Great course. The bunker placement and sculpting are spot on. The green sculpting was really well done. It was a lot of fun placing your shot on specific spots on the green. I can only imagine that the fairways play the same way on firm setting. That will make for a challenge off the tee. And of course I can’t forget that channel was done perfectly. The edges around the wall were done with detail and accuracy. The land around the wall plays just like the fairways. And the look of it weaving through the holes was amazing. Loved how it played into so many different holes and greens. Great work.

Glad folks are liking the course! Special thanks to Han who was a huge help during this build. Not only did he assist with sculpting the land around the walls (understatement of the year), but his feedback really brought the design to another level. My pleasure After playing a few rounds on here whilst assisting and testing etc, I will just echo what everyone else has already said.....this is a fantastic course but especially from a playability point of view. I said long before it was published that it would arguably be the best fictional (or otherwise dare I say ?) links course in the game. The greens in particular stand out and are some of the best and most fun I have played in any version of the game. Unless anyone is going to do Royal Portrush for The Open Championship this year then I think the schedulers will have a hard time finding something better to use than this course.

Released a Tournament version with only the tour tees, max green speed, crowds, etc...

Finally got a chance to play this course after seeing it a couple of times on streams and it was great!
Really great how you managed to frame each hole even though the style of course really only allowed you to use hills and little pot bunkers.
Probably my favourite links course in the game so far. Great job.

Gave the tour version a spin last night and really enjoyed trying to play the contours on approach shots. Hit a couple fairway bunkers in which the ball rolled backwards to go in. Felt very true to life and don't see that sort of thing happen on a lot of other courses. I kind of wish some of the bunkers were deeper and more punishing, to be honest. Fabulous design, kudos!

Thanks! I shot a 65 on pin 4 of the tournament version last night. Very good score for me! Of course the winds were pretty tame, but still very happy with the way this course plays (even with the maxed out green speeds).

Great looking links course, the retaining wall work is top notch and well thought out. I thought the greens played fair and managed to get a few shots close to the pin.

I just played this for the first time. Wow! Easily the best links design I have played on TGC. Bruh, how long did that channel and retaining wall take?!
Awesome work, 5-stars and favorited.
