a beautiful course with some pretty tough pin placements and some scary (and very close) deep bunkers guarding the greens.
this par 71 is one of those courses where you will think twice about some approach shots and is a pure delight to play with quite a few challenging holes. after a nice dogleg to the left par-4 1st hole, the par-3 2nd is simply superb with all these bunkers near the green and trees partially hiding the green. i also like the other par-3 6th hole, less spectacular, and the par-4 8th, with its lake on the right side and its "collection" of bunkers near the green.
on the back 9, the long dogleg to the left par-5 11th hole is nice with its uphill green, just like the par-4 13th with a small creek crossing the fairway near the green. one of the most scenic holes is the par-3 14th, with a barn on the right side and plenty of bunkers around the green. the par-5 15th hole, with its elevated green, hidden by trees, and the par-4 18th, with its tough approach shot over the lake, will require some tough decisions about club selections.
overall, with its nice plantings, beautiful textures and tough pin placements (on narrow parts of the greens), this course is a definite keeper for me. tnanks again, cgx team, for all your work over the years in making all these beautiful courses for all of us to play ! |

first time in japan and i did not regret my trip ! this well-designed course by msr golf is beautiful with its mountain panorama, tree-lined sloped and undulated fairways, nice ponds and bushes and smooth greens.
after a nice par-5 1st hole with a slightly downhill tee shot and an uphill green, the par-4 2nd hole is magnificent with its blind and steep downhill tee shot towards the green, located slightly to the left. the next two par-4 holes are similar, with the 4th being nicer with a big lone... tree, standing right in the middle of the fairway.
if the par-3 5th hole has a nice overview as you reach the green, the 3-hole stretch (7th, 8th and 9th) is simply superb : the par-4 7th with its small pond and bridge near the tee box, the par-3 8th, my favorite, stunning visually with all the bushes in the ponds and the gorgeous dogleg to the left par-5 9th, with water on the right side and also in front of the green.
the back 9 has more doglegs and less water, but still has some nice holes too with the twisted par-5 11th and 16th holes, with their sloped and narrow fairways, but they do not come close to the breathtaking par-3 12th hole, with all its vegetation and the pond between the tee and the green.
the 17th hole is another nice par-3 and the par-4 18th hole has a gorgeous view of a pond and a fountain on the right side of the green... in the middle of the woods (with no clubhouse nearby !).
tee off golf did a great job with this par 72 ono golf club course which, is my opinion, should be renamed "oyes golf club" (unless the ono stands for "oh, no !" after watching your ball land in the water...) !

what a strange coincidence : after just finishing playing at the sea island retreat course, where a few holes are next to the runway, this course has small... planes as tee markers (but no... runway !).
a small but nice detail added by tee off golf who came up with another gem, only "spoiled" by the sea, way too dark (as "tripel43" pointed out in a previous comment) as you will... see, starting with the par-4 1st hole, and the horizon not really smooth as times.
it is a little bit surprising, coming from tee off golf who did not accustom us to this sea color, and it makes this very lush par 72 course, less attractive on some holes at it should be.
nevertheless, this hilly course has some beautiful holes, especially the par-3 4th, 7th, 13th and 15th holes. on the front 9, i also like the breathtaking view of the par-5 6th hole, with its downhill tee shot and uphill green and, the less spectacular but a little bit similar, par-4 8th hole.
on the back 9, besides the two par-3 holes mentioned above, the par-4 12th is quite pretty with its creek running along the fairway to the right and the... sea as a backdrop, and the par-4 18th hole is beautiful, especially on your approach shot with the palm trees in the background and the nice clubhouse near the green.
were it not fot that dark sea, this course could rank as a top notch, but it is still a beautiful course and, as far as i know, the only one from the fiji islands that i have seen so far, another reason for adding it to my around-the-world best collection ! |

well, i guess it was bound to happen : i thought i had seen everything on a golf course but, today, i played my first round of golf next to a... runway !
thankfully, there were no planes taking off or landing to disrupt my concentration but, as you will see for yourself, the 4-hole stretch (11th to 14th included) is right next to it. obviously, this must the fastest way to land at the sea island retreat course, beautifully designed by tee off golf, with its tree-lined and wide fairways, smooth greens and lakes !
this par 72 plays very smoothly and is not overly difficult with my favorite holes being the par-4 6th, a dogleg with the lake to the right and the par-5 17th hole, quite pretty too with, once again, water on the right side.
in short, another nice, but not really challenging course from tee off golf, where you should finish with a low score if you don't miss... your plane ! |

tee off golf did it again with this links-style course down... memory lane, as you will see if you take a closer look at the par-4 12th hole, where a canon (from the 1779 war...) stands to the right of the fairway (after the big pond past the tee box).
with nice plantings to look at, this par 72 plays very smoothly and is quite enjoyable with its meandering creeks and/or small lakes on the first 9 holes. the back 9, however, is even more scenic with the waterway, especially the 4-hole stretch (the par-4 12th, par-4 13th, par-3 14th - even more spectacular when you replay your shot with the reverse camera and, to a lesser extent, the sharp dogleg to the right par-5 15th).
the final par-4 18th hole concludes your round in a very nice way with a beautiful island green, making this par 72 course, a definite keeper for me and, i hope, for you too ! |

another beautiful course, designed by tee off golf, with meandering creeks, lakes and very nice plantings.
this par 72 is quite enjoyable, especially where water comes into play. besides the par-4 3rd hole, with its nice overview of suburban houses near the green, my favorite hole is the par-4 6th, with its two meandering creeks and where your ball will fly over the water, not twice, but three times (!). the par-5 7th hole is also nice with its tough and long second shot to reach the green over the lake.
on the back 9, i like the classic-looking par-3 14th hole with its big lake between the tee box and the green, and the par-5 18th hole, with the lake along the left side of the fairway.
with nice hole markers near the tee boxes and a few challenging holes, this course is fun to play, thanks to tee off golf's nice work... |

another well-designed golf course by tee off golf with tree-lined fairways and smooth greens but, unfortunately, the course itself does not offer any real challenge, give or take a few holes, such as on the dogleg to the right par-4 8th, with big trees hiding the view of the fairway to the left, or the sharp dogleg to the right par-5 14th hole with bunkers guarding the green.
despite tee off golf's designing talent, this par 72 course lacks excitement but it does not take away all the nice work he has done. |

with a gorgeous sun-lit mountain panorama, this course is very scenic with its beautiful views of the lake from almost every hole.
not overly difficult, this par 72 lacks a little bit of variety as you will spend most of your time hitting downhills shots on either straight or dogleg holes (mostly of the back 9). but with nice trees, a few bunkers here and there, and smooth fairways and greens, it plays very nicely and is quite enjoyable and a definite keeper, as far as i am concerned. |

another gorgeous course from tee off golf, with a beautiful landscape, nice mountain panorama and superb lakes to contemplate.
this par 72 is not overly difficult but it is very enjoyable and quite scenic with all these water holes. the par-4 1st sets the tone for the rest of the course with its lake on the left side and its wide fairway. the next 4 holes have water too, with the cute par-3 2nd and the long par-5 4th holes being my favorites.
water then plays "hide and seek" on the next few holes, replaced by beautiful views of bushes on the par-3 6th and par-4 7th holes before coming back on the nice par-5 8th hole, splitting the fairway, before vanishing again on the par-4 9th hole.
on the back 9, i like the very scenic par-5 12th hole with lakes on both sides of the fairway, the dogleg to the right par-4 17th and the nice approach to the green of the par-5 18th with grandstands and the clubhouse all around.
with its manicured fairways, nice plantings and smooth greens, this course will definitely be added to my around-the-world collection.
thanks again for all your great work over the years, tee off golf !

with its beautifully-designed layout around a meandering river, this par 71 course is flat (which is normal since we are in the netherlands !) and not overly difficult.
however, on a few water holes, you will need to think twice about club selection and the risk/reward associated with it : should i try to reach the green or play it safe ?
as expected, the most scenic holes are the ones where water is present, such as the par-4 1st and the two dogleg par-4 2nd and 3rd holes on the front 9).
on the back 9, if the par-4 11th is nice, my favorite holes are the dogleg to the left par-5 12th and the last three holes, with the par-5 18th, being the best.
if you want to have a very enjoyable round of golf on a dutch links course, this is the place to be, thanks to the designing talent of tee off golf ! |

| well, it'll test your short game for sure! greens (dry) were really fast, and if you're in heavy rough facing an uphill chip you're better off flopping the ball...things i learned! some beautiful holes, 3 and 9 especially, it all flowed very well and tested my patience as well as my game...putted right off 6 into the water! but chipped in on 11 for a birdie. thanks for a unique and really very exciting course, loved the hole (back 9 around 15) with the rocky outcrop and tree between the tee and green! appreciate you skill and effort, jimi. it's a keeper. |

this par 72 plays nicely but lacks challenging holes.
with its bare land, city skyline and... power lines near the fairways, this is not the most visually-exciting course that you will ever see. i don't really have favorite holes but the back 9 looks better than the front 9 with the city skyline as a backdrop.
the par-3 holes (8th, 14th and 16th) are worth mentioning, with the 14th being the most "scenic" with its flying tee shot over a lengthy pond.
this course is not willie's best, but it is rather due to the course itself rather than his designing skills... |

a very nice stroll through england's countryside, thanks to teeofftowersey who (re)created so many tiny details (such as the fountains or the land drains in the middle of some fairways !) to make this course gorgeous.
not only it plays great, but this par 71 has some tough holes too, starting with the sharp dogleg to the left par-4 1st hole, followed by a long approach shot to the uphill green of the par-5 2nd. on the front 9, i also like the easy, but scenic, par-3 7th, with its uphill green and beautiful country road behind.
coming back, the par-4 12th hole with its downhill slope is nice with a little creek running on the right side of the fairway and a big pond with a fountain (and the sound !) to the left of the green. as for the par-3 13th, well, you will be a little bit startled seeing the road (with cars !) and the fence very close to the tee box. i also like the downhill par-5 15th hole with a very tough second shot over trees partially hiding the green, not to mention the pond to the left side awaiting your (eventual) stray shot !
with a real feeling of being there and a beautiful layout, this course is a definite keeper. i just hope you will quickly get in the groove... watching all these groves ! |

very interesting and unusual course with its textures used on the tee boxes, fairways and greens and the short yardages of most holes.
even though i am not a big fan of glass blades on the tee boxes, i have to say that it is quite different and, once in a while, why not ? the beautiful flowers all around make the course look nice but, with mostly straightforward and short holes, i spent my time hitting 3-wood shots to come close to the green then chip or pitch near the cup to finish with a birdie !
there are quite a few tough holes with trees in the way, like the two par-5 7th and 10th, and a few scenic par-3 holes, like the 6th, with a little creek and a bridge to look at or the (very) short 11th (91 yards !) with big bushes in front, hiding the tiny green.
overall, this par-70 offers a different challenge and is worth playing. it will then be up to you to see if that's your cup of tea (or tee) or not, but, nevertheless, you can't take away the nice work done by jp denny to come up with new designing ideas... |

simply an awesome course with breathtaking views, especially on the back 9 where all holes are next to the cliffs, except for the par-4 18th, more inland but still gorgeous with its approach shot.
if you feel well as you get ready to tee off from the par-4 1st hole, it won't last very long after clicking on "find the flag" on the dogleg to the right par-4 2nd hole, really scary with its tee shot over the cliffs !
thankfully, the next few holes, except for the par-3 5th hole, are more inland, but still very nice, like the scenic par-3 9th with its elevated green and a little creek running beyond.
it will then be time for you to take your pills to avoid dizziness as the 8-hole stretch, starting from the par-4 10th to the par-5 17th holes is simply stunning visually !
with a lot of uphill fairways and greens, parallel to the coastline, some shots are vertiginous but you still can finish with a decent score as there are very few bunkers to "welcome" your (eventual) stray shots.
despite a little glitch on the horizon on the par-4 13th hole, where a red rectangle (can't figure out what it is !) appears beyond the green as the camera follows your approach shot (which strangely disappears when you replay your shot, moving the horizon a little bit up & down instead...), this unusual par-68, designed by teeofftowersey, is a masterpiece, with so many gorgeous details (love the lighthouse...) that you should hurry to download it, right now ! |

this par-72 course is a very nice stroll through england's countryside and plays smoothly with so many scenic holes with little creeks, bridges, undulated and/or rollercoaster fairways and nice greens.
if you are not afraid of crows and other bird songs, following you everywhere on the course, you should be able to enjoy all the doglegs, uphill and downhill shots while admiring the views. you might even get a glimpse of a small church and a few houses around but, unfortunately, they are mostly hidden by trees.
with its nice and well-detailed landscape, essendon is a beautiful course and a definite keeper, thanks to teeofftowersey's designing talent !
p.s. i don't know if it is a tw07 bug or not, but a patch of the horizon appears grainy and yellow on a few holes on my pc (6th, 13th, 17th, especially when you click on "find the flag" or when the camera follows the ball in the air)... |
