I have to say it was a bit of a challenge to understand everything they were talking about despite the commonalities with other Germanic languages and golf jargon. 
We have a couple of videos of our home club
You'll also find flyovers of all the holes here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJtvZ1pq_N16WBqtWCarAxQ/videos

Since I play there much more often than anywhere else, I guess Killian Greens is my home course in Miami.
It'll never be known for being in spectacular condition. It'll never win any awards for the brilliant design, though I'd argue most of the holes are very memorable. It'll never be in contention to host any tournament more important than the Tuesday afternoon shootout. Many would call it a dog track, but it has a certain character that can't be denied. Not to mention, the new BBQ restaurant who is moving into the restaurant space is incredible. What else is there?
When I visit my adopted home of Jamaica, my home course will always be Constant Spring Golf Club. It's a links style course, 9 out and 9 back, but instead of being on the ocean, it's on the side of the mountains rising above the residential areas around Kingston. I think the most common compliment about Constant Spring is, "It's devilish!"

Here's a Google Earth shot of Killian Greens, where i tend to play most. (attached)
In the middle is the clubhouse. You cross the road to the first tee. The first hole runs to the left of the lake. Then you cross the horizontal canal to play the 2nd. From there, it winds around intuitively until 9, which comes back to the clubhouse on the right side of the same lake as #1.
Number 10 tee is back on the same side as the clubhouse, slightly down the road around the gentle curve. The tiny little green near the road is a practice green with a bunker next to the #10 tee. The back 9 runs through the houses until it crosses the street again and plays 14 through 18.
As you can see, it's tight, with water and OB in play on nearly every hole.The greens are small, though not sloped much. The new owner has put a pretty good chunk of money into it and the condition has improved a lot. I wish I could tell you the improved conditions helped my game... ;-)

I haven't heard of that site until now. Pretty interesting. The hole in the photo is actually #4, the number 1 handicap hole. Those 2 trees that cut into the fairway are just as evil as they look. It's often a driver and hybrid for me, sometimes even a driver and 3 wood. I generally think of it as a par 5 where the state of my game is now.
