If by challenge you mean it makes you want to put your fist through your monitor..then yes..it challenges you Call me crazy but I like this course, yes it's hard but I don't want to be given anything. A challenge is good here and there, I don't think having a course of this quality every week would suffice, but overall it's a good layout. Knowing one's yardages comes in handy here. The problem I have with fantasy courses is they don't really emulate real golf courses. They look far too fictional. I'm not slamming the designer, it's one hell of a design and the designer is very talented..it just didn't give me the true golf feeling on this course as opposed to others I've played. Unfortunately I never really got into it while playing this tournament and that falls solely on me

Even though I am to late to enter this event.. Can I go play the tourney the way it is set up to see how I do against what the field does ? Would love to see how far down I would be on the leaderboard.. hehe Go for it......also if you want email commish@tgctours.com. They can register you for the tournament this week. You were correct my friend.. They hooked me up and entered me pronto.. My hats off to you and TGC Tours..

Well, you are going to love Loa Pali. No fantasy, just outstanding ocean vistas. Amazing.

First round complete.. Shot a 78 which was great for me considering I hit 3 balls OB Course is tough.. The ghost balls I played with shot -8, -8, -7 which was fun to see.. Glad my first round is behind me.. Need to learn to keep the ball straight.. Hooking/Cutting on this course = out of bounds..

That was brutal but fun.. Scores got worse each round.. Hope I can improve some.. Just got the game a week ago but dang.. The out of bounds on this course ate me up big time.. I think I would rather be banging timber around and chipping out of the woods then hitting 3 off the tee.. Looking forward to next tourney.. Thanks for the help all..

Unfortunately I never really got into it while playing this tournament and that falls solely on me Agree 100% would rather play a real styled course than this clearly fantasy one with ob in so many daft places Hitting a tee shot over a mountain etc and ravines in the middle of a hole that drops 100ft fences across the fairway so even if you are short you can still hit them In one case I think the ob line actually cuts across the fairway on the right so a shot on the fairway could leave you ob These basically restrict your play limiting what you can do there is limited shot selection My first round was plus4 but after getting an ob after hitting a drive down the middle what's the point I tried to come up short... Well it's frustrating and basically not enjoyable I don't play this game to hate it... I would wd if I was the sort of person to do that Can't wait to finish the tournament I turned my pc off in disgust after the ob in the middle of the round as I was not in the right mental state to play well I am not a good player and you have to play the course but I basically hit a good shot and got penalised and I'm not blaming the course should have taken less club etc but I have not enjoyed it so far

Well, you are going to love Loa Pali. No fantasy, just outstanding ocean vistas. Amazing. I've already played a few practice rounds. True golf experience. Love the course. Now if I could only putt.

Practice round was a steady 71. My first two rounds in tourney are both 77. That's completely because of Hole 15, which has my number, and bad putting in round 2. Couple of OBs will ruin you quickly.

Why was this course chosen for tournament play, its obviously broken, i'm playing 4th round now, every shot under 100 %. course has terrible framerate, there is no way to enjoy playing this course. Please no more fantasy courses.

Please no more fantasy courses. I play this game to somewhat relax, this course does the exact opposite. If I wanted tee shots with 200 ft drops I'd hit shag balls off of apartment buildings.

Please no more fantasy courses. I believe there was a PS4 update today that is causing shots to be below 100%.. Hopefully they will fix soon..

I personally liked this course selection. Its much nicer seeing the top scores (in my division) being lower and not having to shoot in the 50s 4 times to win.

Absolutely, I'm on ps4 and am hitting 95, 91, 89 and RARELY 100%. This sucks, as it's my first tourney and I am sure to get a strike. Oh well. On a side note, wtf is up with the OB areas on this course? Totally playable areas and I'm getting OB. Like 2 feet from the fairway. The course looks great and all, but jesus yeti. You need to redefine the ob areas.

The ps4 update has absolutely thrown my 2nd round off the rails. After shooting 67 in my first round, I'll be lucky to break 90 this round. Awful update. Hopefully it is fixed soon
