A couple of weeks ago I made a conscious decision to stop designing for a while. I've been going through an awful lot of personal issues that were causing me to pretty much be fed up with the whole process and also found myself getting annoyed at people looking for me to port courses over or create new ones (not your fault guys, just where my heads been at lately)
So after a few days I started having a lot of free time because I wasn't in the designer at all, was just focussing on the gameplay side of things until last week when one day I was so angry I just needed a distraction which has essentially led me to this project.
There was no intention to start a new project, just have a little fun with the designer but from the darkest of places I started to put together a course that I really really liked. More and more ideas came flooding in and now I'm looking at publishing my very first non RCR course.
I will be posting course & hole information through the next few weeks

Welcome to the games newest and most exclusive country club in TGC2019 - Highgarden Castle & Country Club.
Highgarden is the maiden course project by design company - O'Sullivan Golf Estates, that will cater to the rich and famous on a daily basis. This is a fantastic location that is full of history and incredibly beautiful gardens, forests and of course the beautiful Golden Rose lake.
The Castle of Highgarden sits upon a hill overlooking a vast and beautiful estate that has been transformed into a luxurious holiday resort featuring an 18 hole golf course, a prestigious golf academy, a holiday village, two 5 Star Hotels, countless flower gardens and a beautiful walk through the estate that will take you to all the beautiful sites of the estate.
Speaking with the Head Designer from O'Sullivan Golf Estates, Cathalos1991 has said that "this project has been and continues to be immensely fun and challenging all at the same time. The castle itself is so full of history dating back thousands of years when House Gardener built the fortress and ruled The Reach as Kings before foreign conquerors arrived at their doorstep and took the castle."
"To be able to be a part of that history and to be given the opportunity to be involved in this project is just amazing, we have plans to have some tributes to Highgarden & The Reach around the estate to celebrate its history, so if you plan on visiting, be sure to keep your eyes peeled"
More course & individual hole information will be available over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates.

I used to play a lot of Cities Skylines and had a modern version of King's Landing with an "oldtown" area by the sea that had walls and castle ruins and stuff, and I'd thought about doing something similar in this game, so this sounds like it will be right up my alley. Keep it up, can't wait to see it done, and hope all your personal issues get worked out.

Have read a bit on the area so just trying to capture it as much as I can and will also have a jousting arena along with a few other bits. Hoping to bring the entire plot into play

Hey Guys - Just been working on a purpose built course for the knockout stages of The T.G.C. Championship. It's not 100% ready to go just yet but I have published a beta for you all to test out and give some feedback on and go nuts with all the course settings. Its my first bash at a "fantasy course" - so be nice ððððð I'll be working on sprucing it up in the background

Back in the designer this evening working on my first fantasy course which is a Game of Thrones themed course based in the modern day. The area I'm using is Highgarden and as a tribute to the two families who were lords of this castle I have added their House Sigils at the back of the castle as a tribute. One of the many little Easter eggs around the course. Was a tough one to do without being able to replicate angles etc and working with hedges but a lot of fun nonetheless.
