The Harlequin at Jester's Lake:
Theme: Rustic. Atmospheric Conditions: Early Spring, late morning, sunny (minimal cloud cover). Holes: 18. Length; 7166 yards. Par: 72 (5 x par 3, 8 x par 4, 5 x par 5). Fairways firmness: Medium to firm. Greens firmness: Medium. Greens speed: Medium fast. Cart Hire: Yes. Ladies Tees: Yes. Junior Tees: Yes. Nestled on the banks of the picturesque and aptly named Jester's Lake; The Harlequin Club plays host to a pristine & immaculately kept 18 hole golf course which meanders through the natural terrain of the surrounding English countryside. Measuring just short of 7,200 yards the trail offers players of all skill levels many risk and reward opportunities with some clever hazards and routing to negotiate before wrestling with the various degrees of difficulty on the greens. Flyover Showcase video: Selected pics that don't do it justice..... See all the Holes in the Youtube video link above: Special thanks to my good friend from down under Stephen McIntyre, who plays under the name of Pingzing2, for his input & testing prior to publishing. On a personal note I consider this to be my best work so far and would love to hear what you guys think – as usual all feedback & constructive criticism is much appreciated. Cheers, SAM

Enjoyed the vid, I smiled on the 9th and the 18th There's something reassuring about combining harps and golf, it was like returning to the womb. Ahem. Will give this a play later today - looks very nice.

Scored it a 9 when I played it yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed my round at your course. Beautiful to look at and plays exceptionally too. Expect to see it on tour sometime soon. I'll also be back for another round.

Hey Simon, I hadn't had the chance to play this beauty yet. I really enjoyed my round, this course makes you think every shot, and despite the fact the score can go real low, you must be careful. There are hazards very well placed.
Great Job
