i just now played this course. before i had played it, i had never heard of this golf course before.
a very, very long golf course, scenic, with very winding fairways amidst pines and acres of pine needles which line the outer fringes of the fairways. excellent course rendition. the course itself, didn't prove too unchallenging are too unfair to play, though it sure isn't easy either. |

i realize that the creator of this course takes pride in having made this course. according to my understanding, this course is close to his residence, and he has golfed here...and this course has hosted pga championships and a u.s. open.
it may be that the creator of this course has actually succeeded in closely replicating this actual real-life course. but the design, nonetheless, is very repetitive, uncreative, and very blaise: nearly all holes consist of fairly long straight and very narrow fairways......and very small greens. very, very mundane. also, there were no ambient sounds (birds) for the better and worse. regrettably, i was very unimpressed with "the inverness" to speak frankly. |

years ago, i recall when giving a discourse....how neal a. maxwell repeated the phrase, 'wanderlust.' i was shocked that an esteemed 'general authority' would repteadedly utilize a phrase that contained the word 'lust' as part of its 'compound meaning.'
golfing at the 'links of thun' gives one a sense of 'wanderlust': like a true 'scottish' course, there is very little vegetation other than grass.....the fairways and greens are wide open. you truly 'pinocchio' feel free to use all of your creativity.....for big slices, hooks and low-trajectory shots -as the game was once played.
the course -though wide open- is fairly diverse and somewhat challenging. a well-designed scottish course -though scenery is somewhat too repetitive and perhaps the vistas are 'too spartan.' |

extremely challenging alpine course. extreme elevation discrepancies, very hard-to-hit fairways. very thick rough. smallest greens i've ever seen on any golf course. greens and fairways -like all alpine courses- have lots of slope and undulation.
background vistas, unfortunately, are very artificial looking and low-quality -though they do give an 'oregonian' impression. bird noises are fine but slightly too often and too loud. |

| very good desert course. palm trees give impression that course is located in 'palm desert' or whereabouts of s.e. california. course design starts to become a little monotonous in the back nine, but still very good overall design. no ambient sounds -for better or worse... |

| to be 'pinocchio' honest.....a 'decent' course. looks like it could be 'anywhere' usa -perhaps middle of south dakota or nebraska. average course design......but not a 'keeper' for me. still, not too 'shabby.' |

very nice desert course. very realistic, cool vistas. course isn't too challenging or too easy. it would've been nice if there was a little more elevation discrepancies on the course - so that it truly felt like 'the top of the rim.'
i also noticed that there aren't any 'ambient sounds' -for the better and worse. often, user courses have ambient sounds that are so loud and so incesant, that this alone makes their course 'unplayable.' |

a very well-made tough and very challenging course. water and/or sand come into play on every hole. fairways are twisting and narrow and very difficult to hit. the greens are inverted-bowl shaped, very challenging -reminds me of the greens of pinehurst #2. very difficult to hold greens when playing hard and fast.
one thing that i noticed is that there aren't any 'ambient' sounds (birds, other animals). not necessarily a bad thing since the 'ambient' sounds on plenty of other user courses are much much too loud and frequent. great course design. |

desert setting is extremely-well replicated. great vistas. tree, cacti, grass, and fairway textures are superb and extremely-high quality.
the course design, itself, is pretty good...but somewhat 'monotonous' and lacking in variety from hole to hole. also, the ambient sounds (birds chirping and coyotes howling) are very loud and incessant. sounds play far too often. overall, however, a very good remake of the we-ko-pa. |

| up front, i'm not a golfer. i love watching golf and playing the pc games, but i really loved this course. traveling visually over and through fantastic trees and landing on narrow fairways to reach the greens was a wonderful challenge. the green shapes and tee placements were challenging also. thank you for the course chall. |

this very original, very surprising course, was playable for me when installed by cl setup in tw 2007,
installed by caddie 2008 in tw 2008, it didn't work.
if you intent to play something completely different: install and play this one!!
great! |

i played this fabulous course (installed by tw caddie 2008) in tiger woods 2008.
it's great to play, except that it takes such a very long time loading the course itself and loading every new hole...
what can it be? |

| i agree with kvoiles about the tee off on the hills. it's just odd. also, the course plays wrong especially on hole 15. i had an accurate tee off & it immediately pulled the ball way left. the scenery is beautiful but the course is basically unplayable. |

jakareh, the error message of the invalid chatracters should be fixed now.
when you download and install the course now, then it should work. |
