| COURSE NOTES |
| This is my first course to be released. This 9 hole Par 3 course course is set in the woods and around a lake. It's a little rough around the edges in terms of visuals but I'm very proud of the playability of this course. This is a fun course that I hope many will enjoy. |

Concept 6/10
Cute simplicity is the watchword here. Little Gardens is an engaging little
pitch'n'putt course which engages the player effectively without resorting
to gimmicks. There is, from time to time, the hint of the plot being a
designer's scratchpad, with a little bit of everything being tried out and little
to excess. But there's a strong golfing strategy set, and all the elements of
a good view running through the course, and we've seen a helluva lot
worse than that. |
Appearance 5/10
Surprisingly attractive, given that there's not a lot to see. The designer has clearly employed photo-like techniques in laying out holes
to best effect, because on close up the textures aren't very special, the planting is weak and thin, and at least one bunker has caused
quite a few mesh problems. |
Playability 8/10
This is probably the perfect warm-up course. It's accommodating to the essential facets of your game without being excessive or
overbearing, and there are a range of approaches and greens even, given the Par 3 format. Extremely replayable and a lack of
imposition to boot, this makes a thoroughly good warm-up round before getting into the heavy stuff. |
Challenge 3/10
Nothing too dire, here. Pleasantly comfortable greens and pin positions, and drives virtually guaranteed to make their mark mean
birdies are commonplace and bogies a relative rarity. |
Technical 5/10
When placed in line with its importance, Little Gardens has a fitting enough level of design. There are passable, if hardly outstanding,
attempts at blending and 3D construction, and the hint that the designer is promising much more in the future. Little Gardens won't
make earthquakes, but there has been a very minor ripple in the community that it might just lead to something much bigger and
better. |
| Overall |
A great starter, both for you and the designer. Certainly not averse to being played
with regularity. |
27/50 |
