Cabo del Sol...

  I played the course in a ready go (back 9) just now, enjoyed the game, found it a very easy course, apart from the greens (depending on where you land lol).  Scored -6 for first attempt, and would definitely play it again, but i still don't like the cartoon graphics compared to the luxury hd photos we get for the other courses.

  Will carry on playing it in ready go's, but will NEVER pay 100 for a normal round.

  WGT,

   Any chance of getting the Cabo del Sol course available to Country Clubs? At least only available as a premium tournament? That way WGT and Tru-Golf can share the 20% cut of the entry fee?

  Liked the course even if it looks like a cartoon. Want to play it more, but won't pay a green fee just to play for the fun of it. Competition among country club members would be fun. Ready-Go's are good. However would play a lot more if less than 100cr per 9 holes and competeing against someone other than myself.

  What's with the pin positions on Cabo?  Tee to green, it's pretty easy.. I played the ready-gos and was amazed at the ridiculous breaks on putts inside 5 feet.. holes 1, 2, 10, and 11, I had birdie putts inside 6 feet and didn't come CLOSE.. just ridiculous.. I was looking for a change of pace, but, no thank you....

  Like several other players here, I also tried stroke play at Rabo del Sol for the first time, in a ReadyGo (also my first ever ReadyGo) given that the marginal cost to play the course is zero since you're paying only the ReadyGo fee.

  Some nice holes, liked the par 3 over the water. Lots of the greens are flat as a board, but 10 was a frustrating 3-putt from 5 feet or some such.

  You can definitely see the features of the course that mark it out as a resort course: the extremely wide fairways, bailout landing zones and large greens (all to avoid frustrating the paying customers).

  Just managed to win enough on the ReadyGos to recoup my entry fees plus a few cents left over. If I see an 18-hole ReadyGo I'll try to nail a decent award for the course, but don't expect to be hanging out down there.

  Good question chris. Looked for it myself and couldn't find it. Played it on X's link. Shot a 66 which is good for me but not good enough to win anything LOL
