I have aske Andy to upload the beat version of Wynyard Woods.
Wynyard Woods is a fictional course with the black tees stretching 7311 yards.
The hole handicaps have been decided by the result of three computer players competing 18 holes. If anyone has an interest in making a more scientific handicap rating I will amend the ratings for the final version. The hole previews will be added for the final issue.
I hope you enjoy playing this APCD rendition of the course.
Please add all comments to this post and thank you for your time.
I'm a relative newcomer to Links 2003, having joined this past summer, and have been enjoying all that the game offers, including a lot of great courses. I recognize your name as one of the most prominent course designers in the Links community. This latest, Wynyard Woods, looks great. Thanks for all your efforts.
I gather that the course database isn't accessible right now on the usual site. Is there an alternate place to download courses? When I click on Courses on the Links Corner Forum page, I get an error message saying I don't have permission to access the site.
Played the course once so far, This is on Linux and it played well, the real test these days seems to be on my Windows Notebook, my observations on this one round:
The course strikes me as one that you could find in real life so very realistic
It is not a course to play driver at every long hole, it requires thought on club selection off the tee
One tee encouraged me to play a little draw shot, worked well, although you can play a standard shot too so there were choices.
There is a premium put on Club selection and distance control.
The course can demand good shot placement for the best results
It is the sort of course you need to play multiple rounds on to determine the best strategy and course management
A lot of thought has gone into the course and it shows, it looks good and in my round I did not see any problems.
I'll have a look later today on my "problem" machine.
