with its beautiful landscape, lush vegetation, nice ocean and a pretty panoramic view of a suburban area, this par 72 is not overly difficult, with mostly wide-open fairways, provided that you can read the putts on some of its sloping greens, often surrounded by water hazards and/or wide bunkers, but where are the... yachts ?
the front 9 is simply spectacular with plenty of great-looking holes, starting with the gorgeous and straight par-4 1st, facing the ocean, with a wide-open fairway, lined up with palm trees and plenty of vegetation, and slightly-downhill all the way to the green, and the scenic and straight par-4 2nd, similar to the 1st, but with a view of the city skyline (on the right) as you approach the downhill green.
two superb holes follow with the par-3 3rd, with a tee shot over a wide lake landing onto a peninsula green, and with a few... herons standing nearby, and the dogleg left par-5 4th, with a tee shot flying above two parallel lakes, separated by grass and deep rough, and a slightly-downhill green, reachable with a long second shot, offering a nice view of the suburban area behind and surrounded with a few bunkers.
then, after the straight par-4 5th hole, with a downhill tee shot and uphill approach to the green, you will face the nice wide-open dogleg left par-4 6th, downhill all the way, with an undulating fairway and water winding its way across and in front of the green, before moving on to the pretty par-3 7th, with a lake set to the left and behind the green (with herons again !), and the postcard par-5 8th, facing high-rise buildings, with a downhill tee shot flying twice over a serpentine creek and a long second shot to reach the elevated green, surrounded by four big bunkers, set slightly to the right.
you will finish with the wide-open and quite bare par-4 9th hole, downhill all the way and bending slightly to the left, before starting your way back with the picturesque dogleg left par-4 10th, with a tee shot over (or around) palm trees and vegetation (in the inner corner), and a slightly-elevated green.
as you stand on the par-5 11th hole, you can forget about getting an eagle, as it is quite long (around 600 yards) and bending slightly to the left (and with an elongated lake to the left of the green to watch for), but you might be able to birdie the pretty but challenging par-3 12th, with a tee shot over a big lake and a flag, set right on its edge, before facing two similar dogleg right par-4 holes (13th, 14th) with downhill greens.
however, unlike on the 11th hole, you might be able to get an eagle on the nice dogleg right par-5 15th, downhill all the way, with a big bunker (in the inner corner) and a long second shot toward the green, with a big lake to watch for (on the right), and follow with a birdie opportunity on the pretty, but not too difficult par-3 16th, with a tee shot over another big lake and a nice panoramic view of the clubhouse and the suburbs in the background, before finishing with two “easier” par-4 holes (17th, 18th), with two slightly-elevated greens.
for his “first” course, rejects (alias “rlslay”) designed another beauty, and this amaila yacht & spa cc 2013 layout (amalia on the scorecard !) is very enjoyable and definitely not a... reject, even though i kept looking for the spa... to soothe my aches and pains ! |

| always like the classic courses, and this one is a classic, if updated. i found the course to be very playable, bounces were fair and greens could be tough at times but fair, too. unlike holein1 i found the front 9 to be a bit better for scoring, but that could change next round! thanks, mike, for a great update to baltusrol lower course. appreciate all your work and all your courses. |

another well-designed and updated version which, hopefully, cost less than $23 million to msr golf to create, very pretty to look at with nice wooded and/or green hills far away, pristine two-tone fairways, and with beautiful and strategically-placed bunkers to... avoid if you can !
while this par 72 is not overly difficult, with plenty of wide undulating or rollercoaster fairways, getting to the greens, however, requires accuracy, not to mention good putting as some have gentle slopes or ridges to deal with.
thankfully, you will start your round with a... christmas (!) gift, as the par-5 1st hole, slightly uphill, is straight, with a fairway along trees and a road behind (on the left), and quite short (less than 500 yards), offering you a great eagle opportunity to start on a high note, before facing the dogleg left par-4 2nd, with a tee shot over a big bush landing down onto an undulating fairway and with an approach over a big sandy area, filled with deep rough, across the fairway, to reach the green.
the next two holes are my favorites on the front 9 : if the par-4 3rd is a nice dogleg left, with a tee shot landing down onto a rollercoaster fairway and a downhill approach over a small creek, crossing the fairway and flowing into a big lake (on the far left), to get to the green, the par-3 4th is simply gorgeous with a tee shot over a small lake (with a fountain in it) landing onto a green, real close to the grandstands right behind.
then, after the straight par-4 5th hole, with its blind and uphill tee shot landing down, past deep rough (with a little bit of sand), diagonally the middle of the fairway, and an uphill approach to the elevated and sloping green, guarded by three big bunkers in front, and the par-4 6th, requiring another blind tee shot, you will have another eagle shot on the dogleg right par-5 7th, slightly-uphill all the way and with a road, behind the green.
the back 9 is somewhat easier but that does not mean that it’s “a walk in the park”, as you will have to be careful with the par-3 12th hole, uphill and with a bunker in front looking like a “sun-up egg”, with deep rough in the middle, and a little ridge around the cup, and/or the dogleg right par-4 13th, with a tee shot flying above a creek, crossing the fairway diagonally, and an elevated green, with an elongated bunker (with high rough in the middle) on the right side.
finally, after three “easier” holes (dogleg left par-4 14th, uphill all the way and with a blind approach to the green, straight par-4 15th, with a blind and uphill tee shot landing steeply... down onto an undulating fairway and an elevated green, with a tiny creek in front, and the straight par-3 16th, with four bunkers around the green - , and on the sides), the last two dogleg left par-5 holes will definitely test your skills.
the 17th hole, uphill all the way, is quite scenic, with a big sandy area (filled with deep rough) across the fairway, two-thirds of the way, and two wide bunkers in front guarding the elevated green, (making your second shot quite risky if you want to get an eagle attempt), just like the superb 18th, with a downhill tee shot landing down near an elongated lake (on the left) – with a fountain in it, over which you will have to hit your uphill approach to get to the elevated green before heading for the beautiful clubhouse for a well-deserved rest !
once again, msr golf came up with a beautiful rendition of a real course, both visually and playing-wise, but you should be able to finish below par, especially with three short par-5 holes to “play with” on this baltusrol gc lower 2025 course before, maybe, waiting for the upper version if msr golf chooses to design it ! |

| a par 70, big drives got me into trouble for sure, but the par 4's were tough, long with a lot of bunkers, trees, and the like. so it was hard to make up lost shots. i found the course delightful, except maybe the colors were a bit drab. but that is nature! played advanced/gusty/heavy and broke 80! thanks, all the cgx designers, for a championship course...another one. |

| i may never catch ernie els - or tiger - but it's a heck of a course, with, to me, narrow twisting fairways and some tough greens - and a ton of people out to watch! never saw such a crowd! thanks, cgx designers, appreciate the opportunity to play a course like this...appreciate it. |

| do have the 2009 version, haven't played it for a while so not sure what has been updated, but 2017 is a fine-looking course with a very fair 3 levels of rough around most of the fairways, which i really liked being i get there a lot... greens rolled nicely on dry, and overall i had a fun time. thanks, rlslay, for another challenging but playable course, appreciate your touch on these courses. |

| well, i'll break this into two parts - first, at least on my computer, there are white boxes in the background that break up as the camera moves, on most of the holes. not a good look. now, ignoring the white boxes, the course is very good, some really tough greens, but overall playable and enjoyable. enjoyed my round, and want to thank rejectes for submitting amaila, and for all the work it took. appreciate it. |

| whitefield...such a nice name, such a pretty course, just a pleasant stroll in the park...not! teeoff, you did great, a course that ends up testing every part of my game, mostly the putting and around the greens, which are contoured and fast! loved the layout, reachable par 4's and #11 just killed me! thanks for whitefield, thanks for all your courses and all your skill. do appreciate it, and you. |

| well, a bit of a false front on #1 took me by surprise...and my drive on 18 ended up in the rough, so i picked a club, took a look and almost fainted, a huge cavern (didn't look to me like a small, deep ditch, holein1) between me and the green! ended up pitching out to the fairway! what a great and challenging course, lots of bunkers, but lots of ways to spoil a round. thanks, rlslay, for another masterpiece, for all your work, talent and ability. |

| well, put up on cripple creek on the ipod, booted up cripple creek, and proceeded to have one heck of a time playing neil's tribute to the band! great course, just like a real course - which is a compliment from me, and tests all parts of your game with the right settings! thanks, neil, for a great course, and bringing back memories of the 70's! appreciate all your efforts and talent. hope all is well with you. |
