Rookery Park Golf Club has now been published! 7457 Yard Par 70 that will truly test you without being unfair I played my first round on the published version today hitting -2 in low winds. It's designed so that competitors have to think about each shot and there are quite a few times where one route may be more preferable Karma could I be a pain and ask nicely if it would be possible to get some pictures taken please? PS4 player so don't have the capabilities or graphics or ability to take as amazing a shots as you do! Thanks all

Played it in 8mph winds, also shot -2 (1 bogie) those par 3's (2 + 14 i think) are very tricky indeed especially downwind, very hard to get close, i loved the 5th hole, (par 4 about 470 yds i think) layed up with the t shot so left me having to shape a 3wood around the big tree about 250 yds yards out but some how came away with a three, all in all a very nice course, lots of thinking to be done, thoroughly enjoyed that round Well done Rob

Rob, will give this a go later today. I'm sure I will enjoy it as I personally prefer a more challenging course.

You may have a thick wide fairway one hole and then the next be cramming it between trees on a knife edge. I havent gone OTT on scenery and steps etc but where they have been included I think they work well. Might offer a reward to anyone who can land the ball on the steps on the 16th

I haven't played it yet, but I like that you used one of the older themes.
Boreal is an awesome theme, but after a while some of the courses blend together since so many of the top courses use that theme.

Tough course. I played ultra conservative in 7-11 mph winds. Shot a - 4. Got some lucky bounces. Had 3 birdies on front 9,one was a chip in on 9, and all pars on the back until 18 which I birdied. Dont think I'd try and best that but then again Im not really bright. Very nice course. Had me thinking the whole way thru my round. Liked it alot.

Good choice of theme, I really like the rural theme. The course itself was very challenging but it seemed like on the majority of holes there was a tree infront of the green which got a little repetitive and in some cases a tad unfair. 1st hole was my favorite of the lot, looked very nice and required accurate ball striking to play well. Alot of the other holes to me felt a little tricked up and I got the impression you tried too hard to make it hard. Going off the first hole I believe you have the potential to make a great course.

The trees infront of greens should work so that if you take the harder route for initial shot you have an open approach at the pin. Take the easier route and you wil have to aim at the green rather than the pin
