CLIPNOTES by Ben Bateson (ousgg)

Description
Fictional, links course
Location
Very much the right feel for a Scottish links.
Conditions
F*/F* is playable, although links golf probably demands closer to M*/M*. Windy conditions are highly advisable.
Concept  7/10
Morar aims at an authentic slice of village links golf and combines some sandy coastal holes sprinkled in between classic old-fashioned fairways and greens. The wild, semi-deserted feel is shared only by classic creations such as Slainte Mhath and Portmarnock but, unlike those two, there are times when the whole thing veers off into over-ambitiousness and unrealism. The closing hole is pretty fine, though.
Appearance  8/10
The environment is second to none and the links land looks devastatingly good on the large scale, tightly planted and beautifully coloured. It\'s complemented by a perfect village panorama, and the sand - bunker and seaside is a particular highlight. Morar runs into a few problems with matching the sea to the background, and a bit of tiling and cloned grass, but generally it\'s fine viewing.
Playability  8/10
It's a mark of the designer's skill with golf that I was enrapt despite a little sound lag and a lot of blind shots and guessing which are something of a downer. It's difficult to be convincingly won over by the beach holes which are far too \'big stadium\' for a course like this. Still, the range of holes renders Morar something of a delight regardless
Challenge  6/10
Like all good links courses, much will depend on to what extent you play typically links conditions. With benevolent settings, you'll find it easy to saunter round in the low 60s; but a good dose of gusty wind is a different proposition altogether. Having said that, both the fairways and rough are somewhat generous, so even if it's blowy, good recoveries will be the order of the day.
Technical  8/10
McCoist\'s design credentials aren\'t at all in doubt, but Morar is somewhat inconsistent where realism is concerned. There is very little wrong with the photo-realism aspects, but the course design isn\'t bang on the nail for me.
Overall A links which manages to be both traditional and exciting; both realistic and surreal. 37/50
