As I am running down again the list of real courses (still left to play – very few in fact !), I stumbled upon this one where I experienced big bugs with TW07, six months ago (as mentioned below). So, I gave it another chance with TW08 and I am happy to say that, this time, this Sebonack Golf Club passed the... crash test !
Not only this gorgeous par 72 ran very smoothly but I had a ball, discovering the whole course the way I should have seen it the first time around...
Besides all my previous comments, I really enjoyed the nice uphill and short par-4 1st hole, with a blind tee shot in the direction of the green and the ocean behind and the par-4 2nd, with plenty of wide bunkers, mostly on the right, with another blind tee shot over deep rough downward and an uphill approach to the green.
But after some more scenic holes, my favorites are definitely the beautiful par-3 8th, with a tee shot over a wide lake landing onto a small green, and the right dogleg par-5 9th hole, uphill all the way, with a gorgeous serpentine road all along on the right (with some nice townhouses next to it) and a spectacular area around the wide and pretty clubhouse (at the end of the road), with a very nice... parking lot (with street lamps and cars) and the name of the course, spelled out on the lawn in front : simply superb !
On the back 9, I liked the par-3 12th hole, with a slightly downhill tee shot over deep rough and three wide bunkers in front of the green, and the left dogleg par-5 13th, with a big pond in front (and on the right) of the green, with three more bunkers in front.
Then, after the par-4 14th hole, uphill all the way with wide bunkers, mostly on the right, and the very long (almost 620 yards) right dogleg par-5 15th, with a blind and slightly-downhill tee shot landing onto a wide fairway (and a third shot toward the elevated green), you will face the scenic par-3 17th hole, with a tee shot over plenty of deep rough, before finishing with the par-5 18th, above the ocean (on the left), with a downhill tee shot and a long uphill second shot to try to reach the green !
Superbly designed by JJHold, this Sebonack Golf Club is a top shelf course and a tough one too, with subtle elevation changes, undulating fairways (and a few greens) and quite a few wide and (often) deep bunkers to watch for, not to mention a few water hazards to keep you on your toes.
So, hurry to pack your old jerseys on your way to Southampton... New Jersey !

Should read "available" !

Video was all screwed after 1st hole. Had to ditch it. Could be my rig but never did this on any other courses.

this course still crashes on me but i am still playing it. I'm kinda using it as a benchmark to judge other courses along with a few other designers courses, and also from the biggest complaints thread on this site. This course fits what i am calling top of the line courses. No gaps between pano and plot. No hole to close the the edge of the plot. Plot completely fill so no big open space outside the course itself. Greens that are raised or at least fair with no rollback. Fairways that are smooth with no creases. Bunkers with nice shapes with lips. water that is flatten and also flat tee boxes. A course where all the textures blend together, courses that has more than just trees but also bushes and plants. This course covers all that plus reaches out and adds a lot more with clubhouse parking lot with cars and street lamps. Lots of time and detail was taken to build this course. also one of the few course where a ocean water textures was use that was at the right distance as not to have that pattern look to it. this is one few courses that is a stand out above all the rest....thanks for all the hard work its taken to make such a nice course to play and enjoy....

Always nice to switch on the computer,read the course comments and have a nice course to download. What makes this course so good is the plethora of bunkers., the good elevation work that adds interest to the course.,the juxtaposition of the different colored grasses.,the really good road that is well set into the landscape. Five stars from me.

Could not finish after the 16th hole crashed to the desktop

Very nice course JJHold. Game played smooth all the way through. I have Windows 7 (64), I have the game installed in a folder called Games. It is Not in the folder Program Files (86).

Excellent design JJ,,had no issues with it at all

Great course JJ...I had the pleasure of playing this last year and this was like taking a stroll down memory lane. You nailed all the little nuances of the course and the bunkering was superb...Brilliant design!!!

Game keeps kicking players out and display goes crazy

Brilliant! enjoyed it !! had a problem with it the course seemed to magnetise my ball into every bunker, but apart from that I give it 5 star

Very nice Jamie, very very nice
