Hi Matt
Some feedback...
PROS...
* Green speed @ 8.2 fast was spot on
* Green contouring was great. plenty of partitions for different cup locations.
* Elevation changes maintained interest throughout my round
* Interesting routing (see below)
* No lag
* Excellently crafted plot
* Great environment, e.g. planting, lighthouse, shoreline, dune bunkering nestled into land
* Great drives over dunes on some holes
CONS -
* Interesting routing (see above) - there appeared to be some very long "walks" between holes, e.g. from 9 to 10. Is this a problem? Obviously not for online golf but for the routing nerds maybe?
* From memory there were 2 or 3 holes that could have benefitted from driveline markers esp. if playing no scout cam might be difficult to get a line to the fairway.
* Some fairway shaping was bit funky on some holes and felt a little out of character with some more traditional style links design.
Some other observations...
HOLE 1 - Liked the off-cambered fairway from the tee
HOLE 2 - Didn't understand the fairway shaping. Hole went right after drive but fairway continued left further on.
HOLE 4 - Loved the hard runoffs around the green on a downhill approach.
HOLE 6 - Good decision to be made from the tee in terms of club and line.
HOLE 7 - Loved the more traditional links design/feel to this hole.
HOLE 8 - Waypoint from tee was off. Marker was at about 180m. Approach and run in to green were great. Ground game!
HOLE 9 - Fairway design was a little too funky for my liking although perhaps deliberate and to allow for very strong headwinds, i.e. a bailout further left?
HOLE 10 - A highlight hole for me. I'm a sucker for a great par 3. Did note a very very long "walk" from hole 9.
HOLE 11 - Back-to-back par 3s nice!
HOLE 13 - Quirky straight drive and bunkering round green. Liked it a lot.
HOLE 15 - Interesting short 4. Liked it a lot. Got a big kick left just front of green for a right hand side pin no. 1 and a 30m putt across the green. A lot of fun!
HOLE 16 - Great drive over dune bunker. Marker needed for driveline?
Hope this helps!
Cheers
