A new designer sent me a PM asking for a playthrough of their course, so I thought I'd make a series out of it Here's the first one: If anybody else is interested in hearing my thoughts on playability and aesthetics, please post your course in this thread and I'll take it for a spin. Just be warned that I know bugger-all about the technicalities of the course designer, so I cannot provide any advice on how to fix any wonkiness. But I am borderline awesome at this game and can hopefully give you some useful feedback on how the course plays, its challenges, the balance of risk/reward choices, and any glaring problems that I think might cause PGA players to whinge at you like the entitled ungrateful primadonna crybabies that they are.

Very interesting take on course reviews. It's quite refreshing to see somebody who doesn't know anything about the designer but is really good at the game, therefore giving out critiques on a course for its playability. I'd definitely like to hear your thoughts of my latest design which is named... NJ National - TOUR

I'd definitely like to hear your thoughts of my latest design which is named... NJ National - TOUR My pleasure, tovarisch Stunningly realistic and clean as I expected and zero potential whinge-inducing issues, only complaint really is there's not enough danger, and the little danger there is could be dangered-up quite a bit imo. That said, paging Matt10 as I think this would be perfect for TST at some point this season!

That title, music and the Lenin picture had me laughing! Just starting to watch it, now. Legendary presentation, comrade. Thanks a lot for this review and your recommendation to Matt. Solidarity.

Can you do Northwood Golf Club TGC please Larry. Here you go, really enjoyed that round, some cleverly thought-out spots and nowhere near as as gripitandripity as I initially expected!

Pal, I want to hear you blaming me. Can you give Laphroaig a go?? I hit Pablo-blaming levels that shouldn't even be possible (lots of swearing, so don't watch at work) : As you can tell from my updated sig, I loved this course. Every shot had a decision with a solution to avoid danger, and hazards were perfectly placed. And it looked the part as well. Can't believe I hadn't heard of this course before now!

I do like your updated sig, could be better, but it's really good No worries about the work part, I don't have one yet, so that's not a problem. I'm glad you liked the course, I'm trying to give it a bit of life, but in TGC 2 it was quite succesful

Could you give jumbuck beta a run through, just a beta at this stage but not far off complete.

I would like to hear your opinion of my Wolf's Fang Golf Club course. Here you go, extremely solid course, just a bit easier than the name suggested for me!

If so I'm incredibly impressed, this course ticked so many boxes for me, not only being a seriously tough challenge but it looked great as well. Some urgent corrections needed to avoid moaning about an otherwise great course - couple of pins had lots of yellow next to them and at least 2 tees (the ones I checked) weren't flat. Should be pretty easy to fix!

Here you go, really enjoyed that round, some cleverly thought-out spots and nowhere near as as gripitandripity as I initially expected! Thank you for the video. I'm very glad you enjoyed the round and the course, and you quickly discovered the subtleties of Northwood. Your comments were constructive and mostly positive. I also noticed your language matched your outfit.
