Concept 3/10
It'd be easy not to bother with this course if it weren't for the affectionate gimmick of cramming it with wildlife. It's a gimmick I approve of, always in search of something a little different, but it's also not played out as well as it could be. If you're going to turn a golf course into a nature trail, why not really go to town with customisation and ideas, rather than restrict yourself to the stock library? As for the golfing qualities: well, they're better not dwelt upon. |
Appearance 1/10
It's shocking how bad much of the mesh work is here, and it should have been clear to the designer that the course wasn't fit for release. Add that to the stock textures and yet another appearance by an old-favourite panorama, and there's little to love. Unexpectedly, you do sometimes stumble across a nice touch with the planting or course objects that brighten the course above completely awful. |
Playability 0/10
You'd be better off just wandering around looking at the nice animals than attempting any golf on this track. The obstructions to making a good fist of this are legion - from mesh faults to trees that obscure your view, to silly hole design and wanton use of water. It's amazing how long it feels to get round. |
Challenge 1/10
Boundary Waters has an almost entirely artificial difficulty gradient created by much hazarding and planting and almost unplayable greens. Any birdies would be cause for celebration and no little luck. |
Technical 0/10
While the ideas and occasional bit of planting deserve credit, the surface work is so desperately inept that it removes any credibility the designer might have earned |
| Overall |
An idea that I like and would have promise if attempted seriously. Otherwise, a no-go zone. |
