COURSE NOTES |
A bit of fun created whilst upgrading the old course. It is not to be taken seriously but should hopefully give you hours of frustration at the faster mod speeds, as you practice you chipping and putting on the World Famous St Andrews Ladies Putting course. The Himalayas Putting green.
Note
This was done at and early stage of the St Andrews upgrade so there is no surrounding scenery apart from some grass and whins round the putting course. |

Description Real, short course |
Location TBA |
Conditions TBA |
Concept 5/10 The hilliest, nastiest practice green in existence! Certainly the way to
sharpen up before taking on the real St Andrews, although its playability
on the faster settings is debatable. Shorter than the other putting courses
on the market, and more a bit of fun that anything else; it's still nice to
have another short course for the files. |
Appearance 6/10 With the lush surroundings of St Andrews giving plenty of background, there's a surprising amount of visuals on The Himalayas.
Various course monuments stand out, and the gorse surrounding the green is fine. The contrast shift from tee to green could be more
gentle in this case. |
Playability 5/10 Putting courses need to work hard to maintain a rather limited appeal through eighteen holes. And that's a fact rather working against
The Himalayas. There's just not the variety in doglegs or shaped-putts that can be found on other courses of this type, although there
is some limited appeal in trying a chipper from the tee. The elevations are everything they promise to be. |
Challenge 7/10 You're over-whelmingly dependent on the green speed here. Played as a set of Par 3 holes, you could comfortably break par on slow
settings and go somewhere up to 30-over on the fast ones. As such, it's a difficult parameter to judge, but suffice to say you won't be
taking on anything unexpected, which I suppose is all you can ask. |
Technical 4/10 As something of an afterthought, the visual work stands up well enough, but I'm very disappointed that the holes have not been rerouted,
and the consequent presentation let-down. |
Overall |
Putting. So simple, and yet so complicated. |
27/50 |
