PROVIDENCE MOUNTAINS by Randy Muzny
-I loved the colour that Randy chose for the sand.
-On the par 3 4th, I don't think that the red water hazard stick
should be put in front of the flag as I hit that with my tee shot
and it cost me yards. I do like the idea of having the red sticks
however. It is a nice touch.
-Nice looking tee shot on 7.
-I didn't like some of the large hills in the sand. They didn't
come out that well.
-There were a few holes where the gold tee objects could be seen
when playing from the gold tees. So there were two sets of gold
tees seen.
-The dry river bed on 15 made for a very nice looking second shot.
-I liked the approach on 17.
-Randy did a very good job on making the course flow well with the
background. He did the best job of all the courses in this contest.
THE BARROWLANDS by Paul Warren/Ben Wicks
-I liked the story behind the course a lot.
-I thought that the second green was too wild. The back pin
position is almost impossible with the bunker and the steep drop
behind it.
-Great tee shot on number 5. That tree on the left look very good.
-Very scenic tee shot on 12.
-Water on the back improved the scenery.
-I didn't like the fact that the green on 16 was not visible from
the fairway.
-Did a good job at making this a frustartingly tough course.
WESTERN HIGHLANDS by Mike Clark, Randy Muzny, Pete Broad
-I liked the waste bunker on the 6th hole.
-Good tee shot on the 7th hole.
-Shouldn't have left "needs to be heavily edited still" in the quote
for the 8th hole!!
-I didn't like the tree blocking the front left pin position on #14.
-On some of Randy and Pete's holes, you could see the gold tee obs
when playing from the gold tee.
-One thing that I didn't like was that the three groups of holes done
by the three different designers didn't blend together that well. I
could kind of tell that each section was done by a different designer.
-I have to admit, I didn't really like this course. It was kind of
boring as there was very little good scenery and very few risk/reward
situtations.
MARSHE POINTE WEST by Kyle Bowen
-Good tee shot on #3.
-I really like the tall tree objects that were used. They looked great.
-I liked the idea of putting the HDCP on the actual overhead of each
hole. I don't think that you should have put any height to them. On one
hole when I was on the green, I could see the HDCP thing raised up and
it looked really bad.
-I loved the 9th hole, everything about it. By far the best hole on the
course.
-I encountered a centerline problem on the 10th, which is a par 3!!
-I didn't like the approach to 17. The hills didn't look good and
anything short might end up in an unplayable lie.
-Great attention to detail!! Even the little wooden things with the
hole map had the MPW initials on them. Wow!
-I think that the Marsh feel could have been done a bit better with the
pallette. Water could have been darker and more greenish to get a
better feel for marsh. Good choice of water objects however.
-Overall, an excellent effort from Kyle. Great work Kyle!!
SUMMERLAND HILLS by Mike Clark/Kyle Bowen
-I like the opening hole here a lot. It is a very challenging tee shot,
but if you hit the fairway, birdie is easy and eagle is a possibility.
-I aced hole #2 on my second play-through (means nothing to judging,
I'd just thought I'd mention it).
-Good tough and scenic tee shot on #4 although the large wall on the
left looked pretty bad.
-I didn't like the 7th hole. The scenery would have been great if you
didn't have such a large uphill shot to the green.
-I didn't like those stone sides on the waterfall. They looked kind of
stupid. 10th tee shot looked great even with those.
-Risk/reward on 13 wasn't that great. The right fairway is almost
impossible to hit, so almost all players will play safe.
-There were a few flat greens on the course. Add some slope and the
course becomes even tougher.
