| COURSE NOTES |
Here is an update to Dwan Golf Course.
List of updates.
1. Some of the textures have been changed,to those more commonly used, which makes the grass colors look more natural and have also added Deep Rough for the most errant shots.
2. Hole previews have been created for those players that like to reference them.
3. The hole path on the second hole was adjusted to fix an issue that computer players were having.
4. Yardage plates were added to the fairways.
5. Some alterations to the club house were made to make it more accurate and more 3D objects have been added.
5. The greatest change has been the removal of 2D objects such as ball washers and trash cans, which have been replaced with 3D objects.

Concept 4/10
Dwan is very much somebody's local course, and happily makes no pretensions of it. The fairways are narrow, the rough is deep, but everything else is laid before you with a refreshing 'take it or leave it' flavour. It's certainly not long or designed with much cunning, and makes for an inoffensive but unmemorable round of golf. |
Appearance 6/10
There's been much done to improve and fine-tune the presentation of their course. It's been given a better sense of location from the buildings planted around the course, and the textures have been newly blended. But I don't care for the bright green course colours, and the lack of underplanting betrays the supposed homely origins of the course. |
Playability 7/10
There are much worse things than a swift round around Dwan. Players will enjoy trying to hit the many nearly-reachable greens, even though the hole lengths don't really vary enough. It's possible to nail some satisfyingly close approaches, and yet there's still call to play a variety of greenside shots, thanks to the layout of the planting and bunkers. Definitely the course's strong point. |
Challenge 2/10
Dwan has been toughened up a little over its many incarnations, but still remains rather too easy. This is probably because it measures only a tad over 6000 yards, but scores of anything up to 10-under are realistic, even commonplace. Perhaps this course would be best for those who wish, or need, to work on their recovery game. |
Technical 6/10
A better set of textures is definitely called for, and perhaps a little more gradienting and widening of the fairways. But the planting has been improved and de-cloned to some extent; all that remains would be to see if the course can be made a reasonable challenge. |
| Overall |
A good, if under-stimulating, game of golf. Possibly best for a competition with 'first-on-the-green' rewards. |
25/50 |
