interesting contrast between the manicured golf course designed by tee off golf and the wild nature of the panorama...
reasonably flat, but with a few undulated fairways, this par-72 course plays smoothly but requires some precise shots at times as some fairways are narrow and some greens have tricky slopes.
on the front 9, the par-4 5th hole offers an interesting view from the tee and the par-5 7th, while straight, requires a good approach shot to reach the green and... stay on it ! the best hole, however, is the par-3 8th, with water and a few bunkers in front of the green.
on the back 9, plenty of bunkers are lined up on the left side of the fairway of the par-4 13th hole with water on the right, while the par-4 16th hole has a narrow fairway with lakes on both sides.
overall, a nice course to play even if, with a little concentration, you should finish with a low score. |

even without having a brandy, this course looks nice and plays smoothly despite the winding walking paths. as for the numerous golf carts on display, maybe it is for golfers who had a brandy !
well designed by msr golf, this par-70 course is relatively easy, give or take a few tricky greens. water comes into play on a couple of holes "forcing" you to concentrate a little more on your approach shots. the par-4 1st hole, a dogleg with water on the right is nice, and the par-5 11th has a narrow fairway. as for the par-3 18th, it requires you to hit a precise shot over the water to finish your round on a happy note.

nice snow-capped mountain panorama makes this course pleasant to look at. undulated fairways and high rough will not stop you from making birdies on this relatively easy par-70 course.
i do not have favorite holes, as most of them are pretty straight, but the course plays smoothly all the way and ron717 paid attention to small details to make it an enjoyable experience. |

| great rendition with superb detailing and realism. the pano, of course, was amazing. the course itself is very impressive - can see why it ranks highly - but i didn't quite love its layout as much as some other well-known courses.. holes 7 and 13 easily the standouts for me, they certainly had the wow factor. great fun as always and amazing work yet again from the cgx team, cheers! |

| loved it! this course has a great layout, is challenging and interesting, and has buckets of beauty. and for all that it played seamlessly. i read a couple of articles about the course afterwards (such was my enjoyment) and much of what was said was captured perfectly by this design. amazing work, my hat's off sir. cheers! |

this course is not nice, it is simply gorgeous (lol)!
a stunning masterpiece by jjhold : beautiful scenery and great attention to details (tennis courts, villas, clubhouse, fences, bridges, tee markers, etc...), combined with superb elevation work and strategically-placed bunkers make this course fun to play.
the par-4 1st hole sets the tone : right off the... bat, you are in for a visually stunning experience. the par-3 3rd hole with its big slope and bunkers all around the green is very nice, just like the very hilly 4th and 5th holes. the par-5 6th hole is magnificent with its villas and the par-4 7th with its very narrow fairway will challenge you.
on the back 9, the hilly par-4 10th hole is nice but the twisted par-4 11th hole is even nicer. if you add the par-3 12th hole with its hidden flag, you will enjoy your round all the way to the simply spectacular, and unusual, par-3 18th hole !
hurry to download this masterpiece or you will regret it ! thank you so much, jjhold, for all the hard work you did ! |

this course is well designed with its split textures on the fairways which, at first, gives an impression that they are very narrow.
if you add some undulations and slopes, it makes this par-72 interesting to play even though it is not too difficult. the front 9 plays smoothly but the back 9 is more challenging with water coming into play on a few holes (my favorite hole, the par-5 12th, 13th and 14th).
besides the nice clubhouse, there is also a parking lot and some houses/villas, even though most of them are a little bit hidden by the tree-lined fairways.
a nice job done by jjhold... |

| wow this course is tough. i set my wind to gusty before playing and at first look on the opening tee i knew i was in trouble. managed to hobble home with a -1, though not much 'white' on my scorecard. really enjoyed it, very authentic links feel and agree with all the other comments - it's a gem of a design. cheers! |

what a beautiful course designed by... pitbull, with great elevation work and nice planting !
this par-72 seems relatively easy with wide fairways and smooth greens and will give you plenty of birdies and/or eagles opportunities but, just when you think you are on your way to a record round, a few holes will test your accuracy and putting skills.
the par-4 1st hole is visually very nice with water crossing the fairway, but the best hole on the front 9 is the very steep downhill par-3 8th with water in front of the green.
on the back 9, the dogleg par-5 10th hole is very nice but the par-3 11th island hole is even nicer. and what a way to finish with the rollercoaster par-5 18th, visually stunning all the way to the clubhouse...
this course is fun to play and could look even better without these few electric power lines standing real close to the par-4 5th and 14th holes !
too bad a few pitbulls could not chase them away...

challenging course where the slightest mistake can get you into big trouble (water, high rough, etc...).
beautiful tree colors, sloped and downhill fairways, well-placed bunkers and a few tricky greens with tough slopes will test your shooting skills. on the front 9, i like the par-4 5th hole with a downhill tee shot followed by an uphill approach shot to the green, and the par-4 9th where the flag is really, really close to the water (with difficult pin settings, of course !).
the par-4 6th and par-5 8th are sharp doglegs, partially hidden by trees and look nice too.
on the back 9, the par-3 12th hole is hidden by trees too, while the par-5 16th will make you think twice about trying to reach the green on your second shot as a big tree stands near it, blocking the view.
and don't expect to be out of the woods yet as the par-3 17th has a tough flag placement near the water while the par-4 18th is a nice way to finish your round.
a very nice course, done by bobby bolin, and a definite keeper. thanks ! |

gorgeous course with great attention to details and planting.
narrow fairways and wide, but not deep, bunkers will test your skills on this par-72 course where there are a lot of doglegs and water hazards. on the front 9, i like the par-4 3rd hole and the two par-3 4th and 9th holes, visually beautiful.
on the back 9, the two par-5 10th and 12th holes are very nice (check out all the villas around the 12th !) and the par-4 18th is a beauty with the fountain not far from the green.
a definite keeper for me, thanks to the great job done by bullpupp2 who improved the original version. |

a nice course, only "spoiled" by a small displaying bug as a large rock is levitating over the creek on the left side of the par-4 8th hole (when you use the "fly-by" option).
other than that, this course plays very smoothly with more water on the front 9 than on the back 9. the par-3 2nd and 5th, the par-4 3rd and the par-4 4th holes, all have water running across or along the fairways and look nice.
on the back 9, the nicest hole is the par-5 12th hole with an approach shot over the water to the left of the green.
tee'd off design did a good job with the landscape and bird lovers will be happy too ! |

unfortunately, pcdurum, i was unable to play this course as tiger woods decided to tee off from the first tee on his... knees !
even though it is only the fourth time that this bug occurs (out of more than 200 courses that i have played), it is frustrating as i still don't have a clue about what to do... |

another course well designed and fun to play.
with nice plantings, lots of water to deal with, high rough at times and bunkers to keep you "company", you will enjoy this course.
i like the first 3 holes with doglegs on the first 2 (with a preference for the 2nd hole) and the nice rock textures used on the straight par-3 3rd and the par-4 8th holes, but my favorite hole is the par-5 7th, a dogleg to the right with water on both sides of the fairway.
on the back 9, the two par-3 12th and 15th holes are nice visually and on the two par-4 13th and par-5 14th, even though they look alike, you will have to be careful about the water on the left side.
overall, a nice course to keep with the blue ridge mountains in the background... |

it is nice, once in a while, to play on a... flat course and doha is the place to be !
plenty of sand, water, cactus and palm trees will make your round very enjoyable as long as you choose the right club and don't gamble too much on your approach shots near the greens.
even though there are quite a few nice holes on the front 9 (the par-3 3rd over the water and the enormous par-5 9th - 650 yards !), i like the back 9 better : the par-5 10th with an slightly uphill green with... rocks in front of the green, the par-4 12th, a dogleg next to the highway and the par-3 13th over the water.
but the nicest holes are the par-4 15th with the green separated by the water and the par-4 16th, once again with big rocks near the green.
a definite keeper for me to add to my collection of around-the-world golf courses : thank you j & m design ! |
