A game of two halves literally, but more on that later...
This is a fantastic course and the colours are wonderful. The elevation changes are amazingly done to keep it feeling realistic, even though you would need a donkey to carry your gear.
Lovely looking plot

Funky clubhouse

I found the burning house by the lake

Off the first I caught the landmine created bunker and couldn't see the sky let alone the green. Stuck my 4rd close and made par.
The second is a great little par 3 where I caught a lucky bounce and shot across the green. Cool rocks on the left and wall on the right on the other side of the creek.
Tight 4th fairway had me guessing on the ultimate way home.
On the lion's mouth par 3 5th I though I had the right club until I yanked it left into the bunker. 2 chips later I made par.
So close to driving the 6th where my ball was on for a few seconds.
Took nearly 40 odd yards off my approach on 7 for a heart breaking finish. Took 25 off on 8 for the same finish.
Savage kick on my approach shot on 9.
10 had me guessing as well as to how much risk/reward to play with.
11 was so close to being a perfect drive, but left me with a hugely awkward approach.
Nearly perfect tee shot on 12. 13 was a tricky hill to climb.
Which brings me to the 14th, where I thought I hit a decent iron in but rolled back off from near the fringe half way down to the waters edge.
I get down there to play my shot and I'm standing in knee deep water!

I had to quit the round and resume with a drop. Which is why the video is split in two.
Finally finished out on 14 with a double.
That 15th tee shot is wild down the hill. Took 50 yards off my approach to play the ground game in.
Took nearly 80 yards off my tee shot on 16.
Got an awesome bounce out of the rough on my approach to the small 17th green.
Strong 18th finishing hole where I ran down the hill to pick up my ball or my birdie.
Great course, strong planting, excessive (but fun) elevation changes and small greens create a great experience.
Holes 1-14.5
