Sheesh, those first 4/5 holes to start this are spectacular. Although 13 might of been my favourite. I really liked how you made your shoreline areas. I'll definitely be looking forward to your next one.

This is really well done. It gets a little pinchy off the tee in a few spots but there is so much variety and the par 3's are ridiculously good. This looked like it could be a real place off the coast of Oregon/Washington or one of the Bandon courses. Fantastic job!

Hey Sindre,
Absolutely fantastic course. Enjoyed the hole routings and bunker positions, plantings and strategy options available on fairways. So picturesque and beautiful sculptured. Nice just to look around everywhere. I didn't burn the course up at -2, but still so enjoyable. I'll bet this fares pretty well in the contest - best of luck.
Kind Regards Rick

I went back and read the PM I sent you after Lake Sofia dropped, and I was on the opposite side of the course thread that was calling it the best course in the game. I can't remember a course making me say "holy sh%$" upon load up like this one did though. The view off that first hole is stupid good. I like playing depth tricks with bunkers to make them look clustered when they really have 50-100 yards between them, you did that with giant rock outcroppings. Hole 2 elevation change is done well, hole 3 is an incredible looking par 3. The planting around the bunkering on 4 is great, along with the gradual slope up to the green. I do think the trees take away from it a little, it's kind of a joke at this point about how I despise the toothpick trunk tree look on links-style courses but it's used sparingly enough and I won't mention it again, but I would love this even more without a single tree on the course, or buried deeper into the ground so they weren't majority trunk. 5, maybe one of my favorite short 4's in the game? The approach into the green on 7, diabolical. Rockwork retaining wall on 9, pffffffft, view off the tee and the one on the scout cam when you view the green, what. the. @!$#. I'm telling you. This is the Sindre course I've dreamed of for 2 years now. 11 tee shot - I've seen horizon greens, not sure I've seen a horizon fairway. 12 bridge, maybe a little TOO fancy just to get to a tee box, but I support the flex. 13 view from the tee, seriously? 14 is the first time I've thought "another short 4"? Don't know if I remember getting on over 460 or not, maybe it's the elevation change that masks it. Moot point, I bogeyed it lol. 15, here's my long par 4. Love how the tee shot on 17 really affects the ease of your approach shot. The fairway bunkers feel like old Sindre bunkers, weird shapes and no grass planting around them, like you forgot them or something. Honestly, course blew me away. Perfect difficulty for CC, I could've done without any of the trees entirely, and a lot of your greens still feel like each of your pins gets it's own tier/bowl way too often, but that's really just preference and me trying to find something to nitpick. Really enjoyed my round here, and I have no problem admitting that I was on the fence on whether or not I'd finish a CC submission and you might've made my decision for me with this one. I don't know what to say bud, thank you so much. Really appreciate the thorough feedback and love the notes here. Originally the course was made without any trees. What changed my mind was the 2nd hole tee-shot. I tried to play around with different objects to block a potential drive to Hole 4 and I ended up placing a pair of trees. The issue was that it would look weird if there was only 2 trees on the whole course. So I ended up with placing some more on the mountainous side. So I do feel you on that one .. On the other hand, I think it looked pretty nice at some places. Haha, trust me, I did everything to tease jwtexan a little bit on that bridge lol. Once again, Thanks you man. I hope too see a cracking CC course from you (as always)!! Cheers |

I'm gonna start with the negative first...
1. Found myself with a few too many blind/semi blind 2nd shots from the fairway for my liking. This may (or may not) suggest a slight sculpting issue.
2. Off the first tee I checked out the clubhouse.....not sure how the car drove in that way.
3. Weather was way too nice for the location. Unless of course that was the one day of the year it's clear and sunny up there!
Ok, 2&3 were tongue in cheek obviously!
Really excellent course. Easy 4 stars from me. Prob 4.5 if I could. Great job. Cheers.

Cheers. Sculpting work was all done on purpose - Naturally, blind tee shots will occur more often when the location is very undulated and mountainous. If ur lucky and aim for the right spots, you could get away with zero blind shots on the next round  thanks anyways |

If ur lucky and aim for the right spots, you could get away with zero blind shots on the next round thanks anyways As I put it, "it may (or may not.....)".......given the overall quality of the course, I do believe that everything, within reason, is intended to be exactly as it is. However, I dont think "undulating and mountainous" and blind shots after a perfect drive go hand in hand necessarily. Perhaps something to consider is all I'm saying. A little drop of a hump here, a little tweak of a green there and boom, job done. I say this through gritted teeth btw, as someone who is trying to put out his first course, but is no expert designer. |
