A very eye-pleasing course, with a beautiful ocean panorama, with small mountains around, nice vegetation (with small trees and plenty of colorful flowers and bushes) and beautiful views along the coastline on quite a few holes.
On the right dogleg par-4 opening hole, you can hit your downhill tee shot over the short trees to cut the corner in order to have a much shorter approach to the slightly-elevated green (while enjoying the nice panoramic view of the coastline far away), just like on the nice left dogleg par-4 3rd hole.
Then, after the easy downhill par-3 4th hole, and its ocean and mountainous panorama behind the green, the course gets tougher with the very long (more than 680 yards !) and straight par-5 5th, with a slightly-downhill tee shot, and two uphill shots to reach the green, with the last one flying over a sandy area, not too far from it, with plenty of gorgeous colorful bushes on the right.
The next three holes are left dogleg par-4s, with the fairway on the 6th hugging the sandy coastline all the way, with a very challenging second shot toward the elongated green on the edge of the ocean (with a big bunker in front of it), whereas on the 7th, you will have to hit your tee shot over the ocean first, before heading for the 8th hole, looking more like the 6th hole.
Coming back, the par-4 10th hole is another left dogleg, with two slightly-uphill shots to reach the green, with nice small trees all along the undulating fairway, followed by the downhill par-3 11th, and the pretty but “easy” right dogleg par-4 12th hole, with a downhill tee shot landing onto a wide fairway and a nice second shot toward the elevated green, with the beautiful ocean as a bonus view.
As you get ready to tee off on the par-4 13th hole, you might be tempted to push your... luck and try to reach its downhill green with your driver, but you will have to make sure to avoid three small bunkers in front, before facing the beautiful left dogleg par-5 14th, bending sharply to the left, and its fairway, hugging the coastline on the right all the way.
Then, after the nice left dogleg par-4 15th hole, again along the coastline on the right but with a second shot over part of the sandy beach to reach its elevated green, you will enjoy “somewhat” the pretty downhill par-3 16th, with its green, next to the ocean, despite its moving waves, not washing off the sand on the right !
The last two holes are beautiful and quite challenging, with the par-4 17th, having a narrow fairway in the middle of a rocky plateau, surrounded halfway by the ocean (requiring a very precise tee shot and an uphill approach to its very undulating green), and the right dogleg par-4 18th, nneding an uphill tee shot landing onto a very narrow undulating fairway (with trees on the left), very close above the coastline and its downhill green...
Overall, if this par 71 is not as spectacular as some other coastline courses, it is still beautiful and very enjoyable to play and you should be... leaping with joy after finishing your round with a nice scorecard, thanks to Hunting Leopard's nice design !

Three Leopard courses in three days: a bit too much?
No! All these creations are interesting and payable (not too easy)
The panorama in the background certainly is NOT in the Caribbean (maybe the United Kingdom or Ireland), but that doesn't matter.
Leopard, sir, I like your designs, so I'm waiting for the next three courses.
Thank, you!

Important: When you play online with friends, all players have to use the fixed version 2 (V2) of the course. When one of the players is using version 1 of the course, the game will crash.

I played several rounds on V2, no crashes here, plays very well here.

Very nice course Hunting.But i had several crashes on it.I see you use 06 stock course library.That can cause problems with people that have higher end machines because the rendering machine changed in 07 wth woods 07.08 also uses the 07 rendering machine.06
they made the courses on much lower shading and rendering so with the new rendering on
quite high graphic settings it crashes.I used a stock 06 on my course(Scarborough) and had
several problems with crashing.There is still crashes on it now and then that people tell me off.I ended up optimising all the textures from that lib. to about max to make it work.I see you used even older Libraries in Stone mill but strange that it is, it didn't crash on me.so I think older Libs. a person must optimise more IMO anyway.I'm no veteran lol.Still the holes on i could play its a vn course nice innovation.
