welcome to the Gascoigne bluffs. This beautiful golf course was built straight out of the beautiful Gascoigne bluffs in southwestern Utah. The millionaire Jacob walker went up to the bluffs one weekend with his family and just envisioned how beautiful of a golf course this could be so he decided to buy a large amount of acres and started construction almost right away. the final product was this beautiful par 71 7276 yard (from tips gold tees recommended for master clubs). Holes 2-8,16,and 17 are all atop of the bluffs. this beautiful golf course is now open for tee times and a low price of $100 a player and it will be the best experience you every have experienced.
sorry everyone i posted the early version of this course with out really making sure that everything was to my liking made a few modifications on holes 2 3 16 10 11 12 and 18. i hope everyone enjoys the final version and please if you have any tips please let me now still getting a hang of this. i really enjoy doing this so if anyones got any ideas for the next course please let me know thank you

I played it today. Attractive course. Holes 4 and 13 were my favorite. I would recommend more sculpting in the bunkers, and some flattening near the pins in some cases. I see planting as your strong suit. Thanks for letting me play your course. Nice work.

This is an absolutely amazing course, and made even more so by being a first publish. Blown away by your planting. This has all the hallmarks of a tourworthy course IMO. Sure, there are some little things here and there - the occasional bunker that could use a bit more depth compared to the others, or a little bit of touch-up with the soft fuzzy in an occasional spot, like the edges of a green or two - but generally speaking this is an awesome course, and plenty of the greatest courses aren't perfect either. The rockwork is fantastic. The cart path is flawless (yes, I place importance on that). The off-course topography and environment is gorgeous as a setting. Your greens are very well-sculpted. Overall contouring is beautiful. And you make the golfer think about most shots, which really adds a lot of interest and challenge. About the only suggestion I could give would be sight-lines off the tees; many cut off the view of the landing areas, which if opened up would make the course more dramatic and beautiful and of course work better in terms of playability (think: True Sim).
This a very fun and challenging course that is gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to play. I think we have an up-and-coming great designer here!

With the illegal pins they were green when I was sculpting is it because I had faster green speed

With the illegal pins they were green when I was sculpting is it because I had faster green speed If you made the green speed faster after you sculpted, then yes. As @spartan4knight says, it's a good idea to set the green speed at max when you design, then drop it back down to be safe. The green/yellow/red also define themselves based on the angle, so you want to putt from different areas around potentially dodgy pins as well.

Thank you I appreciate it had a hard time hearing him while he was explaining thank you yes sorry about that man my kids were sleeping so I was trying to be quiet. But it’s not uncommon at all for sloped colors to change after you publish that’s why I recommend designing on the fastest speed’s and then cranking it down once you’re done
