Hey guys..welcome to my first course after my extended time away from the game....marquesas bay,is a links style beech set course on the island of marquesas in the Pacific Ocean.at 7300 yards par 71, its not the longest but with firm fast undulating greens it can play tough,especially with the wind blowing.stunning views from all around the course,it’s unusual layout starting and finishing with par 3s can provide something different.enjoy a beer in the rooftop bar when your rounds done and enjoy views.enjoy yours rounds gentlemen..cheers.

The greens here are excellent, some of the best green sculpting Ive seen in a while. As a fan of The Sand Pit, this course is a great follow up. It's great to have you back!

Was very impressed with the quality of this course! You pretty much nailed all the elements I look for in a quality course. Took a few more pics as I just couldn’t resist 😉. This was my favorite tee shot on the whole course. Excellent job of framing for a semi-blind shot. It would have been even more satisfying had my tee shot gone in instead of lipping out for an ace! Grrrrr! the finishing holes here were works of art! Did a wonderful job of leaving a lasting impression! Gave it 5⭐️ and a favorite as I’ll definitely be back again! Not trying to take any liberties here but tagging mayday_golf83 for a possible diamond cutter? Great job👍🏻!!!!!

I was also wondering if your water table is low enough on this one that you could raise it some and make a “high tide” version? Just a thought....

We’ve seen variations with Tour versions and Par 3 courses but never one where a vast sandy area or beach is then consumed by the ocean. You’re a thinker!

Really well done man! I agree with Q, the greens were a lot of fun and were carefully sculpted. Sand/dune work was excellent as well. Perhaps a touch too dark, but that’s just personal preference... it definitely added to the atmosphere of the course though. A nice twilight round and then a few rounds at the bar after.. my kinda night lol

Dang this is purty. I just pubbed my first, spent a lot of time with planting in certain locations. I can appreciate the effort here. Really impressive. Congrats.

I’m pretty sure they’ve been ported to 2k21
