Happy to give this a play through, hope the criticism and praise I give will be taken in the spirit it's intended. First off, very busy - lots of planting and rocks and water and trees and bunkers and grass and plants and everything. Impressive hole routing, bunker placement and hazards throughout, although some fairway to green joins look a bit angular. Thought some of the plants and grasses were a touch on the over sized side of things, rocks too. That's a personal preference thing though. It all ties together well. Shadows on the greens were an issue for me, as were the extreme contours on many greens. Immediately realised this is for better players than me! Some of the bottle-cap greens looked kinda off too, to me. A barrier or bunker to stop the ball rolling off into the water - or even as a visual warning might have been better. Personal preference again. Now the good stuff! The raised tee box planter bed was very, very impressive and the "verandah" made from the embedded boat is very creative. Everything looks to have been done pretty well, thought has gone into things like the par 5 with the double fairway (unfortunate flyoaver though) and the long par 3 that allows a nice bump and run approach. I like very much. Scoring-wise, well, my second round was better than my first, and my third is going better than my second! I might make under par by Christmas! A decent effort that those looking for a real challenge will enjoy. Congrats, now get it approved and join the Designer's Club!

Thanks for the feedback and I know exactly what you mean about oversize. Actually shrunk a few things. I saw you played from the red tees once. The oversize plants on the tee box on 10 make you feel like you are in "Honey I shrunk the children"

Making some correction, adding some seating and going to have a Carroll Creek - Champions course for a 4 round event in a private league im in for Feb. My next course I am working on is called "Oklahoma Elite" I am taking 2 holes from the top courses in the state of Oklahoma and recreating them. The course when complete will be ab out 80% RCR and 20% creation Birdies and Beagles is the private league I am in. Lots of fun events and a good facebook updates.
