If you want to play an unusual links course, this might be the place to start : with deep rough all around the hilly landscape, quite a few wide bunkers, lots of undulating and/or slanted fairways and very wide greens, but quite tricky with a few mounds near the cups, you will have your hands full playing this par 72, quite bare all around, except for a few palm trees and a couple of water hazards.
On the front 9, I like the par-3 2nd hole, with its elevated and wide green and the right dogleg par-4 3rd, with a blind tee shot downward an undulating fairway and a steeply-uphill and blind approach to the green, with a serpentine bunker all along, midway, on the left of the fairway and ending way below across and to the right of the green.
On the downhill and scenic par-5 4th hole, with a log cabin on the left of the tee box, you will need to hit two blind shots (with the second one very steeply down) away from big bunkers on both sides of the fairway to reach the green, with a big lake further behind, before moving on to the nice right dogleg par-4 5th, with a downhill tee shot landing a wide bunker with three palm trees on the right, not far from the lake below and a blind and steeply-uphill second shot to the wide green.
After the par-4 6th hole, with its downhill tee shot over deep rough and its blind and uphill second shot to reach the green (guarded by a wide bunker across in front), you will face the right dogleg par-5 7th, with a blind and steeply-downhill panoramic tee shot landing onto an undulating fairway and a very tricky (and long) second shot if you want to try to reach the elevated green, with plenty of deep rough around, along with a couple of palm trees in front on the left, and a big rocky hill behind on the right.
The par-3 8th hole is uphill but not too difficult if you can avoid the wide and deep bunker in front (with two palm trees in the middle on the right), just like the left dogleg par-4 9th, with a downhill tee shot landing onto an undulating and slanted fairway (with two winding and elongated bunkers on the right, midway and a little bit apart), and a blind and uphill approach to an elevated (and very wide) sloped green.
If the right dogleg par-4 10th hole requires an uphill tee shot landing onto a plateau and a blind approach to the wide green, slightly downhill (with the lake further down below), I prefer the tougher and prettier right dogleg par-4 11th, quite tricky with a blind and steeply-downhill tee shot landing near the lake and a tough shot over it to try to reach the undulating green.
The left dogleg par-5 12th hole, with a tee shot over part of the lake and deep rough should offer you an eagle opportunity if you can reach the steeply-elevated green with your blind approach and avoid the wide bunker in front, before heading for the easier left dogleg par-4 13th, uphill all the way with a blind second shot toward the wide green, and the scenic par-3 14th hole, with the wide green set on a high plateau, with a few palm trees around and the pink (!) hotel, further back.
Then, after the right dogleg par-4 15th hole, with a blind and downhill tee shot landing onto an undulating fairway with four wide bunkers on the both sides and an elevated and sloped green, you will face the last par-5 hole, the left dogleg 16th, with a blind and uphill tee shot landing near two wide bunkers halfway on both sides of the fairway, before hitting another blind, but downhill, second shot toward the wide green, and its two small mounds to watch for.
Finally, after the par-3 17th hole and its small wide pond across the green in front, you will complete your round with the right dogleg par-4 18th, with a slanted fairway and a big bunker on the right, not far from the undulating green while looking at the hilltop hotel on the left.
Despite its name, The Lost Cause should not put you in a "no-win" situation : if you are patient enough and can "tame" its very hilly landscape, wide bunkers and tricky greens, you might finish with a decent score on this interesting links course, designed by M.G.A. Hover.

the game looks great but it crashed playing LAN and on IP. any suggestions on this?

thanks.
