Wow! If this is your impression of Fazio... I can't wait to see your interpretation of RTJ Jr. or Jack Nicklaus! In all seriousness. Damnit Ben! We need to see a weak spot from you. Maybe a desert theme or a course designed around a yellow harvest willow tree. Anything that doesn't make us look at our own courses like... Well done sir. As always. This was a desert theme

3 courses from Ben in the same month, you spoil us son!
3 holes down on a Ben course and I'm underpar and theres a drivable par 4... and it rolled off the green and into the water.
Thats more like it.
The rest of the round was fun, was 2 under going into 18 and splash and doubled my way back to even. I played BSV a couple weeks back and felt I played great, shot an 85, felt I played great on Playa and shot a 71 so you could say I have very different expections of what I would consider a good score on one of your courses. Par is great here, the use of water here is classic you, for example all of your driveable par 4's have a strategy of "Balls? Do you have them?" and none of them give me the confidence to say I have the balls to go for it in a TGCT round, thats my strategy coming out of this round but on the other hand this is the first course of yours that I feel don't need to drop to Pro-Am to break 70, this is def a CC course I'll be playing in the future so I'll probably play a few more rounds this week.

This was a desert theme I see it now on the edges of the plot and a few texture shapes...

Finally got around to playing here. In short, this is such a good course, one that fits in with things I really appreciate in the game but probably aren't "contest" winning. It's simple but not dumbed-down or lazy in the least, well thought out, CLEAN as hell, and all around fun to play. Many of the holes remind me of my Copavista course (that I can't port into this game without remaking basically everything) with the sand-side setting, double water plane, sand edged, etc.
Wasn't at all expecting it, but this became an instant favorite. Whichever tour gets the course (if it hasn't already been played on one) will have some happy members. Great stuff here, highly recommend to all for a fun round - after all, this is a video game, fun is kind of the point.

Cheers Smeds! I think CC are getting their hands on this in a couple of weeks - catcherman22 finally relented and put a Ben course on the lower tours Really glad you found it fun to play. That was probably my main goal with it after making so many tough courses recently and something I hope to do a lot more of. See you in Pool F

5 stars and favorited. What an amazing golf experience. The views on damn near every hole were incredible. The greens always felt in between clubs and made me really think about what kind of shot to hit. The contouring was so subtle...every surface looked damn flat and then the ball is rolling in places I couldn’t see with the naked eye. Another fine job, Ben!
