I had to check this out as the 2006 version by Somerfelt is one of my top courses to play. As I was downloading I remembered there being renovations done to the course, I figured that is why it was being re-released. My first thought when playing was where are all the trees?? 2006 was really woodsy, tight fairways etc. I was about to write this off as a disappointment but then I read the course file where it said some 500 trees were removed. Aha! With that, it is a great rendition. I followed along with a flyover while playing and the new design is represented well. The new trap and green designs are right on. Technically nothing wrong, all is smooth, the texture is nice, a lot lighter than 2006. Greens can be tricky but not impossible. Most holes seem more wide open. Some of the tees seem a little less elevated ,dont know if thats part of the new design.. I guess if I had to nitpick, some of the creek edges are a bit sharp. Overall a definite keeper, A-List course. Thanks for your time and effort in bring us a new rendition of a great course.

Thanks for the nice review. Jack has been making changes to Muirfield Village continuously through the years. They opened up the course 8 to 10 years ago or there abouts. Jack is always tinkering with all aspects of his baby Muirfield Village. I didn't think I'd like the course as much with it opened up but I do like some of the changes he's made over the years. This is probably my last update of this classic course, but you never know. I do think it's my best version.
I've got more updated course's to released soon. so, stay tuned.

Really nice job Steve

Jim!
Thanks, Glad you liked it. I'm currently getting ready to play round 3 of the Valero Texas Open at Legent Island. Round 1 (-7) round 2 (+2). Did make the first cut. Looks like another A list course that you designed.

The Village was not one of my favourite stops in my seasons, but you have to have the Memorial right?
I like the new version very much, more open, a bit more contouring, a few greens moved and water added on one of the par 3's.
Enjoying my rounds there now.
Thanks for the release.

I'm not sure what I can add to what has already been said, Steve Horn, but I wanted to let you know that I played the course and greatly enjoyed it. Definitely going to be on my active courses list.

Nice to hear positive reviews. Hopefully you'll get a chance to play a couple more of my new releases once I get the bugs ironed out.
