I have seen plenty of courses where the terrain is extremely smooth even when there is elevation and when I have had a go at sculpting myself it just doesn't look right. Maybe I am using the wrong tool?
Not sure if this is in the right thread. Sorry if it isn't.

The fuzzy circle brush on page 4 of the flatten/raise tools. Make it big and it works wonders
For smoothing best to use the landscape flatten one

Go to the 33 minute mark here, from the tips with Eric Nesbit. Each week they have a designer tips segment and this week was pretty much exactly what you are looking for.

Does anyone have a 'shortcut' method for creating a long, steady slope? I have a lot of that on my course and am working the terrain little by little to have it slope the way I want it to. Quite tedious although I'm very happy with the end result, just wondering if there's a way to expedite the process a little bit (aside from the 'more experience' way )

I struggle with this too, apart from the large fuzzy brush (cure for everything!). How did you it 'little by little' ?

Start at your green site and raise it up to the required height and then increase the size of your brush and the land gently slopes from top to bottom. That's how I've always done it and it works perfectly every time. It's best to do this before you put down any surfaces or draw your hole.

Who says it has to be a green site? Could just be a fairway that slopes from left to right or uphill / downhill. Either way, sounds like I still need to get 'in' on this method
@riotous with the fuzzy brush until it ends up looking how you want it to

Quite tedious although I'm very happy with the end result, just wondering if there's a way to expedite the process a little bit (aside from the 'more experience' way ) I use the U-shaped brush with the gradient. It takes a bit of practice, but once you have it down, making consistent slopes is a breeze.

perhaps This is the kind of stuff us newcomers are looking for

Using the fuzzy brush (page 4) is the best way to get smooth sculpting. The bigger you can make the brush, the better. A bigger brush gives more gradual elevation over a large area. Yes, you can use it smaller to work on areas that need it, but I find myself using it as big as I can on fairways to get realistic (the keyword) undulations without plateaus or "steps." Yes, gradual long slopes are tedious, but if you're starting from a flat area, the gradient brush above is a great tool. If not, then you have to have patience and do it the long way.

I think the key is to plan ahead for sculpting like this. The more room you can leave yourself, the better

Best way is using the fuzzy circle brush and lots and LOTS of time and practice, best to get it looking like you want it before laying down textures, I usually also set my lighting to highlight the area I’m working on so I can get an accurate look and feel of how it’s turning out
