With nice and seldom-seen green rolling hills as a panorama (designed by rlslay), this Leopard Creek course is delightful to watch and play, with plenty of water hazards (lakes, ponds and creeks – with reeds in them), slight elevation changes, and quite a few challenging shots, not to mention three par-5 holes on the back 9. This par 72 starts with the left dogleg par-4 opening hole, with a second shot over a creek winding its way in front and past the green (on the right), and continues later with the straight par-4 3rd hole with an approach over that creek again, two-thirds of the way, with the creek, this time, flowing to the left. I also like the scenic par-3 5th hole, with a tee shot over a small elongated lake, shaped like a half moon, and the other par-3 hole, the 7th, back the other way and with its green to the left of that small elongated lake again. The slightly-uphill left dogleg par-4 9th hole is quite picturesque too, with its wide open view and a creek running along on the left of the fairway, midway, and its beautiful but tough approach to the green, set in between two small lakes. The first two par-4 holes on the back 9 have a meandering creek, crossing the fairway midway, and are slightly-uphill all the way, with the 10th, being a left dogleg and the 11th being more straightforward. Then, after the downhill par-3 12th hole, you will face the left dogleg par-5 13th, with a tee shot over the creek crossing the fairway midway and running all the way on the left (before ending into a big pond near the green), and the par-4 14th hole, with a downhill tee shot landing beyond a narrow fairway (with trees on the left all along and plenty of vegetation on the right, midway), and a second shot over the creek crossing in front of the elevated green. The left dogleg par-5 15th hole is even nicer than the 13th, with trees all along on the left and a very tough (and blind) second shot to the elevated green, with a big bunker in front (on the left) and a wide elongated lake, on the right of the slanted fairway. Another tee shot over the wide lake awaits you on the pretty par-3 16th hole, before moving on to the right dogleg par-4 17th, with quite a few bunkers in the corner, making the fairway narrow (and another elevated green), and finishing with the pretty par-5 18th hole, with a creek running on the right side and its green, almost surrounded by water, with a pretty clubhouse behind... Needless to say, this CGX (or GGX !) Leopard Creek is another great course to keep and you will enjoy it, as it is visually pretty and challenging enough to keep you on your toes until the 18th green !

Note: You will see the course name is starting with GGX ( and not with CGX as usual ), so the course is listed in TW08 in the G section.
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.
