Just a few miles down the river from the famed Leopard Creek Country in South Africa, a new course has just opened its doors - Leopard Creek East. Inspired by the course which plays host to the Alfred Dunhill Championship each year, Leopard Creek East hopes to equally awe and challenge golfers. The 2nd green gives the player their first glimpse of the Kruger National Park and Crocodile River which separates the course from the park, before looping back inland towards the clubhouse by the 9th green. The most memorable part of the course begins at the par 3 14th with its stunning views over the National Park. This is followed by the driveable par 4 15th with its green perched precariously on the banks of the river, and the par 5 16th where a drive must be as close as possible to the river to get the best angle into the green. CC design elements are: 1. Par 5 under 550 yards: 2nd hole 2. Drivable Par 4: 15th hole 3. Course with less than 32ft of elevation change.

kennyd2411 , came across this last night and thought it might a CC entrant. Enjoyed my round. Enjoyed the golf and the environment, esp. holes close to the waterways. One small critique I thought there may have been a few too many holes with the cross bunkering in fairways. Only minor and I hope you do well in the contest. Best of luck!

Totally agree with there being a few too many cross bunkers. Felt the same way during play testing, but unfortunately I had to get it published this week. So I decided I could live with it.

Really enjoyed this plot, loved the vibe of the course and had a blast tearing up the front nine before being humbled around the back! I think I explored some areas of the course that few others will, hit some great shots and some real stinkers. Unfortunately I had some problems with recording this video, hopefully I did an acceptable job of covering them up in editing but I'm no video editor.
Thanks for the course, best of luck in the contest! I honestly had to really stretch to find anything at all to say that could be improved and I'm not sure I did a great job of conveying quite how good I think this course is.

Thanks for the playthrough, I wouldn't have known you had any issues with the recording. Glad you enjoyed the course and the environment! I was particularly pleased with how the environment turned out on this one, I think I managed to captured the look I was going for😀
