Another gem from Jimbo63, with a very nice canyon as a panorama, beautiful plantings and gorgeous downhill views with many holes following the river. Not only is this par 72 breathtaking, it is also quite challenging with plenty of sharp doglegs, slanted and/or sloped fairways and very wide bunkers, a lot of them in front of the greens. The first two holes are pretty and straight : the par-5 1st has a wide bunker right in front of the green, whereas the scenic par-4 2nd hole has a big slope on the right of the twisted fairway, with a small lake to the right near the green, and a big bunker on the left (with a small hill and nice trees behind). The downhill par-3 3rd hole is very picturesque too, with its green across the river, surrounded by nice vegetation and trees (and guarded by another big bunker in front), just like the par-4 5th, with a very nice downhill panoramic view and a tee shot over the river and a fairway twisting left, then right. If the other two par-3 holes on the front 9 (6th, 9th) are similar to the 3rd hole, with a downhill tee shot across the river, I prefer the long dogleg par-5 7th hole, with its downhill fairway following the tree-lined river to the right all the way to the green, and the sharp dogleg to the left par-4 8th, with the river on the right and a downhill and slanted fairway. The back 9 starts with the downhill right dogleg par-5 10th hole, with a nice wide open view from the tee box, a wide bunker in the corner of the fairway and with the green very close to the river (on the right), and is followed by the similar par-4 11th hole. Then, after the nice par-3 12th, again with the river across but with a few trees partially hiding the green, you will reach my favorite hole, the sharp dogleg to the left par-4 13th, with a downhill and slanted fairway and a second shot across the river (to the left) to reach the green guarded by a big bunker in front : simply superb ! Unlike the other downhill par-3 holes, the 14th has the river on the right side and a bunker on the left, just like the long right dogleg par-5 15th hole, slightly downhill with two big bunkers on both sides of the fairway midway. On the last par-3, the 16th hole, you will have to hit your tee shot over a small lake, while admiring the nice panoramic view, before taking on the long par-5 17th hole, downhill with 2 big bunkers on both sides of the slanted fairway and two small ones around the green. Finally, the downhill par-4 18th hole, with its twisted fairway will offer you a chance to look at the little clubhouse to the far right of the green... Downloading one of Jimbo63's courses is a guarantee that you won't be disappointed and this course is no exception, as it is a pure delight to watch and play !

Just finished a 4-hander from the tournament tees, which turned into a marathon. There is much trouble to be gotten into on this course & we all had many instances of doing so. Plenty of deceptive bends & steeply sloping fairways, with dense planting to capture any inaccuracy. Definitely a challenge, but beautiful to look at & play on. I'd give you 5* if I could, Jimbo...
