Concept 10/10
The Colonial is rather special, certainly in comparison to other championship courses. It's very cleverly designed to get the best from the player, and I guarantee you'll barely notice the tricky 70 Par or some of the morale-destroying trademark holes on the back nine. There's a very realistic aura about this creation, and some smashing customisation work from the designer which only adds to the course's appeal. You also shouldn't ignore the excellent Readme file. This course really is one to savour. |
Appearance 9/10
The highlights are the lovely brickwork and the clubhouse complex, as well as some luscious water features. The texture use has been improved, and the planting is perfectly judged. The blends are neat; perhaps a little too neat, and there's just a hint of extrusions from time to time. But the package as a whole really shines. |
Playability 9/10
Colonial is refreshingly short of gimmicks or long, arduous holes. Instead, it provides a firm, fair but direct challenge to a player's guile and golfing intelligence. There's call for all manner of tee shots, from fades and draws to lay-ups and big boomers, and some inviting greens without continual oppression of guard bunkers. All things considered, it's a great round of golf. |
Challenge 8/10
Be grateful that Colonial doesn't feature the player-stunning length or difficulty of the likes of Riviera or Olympia fields. There are few hidden traps, and the course relies on its not inconsiderable strategic challenge to push you into dropping shots. Don't expect birdies to come easy, but then again many holes shouldn't provide excessive punishment. A stern but ultimately interesting test. |
Technical 10/10
Colonial is a complete one-off - a course that has been immaculately researched and pieced together. The textures and layout are brilliantly thought through, and the planting and elevations show an experienced hand. Nice work indeed. |
| Overall |
Something much, much more special than the average tournament course. An equal split between stimulating golf and exciting APCD work. |
46/50 |
