I agree, the course setting was uninspired. Not sure how you can do that in PWFP, but there you go.
Having said that, I thought the Brown was better than the Red (I ran the former, N the latter; I didn't see the Green.)
But the woods were so nice it hardly mattered!
The woods were overall pretty nice for Red. It was technically easy but to do well, there were some good route choices to make.
