LINKS CORNER REVIEW |
Reviewed by Joe Turner (loner)
Tees, fairways, rough, and greens are blended nicely. Well arranged undergrowth and muted colors make this an attractive woodland course in spite of the ever-present mountain in the background. Pleasant rock treatments around some of the few water hazards add to the ambiance.
If you are careful not to get too ambitious on this comparatively short course, you should be able to stay on the very narrow fairways.
As for putting, he tells you in the well done hole previews that the greens are both sloped and tiered. I found them to be raised at the front so that if you fell short in your approach shot and hit the front of the green, you don't roll back, you bounce back.
After you are on the greens you will find them both sloped and undulating. If you have a long putt it will be an interesting and possible frustrating experience. A putt within 10 feet should be quite straight and flat.
With very few fairway bunkers at the landing points, and few well-guarded greens, I found the only difficult part to this course to be the narrow fairways. As I said before, if you are careful you can navigate them rather easily.
This is a relatively easy course using the conditions I indicated in the review, but if you want a challenge the fairways will be almost impossible under windy conditions, and creating fast greens will make them extremely difficult.
Frankly for the size of the download I think you can do better unless you enjoy enhancing the conditions.
For example, if you leave the fairways with no wind and change the green conditions, you may enjoy this course much more.
4th hole, par 4, 398y, on this hole you can cut across the short trees to the left for a long 290y+ 1st shot. From there it's on to an unprotected, but sloped green.
7th hole, par 4, 342y, I cut across here as well and it gave me a 48y lw to the flag. When you cut across don't go to far to the right because the trees are too tall to be cleared.
9th hole, par 5, 581y, first guess which is the flag you're shooting for. After you figure that out you will find that you can clear the short trees quite easily for a long first shot. The second shot, besides being long, is uphill so you are still left with an approach to the pin. A lw should take you well within birdie range.
