LINKS CORNER REVIEW |
This course has been discontinued.
Reviewed by Chris Gormley
Initial Impressions: This is a pretty basic course. It almost looks unfinished in a lot of spots. There are a lot of verts that are out of place thus causing many shadows and ripples to appear in the terrain. The bunkers are not even really bunkers just sand on the grass. Not sunken any at all. Does not seem to require a player to think much either as I cannot even remember one shot that took any skill other than hit the snap.
Greens: The greens are large and flat for the most part. Greens 1 and 2 are contoured but everything after that is flat as a pancake. Most are the default shapes and require very little skill to put the ball in the hole.
Fairways: Most fairways are large and flat. #5 I the only one that seems to have been altered in anyway from the default shape in the APCD, and this one was so narrowed I doubt a player could keep the ball in play in anything other than No Wind conditions. No risk/reward designed into these fairways. Just grip and rip the ball.
Tee Boxes: There are 3 tee places placed, but only 1 used. Makes me really think this course is unfinished.
Bunkers and Water Hazards: As I mentioned above the bunkers are not sunken at all therefore I cannot really call them bunkers. No hazards come into play on this course, not even if you make a bad shot.
Planting: The designer planted trees and some buildings and little else. There are even some boulders that float in the distance L The way things are planted makes me think that its only purpose is to cover up the fact that there is no pano used.
Fairness: This course is way to easy, besides being undone. Everything is flat except what is out of play. I putted 18 times total for the last round I played and those that know my game would never believe me if I told them I putted 18 times for a round. This would be a great course to practice a persons snap on.
Best Hole: None. All were generic with little to keep a players attention.
Overall: Baxtor Works is definitely a course that is not even close to being finished. There is not to much to say other than that. The course has tees, fairways, greens, bunkers (sort of), and trees and not much else. I would not recommend this course to anyone in its present state. Sorry for a review that is so negative but courses like this makes it very hard to write something nice as there is so little of it in the course.
