Taken while staying at the Amelia Island Plantation in Florida, on vacation. Nothing like a golf course with an Ocean view.... Ahhhh, life is goooood! :-)
Levels adjustment, curves adjustment, Gaussian blur filter and hue/saturation adjustment on blues, cyans and greens. Cropped slightly and applied unsharp mask. Used a circular polarizer while taking the photo.

An image that makes me wish that you had not used the gothic glow effect. It is in itself very appealing but the processing here has left the grass too dark, the water too greyblue. I am not reminded of the golf which your title is invoking as the greens I see on TV are much lighter colored. The water is not inviting to me because it is not that blue I see the ocean as.
Without the title, this image would not invoke to me a decision, it would say lush, relaxation, peace, perhaps even vacation, but there is no story told here like some other images and I cannot rank it among those that have done this visually without the aide of a title. I can only offer a 4 based on an appealing image that could have drawn me into a beautiful repose had the processing left more to the natural.
