After playing this course, I tend to agree with the previous comments regarding a few displaying bugs which prevent it from being a great one.
As expected, the back 9, being closer to the cliffs, is nicer and more challenging than the front 9.
On this par-72 course, planting is minimal, but well done, and this spacious course plays smoothly. After the slightly uphill and straight par-5 1s hole comes my favorite hole, the par-3 2nd with the flag hidden by trees in a corner.
On the par-4 4th hole, you get a glimpse of the cliffs on the right side before seeing the flag at the top of the horizon, a nice view indeed. The par-5 6th hole is nice with its uphill shots and water to the right of the green.
However, there is a bug on the par-4 7th with two "semi-transparent" trees standing on the right side of the tee area (but that does not spoil the view of the lone flag (similar to the one on the 4th hole). While the par-4 8th hole has a tough slopey green, I prefer the tougher par-3 9th hole (despite the horizon moving up and down on my PC !).
Then comes the signature par-5 10th hole, one of the most spectacular holes you will ever see, with its gorgeous cliffs. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug as the sea on the right side is not straight and there is something above it below the horizon... not sure what it is, but does not look smooth at all...).
As for the hole itself, be ready to see your ball roll way back after your tee shot : using a driver, I hit it only 225 yards ! Needless to say, the very steep uphill second shot is almost unreal, but... gorgeous !
After that frightening hole, the par-3 11th is very nice with its blind shot all the way to the downill green, set on a plateau. I also like the par-5 12th hole with its uphill shot and the par-3 13th, straight but nice with the cliffs on the right side.
The par-5 18th concludes in a very tough way your round as you will need a very powerful second shot to try to reach the green.
Overall, Tim Leonard chose a tough course to recreate and we need to be thankful for the job he did. Hopefully, with an updated version, this course could be even nicer...

Well Tim,
regarding the unique position of this course, on the high cliffs of Normandie, where many famous French impressionist painters made fantastic works, the graphical result is somewhat disappointing.
Antbow said true words in a previous comment.
The course plays well (alltough I missed the clubhouse for a refreshment).
I would almost beg you to make a version 2 of this course, without the mistakes in this one, and it can be a masterpiece!
Thank you!

Regarding first comment: The shaky background is probably due to you seeing below the horizon. Since this course sits high up on a cliff, on some views there's enough angle for you to see below the background panorama which makes the background shimmy. I don't know of any fix for that unfortunately.
