Built this course purely for fun and is my first full fantasy course I’ve attempted. It surprisingly easy to see and play in the dark in this game which is a lot of fun and something different. So this course is only to be considered “fun and casual” 😉 Welcome to Bantuit Forest, Romania. RL FACTS:
The Hoia-Baciu Forest in Romania is thought to be a hotspot of paranormal phenomena. Visitors to the forest regularly report strange symptoms of nausea, anxiety, failure of electronic devices and the feeling of being watched. Personally I’m not a believer in that stuff but it’s fun nonetheless. FANTASY FACTS:
Bantuit Forest (Bantuit meaning haunted in Romanian) was the location for one of the world’s toughest prisons in the 60s. The prison warden used the inmates to fill his pockets by working them in a coal mine which funded his exuberant castle and personal golf course. There was a mass breakout in the early 70s where the warden’s residence was stormed and all the guards, staff and the warden himself were slaughtered. Today, all that is left is the yet to be renovated grounds of the Bantuit Forest and a barely playable golf course believed to be haunted and dangerous to play. It’s a stretch but meh – you get it 😉 *** Have a round, avoid the deep OB pits of death and have some fun.

This was great. I immediately thought of chasw and his fantasy courses since the old GBC days. Awesome environment, and a definite F10/F11 type of course for PC players. I even had to back out and change the weather to be able to see how you made some elements. Loved the backstory and really enjoy the round, and the creativity it took to build this setting. Well done man.

@babybull - appreciate the play as always. Certainly different to doing competition courses and rcrs etc but I had some fun creating the off course stuff. jimgem - never thought I'd see you play a course like this. It's definitely something I'm probably only going to do very rarely (if ever again). The golf course itself is intentionally very basic and pretty easy but hopefully fun all the same. Also the carpark is an old drive-in so maybe you don't have those over in the UK?

Really enjoyed my round.There are very few true "Fantasy" courses that are well done and this one definitely fits the bill.Great job! I really liked the prison you built and the cemetery on hole 18.I put a small cemetery on the 13th hole of my Creepy Hollow(Tour) course but yours looks better😊 There are only two things I would change.More tee boxes and maybe raise the "Sun" a little higher in the sky but these are only my preferences and in no way reflect on the great design.The course has a home in my favorites.Thanks!

We'll see if the saying is true, and a blind SCobbTDC_tv can find the hole ...

Thanks very much for the play and feedback. I don't expect the course to get many plays so I didn't bother creating extra tees. You're right about the "sun" too - it is a little overwhelming in spots. Thanks again and I'll give some of yours a run also. mayday_golf83 - Ergh I'm not sure this is a diamond cutters course but it might be good for a laugh at least. You guys must be getting desperate. Could probably take overs/unders on how many OB pits Hinter lands in .

I will not schedule a night golf course on elite tour... I will not schedule a night golf course on the elite tour... I will not... Looks super fun and I always love the more creative stuff around here. Look forward to giving it a try and continuing to fight my instincts of putting all your courses on tour immediately haha
