Great links course! Beautifully sculpted throughout, love your true-to-life crumpled fairways and rolly-polly greens. Your bunkering is also very much linksy, and well-sculpted. I love the way this plays. Like real links courses, you really have to focus on the way a shot will land and what it will do afterwards (ground game). Thoroughly enjoyed this, great job!

hey Derek
Finally got a chance to play this one
Echo a lot of the previous comments... Really enjoyed the course, you have a very good grasp of terrain shaping and contouring... The more you delve into the designer the smoother some of the surface transitions will be which will lead to smoother overall lines for fairways and greens and such... The bunker sculpting worked well here and the planting was good.. (could have even planted some more grasses, gorse and bushes and such around the ridge lines but I liked what you did here... The rock work around some of the edges of water stood out as well
Great work man, cant wait to see more work from you the further you dive into this lovely designer....Keep it up man
Terry
