There's too many great courses being released, and I can't play any of them this week. This'll be one of the top one's to try when I get back, looks awesome!

Absolutely stunning course, Jason. Think you captured the sandbelt look marvelously and you definitely notice the Mackenzie influence with the greens and bunkering. Considering that there's no water and really not much elevation change to speak of, everything has to be sculpted very meticulously to create a dynamic look and you absolutely nailed it. Course has some nice strategic merit to it too. Easy 5* & fave here and another wonderful addition to the completed OG series courses. Well done!
EDIT: Forgot to add the only real downside to the course is that it doesn't have the steep faced bunkers that are a staple of some of the courses down that way, the most obvious example being Royal Melbourne. There's nothing the designer can do about that. Just an unfortunate limitation of the way game renders sharp vertical drops.

BIG wide open spaces. A joy to play - loved every minute. I'm planning a mini-tour of Australia/New Zealand in my Sons of Pitches PS4 Society and this one has the Melbourne leg all sewn up. Btw Jason Energ1ser , did you port over your Kiwi course from TGC2 and what was it called pls? Cheers mate - good job. Edit - did some research and found Tarras. This will be the NZ stop on the tour. |

Awesome job, Jason. I've loved every entry in this series so far, but this is probably my favorite. Mine's almost done but I'm almost ashamed to release it now  |

Been waiting on this one, I'll definitely be headed to the first tee ASAP. EDIT: I had a chance to go through this course on pin set 1 from the gold tees, and I gave it a 5-star and instant favorite! There are some really unique things in this course that were pulled off very well, and the playability is really fun. I opened with a very fast swing on hole 1 and couldn't get up and down for the par, but after that bogey I tallied 7 birdies through the next 17 holes to finish with a -6. Lots of beautiful holes on this course, especially the par 3's from the tee box, and lots of "extras" that designers like me appreciate as well. Tremendous effort here, everyone should give this a play!  |

got home from vacation earlier, fired up TGC and played this beauty
Just a natural fit of everything here, very good sculpting, lovely planting, and an outstanding course in my opinion
Great job Jason, thoroughly enjoyed it... Beat Eric's score too so there is always that plus ha ha ha
Great job man

Had a chance to play the course the other night and really enjoyed the round. Some really great angles into the greens and a great low profile visual for the course. Some really beautiful moments in the course , number 15 is a gorgeous hole, even though I watched what I thought was a good shot careen over the green, great stuff. The greens had some really nice rolls (the double green and 18 were fun) and really like the seamlessness between the fairways and greens. I miss the dark bunker lips that used to be in TGC 1 and 2. They looked great with a sandbelt course and would have really made your bunkers pop.
Great work.

Finally got around to playing Heatherton Kings. Brilliant. I shot 80, found it immensely difficult, but had a smile on my face the entire time. Just so perfectly bunkered and sculpted. Challenges are fair and plentiful. I'm certain I will score better my next time around. Loved the strategic questions posed. I also couldn't get enough of the sunken in trees used as tea trees in the sandy waste areas. The planting on this one is superb; attention to detail impeccable throughout. Thanks for the course and please keep publishing these masterpieces.

The layout is odd compared to the one I played, but the holes are spot on.
