Concept  9/10
Trophy Club is set among wide, flat prairie land, sparsely planted and worn. Sounds dull, you think? Not in the slightest. The course has been magnificently created to negate the dull landscape, featuring a surprisingly diverse and accessible range of holes. Clever use of texture properties helps the course play all the more realistically, and the result is a pleasingly surprising and stimulating round of golf.
Appearance  9/10
Bunker sculpture takes all the prizes here. The dirty sand texture adds to the brilliant down-at-heel realness around the greens. Sadly the natural landscape is the enemy elsewhere, and texture repetition and squares take the edge off what could otherwise be very fine. There is the added bonus of some very natural contouring as and when required.
Playability  9/10
A smashing round of golf and with very few of the pretensions that mark other courses. There are some wonderful tests of bravery and creativity and the holes make full and ingenious use of the natural features. The variety is amazing for a course that might have been so dull.
Challenge  2/10
Oh. Finally we find the shortcomings of a largely flat course. Bogeys are pretty tough to come by, and certainly the Par 5s are particularly generous. Flattish greens make long putts conceivable, and a round close to the mid-60s is a likelihood rather than a dream. Even by the standards of easy courses, this is easy.
Technical  9/10
With the utmost in bunker technique, and some brilliant recreational techniques, Bob Hankla is right up there with the best. It's such a pity that the texture mapping repeats are so obvious, otherwise this would be a shoe-in for full marks.
Overall Flat doesn't always mean bad. A courageous and exciting course despite the lack of elevations. 38/50
