This is the reload of the course file Golf Club Enzesfeld MOD.CRZ
The initial course-file was modified as the slopes of some greens (particularly #7, #8 and #14) have been flattened slightly to make them better playable in the MODified version 1.6 of Links2003 while leaving the optical look and feel intact.
Please note, however, that this course is best played with greens set to Moderate/Moderate or slower!
Settings faster than that could not be realistically found on the real course and would be very hard to play in the MODified version 1.6 of Links2003!
Looking forward to any comments and suggestions,
have fun and enjoy playing

Concept 8/10
Wow! Over-exaggerated though they almost certainly are in this conversion, Enzesfeld relies heavily on massive elevations and spectacular Alpine scenery for its livelihood. It's a cracking good shake up of unorthodox course design and compulsive gung-ho golf which more than makes up for the shortfalls of the design. A shame about the wimpy closing hole - surely we deserved a better finish than this? |
Appearance 5/10
An incredible mash-up of textures, both good and bad, marks the layout from the start. You can't deny that this course is decidedly different, in its slightly surreal style, from anything else to look at. Surreal, in this case, doesn't always mean good. The elevations are decidedly lumpy, and the forests are full of obvious clones. You just can't believe in the whole thing. |
Playability 8/10
There's no messing about here. You'll be smashing balls down the accommodating fairways all day, helped by the favourable elevation changes and the hole previews with a personal touch. The skill factor is fairly minimal, to be honest, but that won't stop you belting round this absorbing layout. |
Challenge 4/10
Some seriously unplayable greens have attracted the main complaints, and it's sadly far too easy for them to spoil a round. Elsewhere, there's some impenetrable woodlands, along the lines of Pine Forest Hills, but also some easily reachable greens, which just doesn't add up, given the elevations on the course. |
Technical 3/10
Despite this being a first release, there's just too much at fault here. The poor elevation work impacts directly on the play; the lack of texture choice looks garish and bizarre; the planting is heavy-handed; I could go on. Subtlety has not come within a Woods drive of this design, and the course is all the worse for it. |
| Overall |
Despite some technical ineptitude, this is not such a bad course. There's certainly a lot of fun to be had with the layout and crazy, exaggerated use of elevations. |
28/50 |
