LINKS CORNER REVIEW |
Reviewed by Joe Turner `Loner'
January 2002
This course has some great sounds but with how poorly the course plays the sounds can get on your nerves in a short time. The tee box, fairways, and greens didn't look to bad together but the rough was a little to bright for me. The trees without an undergrowth looked 'pasted on', and the brilliantly colored flowers at each tee was over kill both to the player and the greens keeper. The hole shapes were well, let's call this a fantasy course, yes this is definitely a fantasy course as the screen shots will show. This is also his first course design and hopefully not his last. He has talent in the use of the APCD and should have looked for some help not only by beta testers but designers also. His lack of the now simplicities, cameo, splash, custom flag show that. Back to the hole shapes, I am not going to tell you about how the different holes played I'll let the screen shots do that. You need draws, fades and adjustments in trajectory everything in the book just to try to play this course, but it can be played.
On #3 hole par three, the flag is 15ft from the front fringe, not too unreasonable but the fringe is barely past he water hazard so you have to overshoot not to land in the drink. On #5 hole tees are blocking the green and the flag is just on the other side of these tall trees, overshoot again. On #13 hole my cup was on the side of a hill and the ball would roll down if you didn't put short for a gimmie. It is a very small download and its not a bad looking course at all but it's a course you will never keep and not a course that I would advise you to play unless you are a diehard fantasy course fan. I hope he tries a fictional course next time and also seeks help from others in both the Design and Beta testing Corners.
