| COURSE NOTES |
Awaba Forest is a fictional course based on a beautiful piece of land not too far from my home town of Cardiff South (Newcastle Australia).
The course winds its way around a fire trail in fairly flat ground with a few small hills and mounds. The course textures are suppose to represent the dryness of the major drought that is effecting most of our big brown land.
Please enjoy a nice peaceful round at AWABA FOREST. |

Concept 7/10
Awaba Forest is real; the golf course is emphatically not. Amidst a delicate juxtaposition of trees, 18 fairways wend a treacherous path. The whole forest is drought-stricken and quite fragile for it. Never straightforward; always surprising, Awaba Forest, then, is most definitely is a bolt from the blue from a semi-inexperienced designer. The enclosed woods and lack of civilisation mean that you are playing in relative isolation, though: the most common thought going through the golfer's mind is that they are getting inexorably lost. 7/10 |
Appearance 9/10
After some of the flaws that marked Jason's previous course, a fantastic attempt has been made to craft a delicate landscape, replete with beautifully soft blends and a massive variety of customisation in the woodlands. It looks fine, although close-to some of the trees are a little pixelated and delimited. |
Playability 8/10
Despite some unfortunate flaws, this course plays remarkably well. There's plenty of ingenuity and forethought required, although the lack of vision or ambient sound is alienating at many stations. Even when your game gets bogged down, it's not too frustrating thanks to the visual candy on offer. |
Challenge 6/10
The proximity of the forests is difficult for your game, and because of the large amounts of customisation, there are a lot of rebounds from thick tree trunks. But the rough is gentle, and the greens passable. As long as you don't get lost in the trees, there's every chance of a decent score. This does rather depend on the wind conditions and your swing type, and not the course, though. |
Technical 8/10
The vast amount of customisation cannot be sniffed at, and the delicate, slightly supernatural construction of the course is novel and impressive. All this needs is perhaps a little work on the environment and some slightly less intrusive forests. Even by forest course standards, this is just too enclosed. |
| Overall |
Worth a round for the look of the course alone. Something a little different, and entertaining to boot. |
38/50 |
