Description
Real, heathland course |
Location
Nottinghamshire |
Conditions
I would advise against F*/F* in favour of something slightly slower. |
Concept 6/10
There's not a lot here that stands out from the ordinary, but there's also still a very curious English appeal about Worksop Gorselands,
which is partly the result of extensive care and attention from the designer, and partly due to the customisation and homeliness of this
short course. There is little in terms of stand-out hole design, but there is oodles and oodles of atmosphere, which is more than enough
reason to keep playing this one. |
Appearance 9/10
The HD makeover brings a perfect yellowing set of textures to what was already a very fine course. The planting is mixed up superbly and
clones are almost impossible to spot. The little things, like the fences and clubhouse are all very conducive to Worksop's involving
atmosphere; my only concern is that the panorama seems to have been set a little too high, and towers over the plot at points. |
Playability 8/10
I enjoyed Worksop hugely, and I'd expect many others to do the same. There's a premium on accuracy and sensible course
management, but there are also some delightfully tiny Par 5s and opportunities to attack the pins. In fact, there are very few angles on
this course that won't leave you a decent line into the green which is fun, if hardly a great challenge. |
Challenge 2/10
…and speaking of the challenge, well there's not very much to be fair. Plenty of Eagle chances and tap-in birdies to be had, as well as
a lack of deep rough, water and general obstruction. There are merits in the well-placed bunkers, and some rather tough putts, but that
really isn't enough to deter anyone from shooting a low, low score. |
Technical 9/10
ere's very little left to correct now that the textures have been overhauled and the few remaining extrusion marks removed. It would
still be nice to see the customisation extended to the tee markers and flags, which now stand out a little, and the panorama could do
with being somewhat less intrusive, but this is a great culmination of the work on a first course. |
| Overall |
Very English and very atmospheric. Also very easy. |
