| just played this one online, advanced, pro tees, very dry, breezy etc and the course not only looked beautiful but played beautifully too, a great revision on the earlier 2010 version, another top notch keeper for me from one of the very best designers, many thanks for sharing this ecxcellent rendition. |

thank you all for the comments!
@holein1: i agree with you, the 6th hole, par 5, is the most interesting. in the real world, hole 7 (par 3) is also very scenic, with the pond in front, the teeshot between the trees and a mountain in the background (maybe i didn't recreate it so well). the panorama is quite similar to the real one, with the difference however that it should be rotated, with the highest mountains facing north, northwest. |

as mentioned by the designer, percorso mergozzo is a 9-hole real course, which is played twice from different tees (pro and back).
rather easy and short (with a few greens reachable with your driver), you will have some eagle opportunities and you should finish with a low score if you can avoid a couple of small water hazards and a few well-placed trees and bunkers near the greens.
my favorite hole, besides the par-3 2nd, with floodlights near the tee box and the green, and the par-4 4th, a right dogleg with a big pond in front of the green (to the right), is the par-5 6th, a sharp dogleg to the left, with a very tough second shot over trees and a serpentine pond, hiding the green.
overall, with its nice small snow-capped mountains to gaze at, this par 68 is a very pleasant surprise, especially for a first-time designing experience and is worth flying to italy to discover it ! |

a beautiful course and one of bobby bolin’s best with a nice small mountainous panorama and where you will have to be patient and careful with your approach shots, as a few water hazards and some well-placed bunkers stand in the way.
on the front 9, i like the par-4 2nd hole, where a serpentine and narrow bunker splits the fairway lengthwise in the middle, offering you the choice of landing your tee shot, either left or right, and the par-4 3rd, with its downhill tee shot and plenty of water left and behind the green.
but my favorite is the aptly named and very scenic par-3 “potter” hole, where you might need all of harry’s magic touch to hit your tee shot over the wide lake in order to land it onto the narrow green, with nice bushes on a small hilltop behind !
more bushes await you on the right side of the fairway on the pretty par-4 5th hole, before moving on to the par-4 6th, nice too with a narrow bunker and a little bit of water all along the right side of the fairway and where you will have to hit a blind second shot to reach the green, with a lake behind.
another favorite hole of mine is the pretty right dogleg par-4 7th, quite short (a little over 300 yards) but risky as the green is hard to reach if you want to hit your tee shot over the lake, and the gorgeous par-3 8th, with a tee shot over plenty of bushes and an uphill green, surrounded by four bunkers.
you will finish with the par-4 9th hole, with a downhill tee shot landing onto a narrow fairway and an uphill approach to the green, slightly to the right, under the watchful eyes of plenty of fans.
the back 9 has some very nice holes too, such as the left dogleg par-4 11th, along a small hilltop on the left, with a downhill tee shot and with wide bunkers near the green, and the par-5 12th where you will need to hit a long approach over an elongated and narrow bunker (looking more like a dry riverbed), crossing the fairway near the green.
then, after facing the very long par-3 13th hole, with plenty of bushes along the fairway, you will move on to the par-4 14th, a little bit similar to the 12th, with an approach over the riverbed crossing the fairway in front of the green, with a little bit of water on the right.
the next three-hole stretch will definitely test you, starting with the par-3 15th, superb with its tee shot over plenty of bushes and its slightly-uphill green (with four bunkers behind), then continuing with the right dogleg par-4 16th, with more bushes below the fairway (on the right) and a second shot over them toward the green (with a lake on the far right), and the par-5 17th, with a tricky tee shot over some bushes, planted across the fairway, midway, and a long second shot toward the slightly-uphill green, guarded by three bunkers in front (on the right).
and just like on the 9th hole, you will be greeted by plenty of fans in an amphitheater atmosphere as you reach the green of the down-and-up par-4 18th, with your last approach toward the nice clubhouse.
very well designed, challenging, and quite pretty, this par 70 is a definite keeper and another great course to add to my bobby bolin's collection ! |

| slow to get around to this great course! played like a real course, bounces that helped and hurt, had a fine time shooting +1 for the day, and proud of it! on 11 i flew the green and ended up on top of the tv tower...with a downhill lie! chipped a sand wedge and made a 6' putt for my par... thanks teeofftowersey, really enjoyed the course. |

first of all, i hope that bruce does continue to create courses. in the comments he uploaded with this course he states that if he does continue making courses, they will be few and far between. i for one think that he makes some very good, if not excellent courses and will miss them.
though my favorite course of bruce's is ponds 'n' pines golf, there are several holes on this course that i like:
hole #7- this is a long par 5. upon your approach shot, you will be going uphill to a fairly large green that is protected on the left with trees and on the front with a lone pine tree and an area of bushes that is all heavy rough. this area is placed in such a way that you either have to lay up or make sure your approach shot gets enough loft to make it on the green. landing in this heavy rough area adds at least one or maybe two strokes to your score.
hole #8- a very short par 4. you will be tempted to go for the green from even the pro tees. in order to get there, you must go over trees and hopefully land on a rather small green. birdies are easy on this hole, but an eagle sometimes requires luck to get!
hole #14- another short par 4. this is a risk or reward hole. you can either lay up or go for the green on your tee shot. the smallish green is guarded by bunkers and water on the left hand side. the quest for an eagle is probably what most will go for, but if you put your tee shot in a bunker or someplace worse, you might scramble to get a par!
the rest of the holes are well made and i enjoyed playing them. this is a keeper in my tiger woods 2008 pc collection.
