Welcome to Palamino Golf Club, my entry into the 2020 Rookie Design Contest.
Settled deep in the jungles of Honduras lies Palamino Golf Club. With a par of 72 (three par 3's, three par 5's) and totaling 7,266 yards, this ultra secluded golf course is sure to make golfers second guess some shots, and also puts a premium on shot accuracy off the tee, as well as on approach shots. Those who make the smart plays and have accuracy dialed in will be rewarded with fairly tame greens, and low scoring rounds. The main star of this course is the lush ravine which stretches the length of the course and is a feature point on 10 holes, including the scenic home stretch of holes 11 - 17. While beautiful to look at, you do not want your golf ball to fall into the heavily dense brush, as any ball that lands in the depths of the ravine will be Out of Bounds!! After your round you can relax in the clubhouse to indulge in the finest coffee and cigars Honduras has to offer, and enjoy the gem that is Palamino Golf Club.
Course is designed to be played off the black tees in default conditions, with a medium South wind. Hope you enjoy the round, on to the next course!!!

I really love the look of this one - it has a kinda classical design but a very creative setting. You rookies are practically professionals now

I took a crack at streaming a play through. First time doing it - using PS4 only with a crappy headset. No clue how to do thumbnails or any of that stuff :-) I think that next time, I'll get rid of the comment box thing and have my laptop open or something in case anyone actually stumbles onto the video live.
Overall, a solid course.

Hey - congratulations on the publish. Just played a round and wanted to pop onto the thread and say how much I enjoyed it. Played default conditions with tour settings and I think I finished -11 (mainly down to a very hot putter!)
I think the setting is beautiful and I really like some of the design choices you made. The space between the fairways and the planting is really generous and I think it gives the course a really open feel but with some really nice tree work to make sure the holes are framed. I thought the sightlines onto the adjacent holes were spot on.
Greens were another high-point for me. Tough if you find the wrong spot and not always easy to find the right spot if you don't hit the fairway. I also really liked the planted ravine that was used on a number of the holes. How heavily it's planted might not work for everyone but I thought it looked good.
Really good course and I'll definitely play it again. Best of luck for the contest.
