  Very cool course and thank you wgt for getting it in the lineup.

  I got vertigo on the teebox of #10 :D

  Just my 2 cents but I like the course ( the way it challenges your thinking on the approaches and tests your nerve on the greens). My best suggestion for those that haven't tried it yet is to ask yourself  Do I want a challenge? If so by all means give it at least a shot with an open mind beforehand otherwise you will be cheating yourself. Yes the greens are tricky but not unmanageable. Yes some shots play severely uphill while others severely downhill but still not difficult to figure out. And yes it is not shot in HD like the true WGT courses but it has some pretty nice qualities nonetheless.        Rock

  Yep as Hans said above, the mapping on 3rd needs serious work. You can hit the near side of the fairway and the map will show that you're sitting knee-deep in the thick stuff!

  Not sure whether this was mentioned before, but there is definitely something wrong with the right map at hole 3. End of fairway is displayed there as road behind the fairway and for example flag is displayed at right green half instead of left green half. Apart from that, tough and nice course, well done!

  Cheers, Hans

   

  can you guys please provide screenshots of what you mean? maybe edit them and show off exactly. sometimes a picture = 1000 words

  Handicap on scorecard is wrong. Says 5 for every hole (as mentioned in an earlier post)

  First HIO?

  -4 for first game. Green's definitely play hard, good challenge though, really need to land the ball next to the hole. Height of the course is fantastic, down 68ft, brilliant! :)

  Shot -4 after hitting all 18 greens in regulation (one eagle) with 6 3-putts (34 putts in all).  Learning the pins helps, but too many of the hole locations are like 18 on Cabo.. if you don't make the putt, your next one probably isn't going to be a tap-in..  I had a lot of 2nd putts that were in the 8-10 foot range.  I wasn't studying where the 'safe' play was when hitting my approaches, but it looks like a lot of the holes don't have one.  Maybe my ball just happened to be in the worst spot on the greens.. or maybe the greens are brutal.

   

  I won't be playing this course again.. as bored as I am with the other courses, the greens here are just going to be frustrating.  

   

  Example:

  I hit this approach on one of the par 4's on the back- a reasonable shot, I thought...

  Which left me with this putt:

  LOL... it was a putt from 20 feet, 14 inches uphill.. it goes to about a foot from the hole, then rolls back down farther than I was when I started..  it's the putt after the approach I posted..

  Yes i had the same trouble there. I usually putt to the hole and allow gravity to do its thing, but this hole is definitely a putt you need to hit 2ft harder.
