LINKS CORNER REVIEW

Reviewed by Joe Turner (loner)

Eye candy best describes this huge course that is only 6623y long. The tees, greens, textured fairways and attractive rough lay a foundation for this beautiful course. The varied undergrowth and use of color add significantly to the unique nature created here. His use of planted areas with boulders creates small rock gardens for your added enjoyment. Truly a standout in beauty.

With all the imagination put into creating all of this beauty it doesn't, unfortunately, make a course into a challenging golf game.

The bunkers aren't placed effectively and vary between white and brown sand. I prefer the brown, as it seems to fit in with the rest of the custom décor.

The large numbers of trees on this course seem to be an occasional rather than a consistent impediment.

The fairways, while not appearing wide in the top view, were very 'hittable'.

The putting varied from easy to moderate depending on the green. Your final putting score should be more than acceptable.

With all the different hazards on this course; trees, bunkers, water, rocks, etc., why weren't they more carefully placed for a more exciting game?

The elevations and the caddies seemed to be accurate, but be certain you allow for the raised greens or you are going to continually end up with chip shots instead of putts.

Hole 15, par 4, 404y, at about 274y, a creek crosses the fairway forcing you to lay-up with a 3w. A driver would definitely take you into the water. After that you come to an elevated green guarded by three bunkers. a good 6 iron will clear these bunkers giving you a par or possibly a birdie. Watch your club choice being mindful of the elevated green.

Hole 16. par 5, 616y, when you drive on this hole make sure you keep to the right of the fairway or you will run the danger of having to clear some very tall trees with your second shot which will put you in front of a water hazard for your approach shot to the flag.

Hole 17, par 4, 304y, a seemingly well guarded green is very accessible with a well hit driver. A carefully hit pw should put you into position for at least a par on this sloped green.

Hole 18, par, 3, 233y, with an awkward distance like this I found that a flop 3w was my best choice even though I landed long on the green I was able to salvage a par.

As I went farther and farther into this course I thought I wouldn't have one hole to write about when the course abruptly changed. It was though someone else designed the last four holes.

If the entire course had been similar to the last four, 'it could have been a contender'.

If you have broadband or are willing to wait for this to download via dialup, fine, otherwise I wouldn't recommend this course. Yes, it's beautiful as I said before, but there are many other more challenging courses out there. It is a very playable course but not a keeper for me.
