| COURSE NOTES |
Bakers Flat is a fictional course set in a mountain valley in early Autumn. The course as of yet has no read me file, course picture,or screen shots. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jeff.
2. Beta: This course update replaces the older version. Hopefully I have the sparkling rough corrected. Jeff. |

Concept 5/10
It's beyond me why anyone would go to the trouble of naming and creating
a 'flat' course if they are going to attach it to the ubiquitous Whistler
panorama. This oddity, and the strange scattering of tiny hole-in-theground
bunkers aside, there is a fairly coherent little run in the forest here,
held together by an astute use of bunkers and trees as hazards. There's
little by the way of standout holes, though: Baker's Flat is just a little too
forgettable. |
Appearance 5/10
Planting is very much the strength here; the grasses and flowers are more than competent and really add tone to the course. Sadly, it's
hard to say the same about the textures, which are a poor and unblended mismatch. A host of 2D pagodas make an appearance and
the net upshot is the impression that the stock library has been given a good going-over. |
Playability 4/10
It's difficult to get really enthused about this course. There's little to aim for, and not much else to avoid; consequently it's too easy for
attentions to wander. Admittedly, each hole has been designed with care and challenge in mind, but it requires a couple of rounds for
that to really come out in the play, and many players may well lack the stamina. |
Challenge 7/10
Defiantly difficult greens will trip you up and cost you most of your strokes, especially given that there's little else to fear in the green
complexes. The wooded areas are very tough; even though they require a fairly severe mishit to ensnare a ball, they won't give it up
easily. There's a stretch on the back nine where a few birdies can be picked up, but it will take a lucky stroke or two to be breaking Par
on a regular basis. |
Technical 3/10
Definitely more needed on the texture work, and the plot is dispiritingly flat, with no excuse from the course's title! There are a number
of steel trees which required attention, and flaws like this which have an impact on the game are sadly the worst. |
| Overall |
Too dry and too reliant on stock images. Some interesting ideas get lost in the lack of polish. |
24/50 |
