Comments:

The first thing you will notice is that this courses loads and renders very slow. The next thing you see is a very nice design of the fairways and bunkers. Most greens are done nicely with the exeption of hole 15, a 487yrd par 4,I found it almost impossible to hold this green while playing f/f. There is also a minor flaw on back side of green, a hole in fringe most likely missed by designer. I would play this course more but the slow rendering means it takes around 45 mins to an hour to play even in practice mode, that will make it really not suitable for ALT matchs unless you have 2 hours to kill. Also be prepared to hit many long irons and woods to par 4's, because this course plays a whopping 8164yrds from back tees. That is a big contributer to the time it take to complete a round. If it were not for the slow rendering I would enjoy this course for good long iron and FW wood practice. Overall, its a very good design with an island double that serves as green for the 9th and 18th holes. Im not sure if this is the designers first effort, but he's well on his way to some outstanding courses.
