A great course where accuracy is the name of the game, for fear of landing in the marshlands, high rough or waste bunkers, present everywhere.
Strangely enough, the ponds and lakes on my PC look really good (i.e. = blue !) but, this time, it is the sea that looks so-so (too dark...), especially considering that some other courses have great sea colors (then again, this course was released in 2011 and textures have improved since...).
"Sea aside", this par 72 plays very smoothly and has some tough holes to deal with, starting with the dogleg to the left par-5 2nd hole, with plenty of marshland around, or the par-4 3rd, again a dogleg to the left. The par-3 5th hole is nice too, especially the overview as you reach the green, but my favorite hole, besides the 2nd, is the scenic dogleg to the left par-4 9th, quite colorful.
The dogleg to the right par-4 10th hole is very pretty around the green, whereas the par-4 12th has water on both sides : a lake on a left, a river on the right. The par-4 13th hole will give you some sweaty palms as the flag is very close to the water, just like the par-5 16th hole, with its big lake in front of the tee box. As for the final par-4 18th hole, the view of the clubhouse is quite pretty.
Well designed by JJhold, the Kiawah Island course is a definite keeper and a very nice way to escape next to the South Carolina seashore !

very nice job on this redesign jj a definite improvement over the stock design and then som keep up the great work and thank you for all you do for the players of this great game , if ea had designers like yourself and neal and some of the others here on this sight they would have had a much better program than they had all those years that they were up . please keep up the great work and thank you for making these courses available to us .

Very nice work indeed Jamie. Sure does leave the stock version behind (the stock did have bad roll-backs and some ridiculous pins). Good to see you improving in leaps and bounds, this is a very nice course, well done.

Great looking course JJ,had fun playing it with gusty winds
Superb job my friend

Much prefered this version to the stock course that came with the game. Good effort.

My apologies to you ads.

emjoyed this not easy need some long drives to get up there I thought I was going to be in many bunker ares but strangely I did not hit them...a first for me...I give it 5 stars

ads,
I hope you are just kidding around because if you are not keep the rude comments to yourself.

Great course, enjoyed the round very much, loved the ocean sounds and seagulls, felt like i was actually on the real course, great job JJ, worthy of 5 rating, thanks for a fantastic course.

great job was a good round of golf

Thanks for the remake of the course, It plays just as hard as the first one that came with the game :)Maybe it will make its way onto the scratch tour!

jj you did a fantastic job with this course.loved the textures you used.
this course looked as real as can be made!! Exellent work here. 5 big ones again if i could give it 10 i would.
