I gave this course a go and I found it plays well, didn't have any glaring problems going round. The fairways and greens were both done well as was the bunkers although I'm not a fan of the oddly shaped bunkers. I think it was the 13th where you have a lot of rocks to the side of the fairway, I'd try and create the rocky look with the terrain and add a few smaller rocks onto it along with some plants to break it up a bit. I noticed a couple of blind approaches as well but all in a good course. Some of the things I've brought up is just preferences so not to be taken too seriously. Thanks for the feedback Celtic! Riotous mentioned the rocks on the left of the 13th as well, I’ll definitely try and get them looking better. They were a relatively late addition, I needed something to make the teeshot more interesting. Off the top of my head i can only think of one intentional blind approach shot (left fairway on the 4th), so I’ll do my best to fix any others before publish. To be honest it might've been my bad shooting on the first that left me with a blind approach.

Still working on this one. Footpaths are all done now, and that also means that the signature hole, the par 3 5th, is now finished: This was the first hole I laid out on the course, and is now the first one to be complete. It also gives the course its name: Ferryman's Tipple. After your teeshot, the ferryman will row you across the mouth of the natural harbour to the green. It's good manners to make sure your golf bag has a bottle of whisky inside for the ferryman, just in case you get a hole in one

I’m starting to like these backstories just as much as the courses themselves

This one is almost finished. Just one more set of playtesting and tweaks, then I'll hit the publish button. Hopefully later this week...
