At the beginning of Autumn, I drove through the hilly "Driftless" region of Wisconsin and thought, this would make a good course locale. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driftless_AreaI've been working on this course, my second ever, for some time - I stream most of my my design on twitch, and some people have given me great suggestions as I go. (https://www.twitch.tv/cephyn) My first course (Edgemoor Castle) wasn't played much, but that's OK - it was really a 'learn the designer' course. I posted it and moved on quick, I knew it had problems. (I still think its got some really fun holes). I'm almost done now with "Driftless Hills". I have 4 or 5 holes left to plant, and then I need to do playthroughs looking for bad pins and anything I've missed. I hope this course will get a few more plays and eyeballs on it - I build courses to be played! Hopefully this won't get lost in all the (well-deserved) hoopla around the rookie course competition! imgur.com/a/BVwAzAGSecond shot, looking back at the tee, of Hole 1 Second shot of Hole 2 Tee shot, Hole 3 Tee shot, Hole 4 Tee shot, Hole 6 Tee shot, Hole 9 Approach shot from behind the green, Hole 10 Tee shot, Hole 15 2nd shot, Hole 16 Tee Shot, Hole 17

Fully planted now. Gotta play through all the pin sets and try to validate the slopes, and make sure it plays OK. My first pinset playthrough, I altered some fairways and holes, but getting close. Still not happy with how a couple holes are turning out, but not sure they can be fixed at this point.

Sorry ohheycat - been pretty busy of late - I think I'm going to try and publish this sucker this weekend. Hopefully people will play it! I'll stream/record a presentation video and post in the completed courses section. I'm reasonably sure my pins are OK on this one. I just think I'm past the stage where publishing a beta is going to do much for me. (And I'm feeling kinda "done" with this course!) Fingers crossed people will like it.
