Concept 3/10
A lost and lonely mesh of ideas, Tournament Terror's biggest problem is
the lack of continuity. It takes in a bizarre assortment of styles, and the
designer's imagination clearly starts to wilt towards the close. Hole design
drifts towards the silly in places, and the designer clearly has had trouble
trying to pin down some convincing middle ground. |
Appearance 5/10
Planting is decent on the whole, although a few clones are apparent. The shapes are well handled and the textures, thanks to APCD
1.5, look good. Two main flaws, though, are the elevations and the panorama. The elevations have been exceedingly crudely handled
upon occasion and really spoil both the look and the playability of the course, whereas the panorama - while luxuriously constructed -
is at an overly elevated angle and makes one a bit queasy from some angles. |
Playability 5/10
Despite the silly name, Tournament Terrors is surprisingly engaging at points. Target golf is largely the name of the game and
strategical options are unfortunately rare, but the combination of good views and an understanding of good golf shot appeal has more
or less carried this one through. |
Challenge 5/10
With some random hazarding and largely unprotected fairways, Tournament Terrors proves too easy in points. The green elevations
are thankfully out of fit with the remainder of the course and are accommodating to putts. Because of the flat fairways, most players will
think they can shoot in the mid-60s. This is if they can take on a few ridiculous carries: Pro-Swingers will find the course pretty unfair. |
Technical 4/10
The APCD has seen this course through a few hard spots, although the terrain work is urgently in need of some delicate attention.
Blends are more or less absent and a good Beta test would remove some clones in planting and approach the issue for low-level
planting elsewhere. The overall feeling is of rushed design, particularly given the underwhelming close. |
| Overall |
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Not enough special to be really outstanding,
too many errors to be really competent. |
22/50 |
