Thanks for posting Marty.
Curious to know from those who’ve played or visited how the lower level drone footage compares with what the naked eye sees especially in relation to the seemingly significant amount of ‘dunes’ that happen to be the same height and size and their relationship to the graded/flattish looking valley fairways. From afar on screen the ‘dunes’ look somewhat repetitive choc drop in style rather than more ‘natural’. Hope this isn’t an unfair description and through the naked eye things are different.

I watched the long version:

I have to say there's a lot to like about the course - if you can ignore the bright white sand, perfectly immaculate revetted bunkers and artificial mounds. It looks like there is a lot of variety. The conditioning/maintenance looks almost too good (I initially thought I was watching a computer generated video).

Yes, the great pyramids of Fife look a bit silly in the flesh but after a while you don't notice them and concentrate on the course. I've only played it once but I reckon after repeat plays it would stand up better than CS or KB, which are the courses it stands comparison to being a big scale modern.
