Smashing design, a really lovely course this. Nothing flash about it, no bells or whistles (only saw water a couple of times and only once in play), nor overly taxing, but an interesting and very absorbing course throughout - my round flew by. Really enjoyed it, a beauty, cheers!

What an interesting course ! With no flowers, a few bushes and only two or three holes where water is present, this course looks dull, at first, but turned out to be quite challenging at times with a lot of blind tee shots, undulated fairways and elevated greens.
For the first 4 holes, you will hit blind shots : from the tee, uphill on the first two dogleg par-4 holes and downhill on the par-3 3rd, and on your second shot on the nice par-5 4th.
The par-4 6th has an elevated green, just like the nice par-3 8th where the green is partially hidden by trees.
On the back 9, the par-4 11th and par-5 12th have enormous bunkers to look at (but not to land in...). The par-3 13th is similar to the 8th hole, but your best chance of getting an eagle is on the short par-5 15th, not difficult even with a few bunkers guarding the green on the right side.
The toughest hole, in fact, might be the par-3 16th, this time with the green really hidden downhill by trees and in the shade. As for the nice par-5 18th, it should give you one last opportunity for an eagle, provided you can avoid the water on the left side.
Overall, like jjhold said, this might not be Sammy08's best design ever, but it is still a very good course and a keeper for me.

Nice course, not my favorite of your designs though...it was built very well and looked really good, but my issue with it is the greens... the textures played like cement, especially since many of the greens slope away from you...also, quite a few of those pins never shoulda seen the light of day, extreme slope around the pins, I wouldn't say they were unfair because of rollback, but the extreme breaks and redirecting little humps were not necessary for what is a very nice course....overall a great job, but the greens were not your normal level of work....still friends?? :P

Outstanding course Sammy, one of your best. Didn't score too well, but that was on me not the course. It's very realistic and playable. I'll be visiting this one again for sure, it's a keeper. 5 stars and then some.

Excellent layout and design.
A pleasant feel to the place.
Note: The yardage on the scorecard does not match the actual hole yardage (on pro setting anyway).
Enjoyed the walk.
