*edit: working name is Bull Rocky Ranch. This is my 3rd course. First 2 took 3 and 4 months to complete. This time I'm trying to do 1 hole per day. I'm mixing amateur designing with templates. I have the Cape hole and double plateau, but rough around the edges. There will be a modified biarritz with 3 very distinct tiers but the green won't be a rectangle. Some other template holes, then other holes thrown in to fit the landscape. I took the idea of bunkers lining the fairway from the Black Diamond Ranch Quarry course (also a WIP with LiDAR on that), and a cliffside hole from Quivira. First 4 holes are mostly completed. Pics 1 and 2: #1 Cape, tee shot and approach Pic 3: #2 par 3 Pics 4 and 5: #3 par 5, tee shot and 2nd Pic 6: cliffside par 4

So without seeing it up close I am going to guess... two or three of the pinkish/red curved bridges on bottom to make the semi-circle. Skinny fence polls to make the downward facing supports, and maybe ob sticks to make the ones that are facing diagonally? Also, are those dead tree trunks with bushes on top for that tree by the green? Really cool look.

Another example of how limitless the possibilities are in the designer if you put your mind to it. That bridge fits so well into the theme

The top is the wood bridge with supports, then the flat wood bridge on top of that. The bottom is the arched wood bridge. The braces are the flat wood bridge angled up. Then some fence posts to extend the supports of the top bridge. Edit: yes that is a blown up dead tree with blown up bushes. I think it looked cool but I'm not sold on it. Not sure if it resembles any type of possible tree in an environment like this.
