Wow what a course of the three I have played this takes the cake for me gorgeous course absolutely playable even for a rookie like me I had a fabulous time very well designed and planned out rewards excellent shots and will punish bad ones. Carded a -8 so I'm happy with my round fantastic job one of the best courses I've played.

But I did not play the course in the best mood, just a bit in a rush, and that's not fair either.

Here I am scampi00 Played the course for the first time today and I really enjoyed it. Looks are stunning as always on your courses and every detail seems totally on point - I loved in particular those classy touches like the gardening works here and there, the cart paths, the little bridges and the 1st tee shot with the Clubhouse behind it and all that structured area. Brazilian flag and Olympic rings gives a super nice touch too (I'm all in for those tiny details). On top of that, the shared green between H#1 and H#18 is very very nice. The course plays very nice and smoothly too but I must admit, after Grey Raven, I was expecting a bit of a tougher "mental" challenge - let me be clear: the course has a ton of potential to be suited for every tier, mostly thanks to the large greens; what I think it has less are those shots that force you to think twice, those tricky tempting spots that lure you into some risky shots leaving you on the edge of your seat till the ball is seated on the ground So, even if I didn't honored your beautiful course with a great round, I found myself roaming the course "pretty easily" in moderate winds. This however doesn't diminish a bit the fantastic work you've done and the great experience that is playing this beauty Costa De La Reina is on my fav list with a 10/10 no questioning Onto some numbers and footage right now

Andrea Thanks for the kind words! I had a lot of fun making this one and it turned out great. With a few rounds having been played so far, the scores are coming back a little lower than I had hoped. I always give myself a challenge when starting a new course and for this one it was to make a course difficult without using firm greens. I think I missed that mark, but that's okay . Instead I have a very accessible course. I tried to give it a wide open feel and none of the holes bring water or a tree line into play and I think that really narrowed some "choice" creativity to work with. You're absolutely correct, this course plays much more straight forward. I think I'm going to have to recycle some of my previous hole designs for the next course. Your review made my night, Thank you! It's nice to know that some of the extra stuff around the track gets noticed. Makes the hours put in worth it. Terry Grayson Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed your round. If I'm being unbiased, I think you've got me beat though. We will let those judges decide.

I played this one the other night.. Great course.. Loved the bigger than average greens.. Loved what you did with the 1st and 10th tee box.. Big fairways.. The course seems easy but I did not shoot well on it.. Just 5 under.. Had puts burning the edge.. I also loved the rocky water look.. Very pretty course.. Nice job..

Hey Seth, I replayed the course. It's a very good one. It took me a few holes to get used to the greens, but that's not something to blame the course for. It plays challenging without being tricky (right now the lowest score in my friend's list is -8).
Very nice job

Hi Scampi- nice course and I made a video of my playthough on it (plus 2.5 others) last night. I posted it in another thread here. Yours was 2nd up, so probably 30mins in.
