This time, thekid1435 designed a very challenging and beautiful course... no kidding !
With a hilly panorama, plenty of lakes to deal with, great plantings, high grass and a few tricky greens, this par 74 has a lot of risk/reward holes.
My favorite holes on the front 9, are the gorgeous right dogleg par-5 3rd, with its very narrow fairway in the corner and flower beds further down (and a big pond on the right side of the green), the very short par-3 4th hole, quite scenic with flowers on the left side of the lake in front of the green, and the par-4 7th hole, very picturesque with a lake on the right side and a colorful triangle on the left side, with small rocks, flowers, and a few bushes.
But on this course, choosing the right club is not an easy task as plenty of fairways are separated by (very) high rough with lakes in between or around (such as on the left dogleg par-4 5th or the right dogleg par-5 6th hole)...
It does not get any easier on the back 9 with the left dogleg par-5 10th hole, simply superb with water on both sides of the fairway and, again, in front of the green. Then, after the very nice par-5 11th hole, with its rollercoaster fairways, separated by high rough, you will have to think twice about club selection on the short and beautiful par-4 12th hole, where the green is reachable from the tee box and where you will see a small pond (on the right side) and beautiful flowers and bushes (on the left).
After the par-4 13th hole, with its separated fairways and (very) twisted paths, you will reach one of my favorite holes, the very scenic par-4 14th, with small trees lined up along the road on the left side and water across the fairway midway.
The left dogleg par-4 15th hole is beautiful too, with a big tree very close to the tee box on the left side, and plenty of trees further left on an island in the middle of the serpentine lake which ends up to the front of the green. As for the par-4 17th, it is another risk/reward hole, just like the 12th, where you can reach the green from the tee box, provided your ball does not end up in the lake !
Well designed and requiring some serious thinking with all those well-placed trees and water hazards, this course is a definite keeper and very enjoyable to play, thanks to the nice work done by thekid1435 !

Another great course from The Kid---well designed and challenging enough to make it interesting. Everything in its place and a place for everyting---beautiful pano and the trees are strategically placed so as to make it fun. Keep em comin---Tony.

Great job with this course, I like the textures and you matched the course to the pano. Very good effort with used of trees and plant life. I like the way you grouped plants, flowers and rocks all together. I also thought you put more detail in this course which I enjoy. Liked hole 14 & 15 some tough but enjoyable holes, and I don't always have to play on v-dry greens and found no problems with greens or the course. Thank you for the time and effort on this course

just to let people know the greens are a little more wavy than I thought..expert/dry might have a problem..i thought I made them flatter than I did so sorry
