LINKS CORNER REVIEW |
Reviewed by Joe Turner (loner)
He started off with attractive rock trim around an island course and continued with nicely finished water hazards. His bunkers although never coming into play, are well made and fit in with the course colors.
The tees, roughs, and greens blend well together. The fairways, although a little light in color, were nicely textured, especially for a small download such as this. I felt the tree selection and placement was excellent for this course as well as the deep green mountain background. The use of color is a little heavy-handed but tolerable. Overall it was an attractive course but definitely a fantasy course.
The fairways, even though they looked narrow in the top view, were all very hittable. Once you reached the surface of the greens they became a boost for the old ego. birdies and eagles galore. They were quite easy, but to get there, you first need a well placed approach shot. Since the majority of the greens were turtle backed I would suggest that you don't hit long or short or you will have a considerable putt or chip from the fringe.
The elevations were varied, interesting, and accurate, as was the caddie.
Hole 3, par 4, 352y, on this dogleg to the left I was able to cut across the low tree line to within 50 yards of the green and an easy approach to the flag. A perfect birdie opportunity.
Hole 11, par 5, 532y, he has an interesting water hazard across the fairway that forces you to lay-up with a 3w. Your second shot should give you an easy pw to the flag. The initial impression from the tee and in the top view makes you feel that a birdie is very possible on this hole.very deceptive.
Hole 18, par 3, 105y, this hole replete with it's 19th century clubhouse flying the confederate flag is an attractive gimmie or birdie hole if you judge the 'drop' with an adjustment in trajectory. Since I review without wind, I went back in practice to replay this hole just to see if the clubhouse flag moved in full wind. it didn't. I was disappointed and therefore need to ask--- is it a design flaw or me, (can't be me).
This is hardly a difficult course to play, and it is very playable. Unfortunately the majority of holes are lacking in imagination, So there is very little challenge. Yes, it is a good-looking course and a small download, but it is just another nice course. If you like to have a variety of small, well made courses on your hard drive, then it definitely is for you, but I would recommend it only for that reason.
