Since my friend Winkywiggle went to the trouble of reviewing one of my courses, I thought I'd return the favor, so I downoaded this course. It's a ton of laughs, provided you get past the third hole, where you're confronted with a dip in the green around the flag that spits your ball out harder than you played it in. It's an intriguing aspect of the course, and a neat, albeit completely useless trick, but it prevented me from finishing the course. If I have to concede a hole, not because I played it less than perfect, but because the architect made it intentionally impossible, there may be fun in that for some, but not for me. What else can I say? The course certainly looks bright. The architect seems to have selected the brightest colors that he could find. If that is your taste, there is no arguing with that, but I prefer somewhat more subdued colors myself. Then there are the ponds. I would like to recommend that the architect uses one of the available pond textures instead of ocean textures. They give a much nicer effect, certainly on a colorful course like this. I would also like to see water surfaces that are flat though. Pond edges don't tend to climb up hills, as they do here. It is of course fantasy course, so the architect is free to do as he pleases, but a little nod to realism would actually only add to the charm of a course like this. So that is another definite minus, as far as I'm concerned. All in all, this course has more to do with miniature golf than with the actual game, if you ask me. Apparently that is how this designer likes his courses, so I won't argue with that, except to say that even within that format there is a lot of room for improvement here. I understand from the course text that the designer advocates safe sex. That's a relief, at least... (B.t.w. I haven't rated this course, because I think rating is quite useless.)
