once again i already had the B course , but very pleased to be able to actually make a comment and praise once again a wonderful scenic course, i have to disagree with Holein1 however about it being not very spectacular or not being overly difficult. Might i suggest it depends on how you play courses, i play advanced 3 click and i tend to go for tough settings , ie dry or very dry, breezy or gusty, tournament tees if possible, and difficult pins, that makes all courses a real true test in my humble opinion. many thanks once again to all the people involved in bringing more wonderful designs for us all to enjoy . kind regards Ray

This Innisbrook course is not very spectacular, but it is well designed, as usual by the CGX team, and it plays smoothly, even though it is not overly difficult with its wide fairways and few slightly-elevated greens, but the back 9 is more scenic and challenging, with a few water hazards.
On the front 9, I like the right dogleg par-5 1st hole, with a blind downhill tee shot, a wide tree-lined fairway and a slightly-elevated green, guarded by two bunkers on the sides, the right dogleg par-4 3rd, with two big ponds on both sides not far from the green in front, and the long (around 600 yards) par-5 5th hole, with a tee shot across a lake midway, and a very long and blind uphill second shot to try to reach the green, to the left, and at the end of a small downhill slope.
Coming back, after the par-5 11th hole, with a downhill tee shot and a long second shot to the green, slightly to the left (with a few bunkers in front), the next three-hole stretch is nice : the par-4 12th hole (my favorite) is a right dogleg, with a narrow winding fairway (and trees on the left near the tee box) and two small lakes on the right, with the second one, a little bit further, having a little creek crossing the fairway midway.
On the par-3 13th hole, you will need to hit your tee shot over a small lake ending beyond the green (on the right), before heading for the nice par-5 14th, with a winding fairway and a very difficult second shot with a big tree (with a little bit of water below on the right and the Copperhead sign seen on the above picture), blocking the view of the green, further back to the right, with a wide bunker on the left.
As for the last three-hole stretch (the “Snake Pit”), my favorite is the right dogleg par-4 16th hole, quite pretty, with trees lined up along the fairway on the left and an elongated lake on the right, and a slightly-elevated green at the end of a narrow fairway, with trees on both sides.
Overall, a pleasant par 71 course, where you will not be overstressed, and another real course to add to the credit of the CGX team...

As you can see there is a A and B version of this course, both versions are the same, only the flag position on the green is different.
Important note: a lot of CGX courses are only playable from the: PRO tees
The cgx designers created courses in high tempo, so they only made the pro tees playable.
So in TW08 you have to select the PRO tees.
