Concept 4/10
Simplicity, thy name is Pacific Greens. A decent little amble around nine
short coast-side holes, the landscape is very simple seaside links. Some
might find a little too plain and simplistic, but the layout is authentic, there's
a suitable variety of hole lengths and even a nice 3D seaside-shelter at the
end. Nothing to set the world alight, but a decent warm-up. |
Appearance 4/10
There's not much to see, in truth, and the very few large trees that mark the landscape sit midway between convincing and comical. In
some ways, it's a brave move to rely on these washed-out textures and stark minimalism, and in some ways it works. You can't deny
that the course does look more than a little empty, though. |
Playability 5/10
Amiable enough for casual play, there's nothing truly memorable about Pacific Greens, but there's nothing dislikeable, either. Playing
with difficult wind conditions is a must, which is when this course will really start to reward accuracy. Some ambient sound in the form
of the ocean's roars helps a little. |
Challenge 3/10
The hazards are hidden well out of the way for the large part and will only punish the worst strokes. The greens are moderately
challenging, but a good uphill lie will solve many problems. The rough doesn't really come into play. You should expect a fair number
of 2s on the way around. |
Technical 4/10
There's a very 'plain' look to this course which makes it difficult to judge the technical merit. In setting out to achieve a barren seaside
links, Pacific Greens has partially succeeded, but there is - even then - something lacking in the featureless landscape and the
planting, and not very much to the hole design. |
| Overall |
Good enough for a warm-up course. |
20/50 |
