Ask Quietly for the moon... and you will get it with this first-ever night course !
Once again, this par 72 will go down in Tiger Woods’ History books : after the Downtown at Sylven Glenn GC and its moving trains, trucks, cars, buses and planes flying by, and the Torrey Pines South Course with its hang gliders and paragliders, Quietly has reached a new milestone and written a new chapter in designing courses, with this Atlantica Club at Night masterpiece.
With a full moon "staring" at you all along, you will start with a long (almost 630 yards) opening par-5 hole, with a second shot over a big sandy area across the fairway (filled with a few bushes), and a third approach shot to the green (with a big elongated bunker on the right in front and two smaller ones on the left, before moving on to the similar but shorter par-4 2nd, and the gorgeous par-4 3rd hole, with a very undulating fairway along a city road on the left, and a green, surrounded by a few bunkers.
Then, after the following par-3 4th hole, with its green, surrounded by three big bunkers, and the par-4 5th, with its tree-lined fairway, a second shot over that sandy area again and an approach to the green, slightly to the right, you will move on the par-3 6th hole, where you will have to be careful with your tee shot to avoid landing into that wide bunker in front (or the one on the left) of the undulating and slightly-elevated green.
After the nice right dogleg par-4 7th hole, with its undulating fairway and a second shot to the green, with a small bunker to watch for in front and a wider one on the right, you will reach one of my favorite holes, the gorgeous par-4 8th, with its slanted fairway along the sandy beach on the left and its green, slightly to the left and above the coastline, with a 360-degree moving light of the... pretty lighthouse (further to the right) !
You will finish the front 9 with the short (around 510 yards) right dogleg par-5 9th hole, with quite a few bunkers on the right all along and a little ditch across the undulating fairway in the middle (making your tee shot quite tricky), followed by a second shot toward the slightly-elevated green.
The back 9 starts with the pretty and tough right dogleg par-4 10th hole, with a big Prince Edward Island agricultural factory on the right halfway (with blinking lights on top !), and a green, partially surrounded by a big pond in front and behind on the right, and is followed by the beautiful par-3 11th, with a tee shot across a narrow elongated lake crossing diagonally from the right and ending past the undulating green on the left.
After the right dogleg par-4 12th hole, with some elongated bunkers on the right, not far from the downhill and undulating green, and the other right dogleg par-4 13th, slightly uphill all the way (and with a big elongated bunker around the right corner), you will move on to the left dogleg par-4 14th hole, with another wide elongated bunker on the left, two-thirds of the way, and a smaller one on the left of the slightly-downhill green.
The par-5 15th hole is a right dogleg with a slanted and undulating fairway and a long approach to the undulating and elevated green (with a flag, sometimes hard to see), with a few bunkers, not far from it in front, unlike the very picturesque par-3 16th, facing the ocean, with a gorgeous green, set on a rocky plateau with a big bunker in front and sand all around below.
The last two holes are gorgeous too : the par-4 17th is a right dogleg, along the ocean on the right where, after a tee shot over the beach landing onto a slanted fairway, you will need to hit your approach shot over more sand across to reach the slightly-elevated green, and the par-5 18th hole is a left dogleg, with a great panoramic view of the ocean, again on the right, and a very tough (and long) approach shot over more sand to the elevated green, with two deep bunkers below on the right !
As you can imagine, this Atlantica Club at Night course is... night and day with anything you have ever seen or experienced before and is, obviously, quite different from its daylight version : gone are the moving truck, the planes and the seagulls, “replaced” by new visual cues such as shadows, blinking lights and floodlights, and this is why you should play it first (despite starting it with the textmod utility) to really discover how spectacular it is before playing the daylight version, also beautifully-designed by Quietly...
So, hurry to download it and (I never thought I would say that !) have a good... night at this Atlantica Club !
