awesome design, this one looks terrific even today on '08 - so it must have been a true gem back in the '06 days. the course has a nicely varied layout with decent challenge and plenty of good holes, it plays smooth and looks beaut. an excellent piece of work, as are each of okeyesten's small bag of designs. a pleasure to play, cheers!

what a contrast after just finishing playing "desert pines 06" by kaishodo !
i was expecting a course set in the desert and i spent the entire time playing inland, seeing the sand far away...
don't expect any cactus, desert plants or pine trees here but it will play nicely and there are lots of dogleg holes to challenge you.
regarding the "famous" 7th hole, i had no problem at all hitting my approach shot to the... left of the flag and the ball rolled nicely to within 5 feet for a birdie.
i was more troubled by the 8th hole where it is almost impossible to hit your tee shot past and/or over the trees obstructing this par 3 hole.
greens are a little bit tricky at times but if you don't overdo it, you can get opportunities for birdies.
p.s. course played with tw07 in novice mode, calm winds but with pro tees & difficult pin placement settings. |

when you get ready to play a course designed by kaishodo, be prepared to be startled. his courses are like no others in terms of imagination, design, textures.
this desert pines is no exception : even though i am not a big fan of throwing everything in but the kitchen sink (on the first 2 holes), the rest of the course is amazing and challenging.
lots of beautiful holes (6th, 8th, 11th, 12th, 16th) but the one that everyone talks about is the 9th where the expression "when you come to a fork in a road... take it !" has never been so true !
well done kaishodo... |

not a spectacular or colorful (no flowers) course by any means, but quite a few dogleg holes make it interesting to play.
fairways are nice and a couple of greens have tricky slopes. plays very smoothly. |

there are fantasy courses that almost look real and others that look like fantasies: this one is the latter.
be prepared to spend most of your time hitting shots over big ravines (a little carton-like unfortunately) and a small bridge while contemplating the nice cacti and other vegetations along the way.
this course is spectacular in its own way (especially the par 3s and the 10th hole) and is fun to play just for its originality.
the 6th hole is very tough as it is almost impossible to get a second shot upward from under the bridge. as for the 12th hole, i will let you guess what club to use to tee off : i suggest to pray hard and you might have a chance to clear the ravine up to the green !
nice imaginative course...
p.s. played with tw07 in novice mode, calm winds, but with pro tees and difficult pin placements settings.

i have a strange feeling, sometimes, that i am not playing the above-mentioned course !
i just finished playing one round and have yet to see palm trees or the desert; instead, i saw a lake, some ponds, beautiful snow-capped mountains and... a lighthouse, not to mention a... boat floating real close to the 16th green !
if you include cacti next to lots of trees with fall colors, you have some sort of melting pot of a course.
i will pass on this one, even though it plays smoothly and the back 9 is much nicer than the front 9. |

| wide greens, wide fairways, wide bunkers, lots of straight holes. this course plays smoothly but don't expect big challenges. |
