I I was looking for inspiration for something, I played Kill Devil Hills Friday and got me thinking about Tara Iti. So this morning after breakfast I was on Google earth looking at Tara Iti and got inspired to try something different..

Yes, this looks great. Kill Devil Hills is a game changer. It is amazing what he created in the Steepe theme. I am going to go down a similar path as yourself with a course in the steepe them, but try to incorporate cliffs and canyons into the design.

Thanks, I have been really inspired and have a great plot to work with. I usually start with a basic plot, some elevation work, then look over for hole and try not to “move too much dirt”. I’m really excited about this project.. I love corses with cliffs, so I’ll keep an eye out for your project.

Tara Iti is unbeleiveavle. It might be my favorite course ever and about as close to perfection as you can get. I absolutely love the contrast of the rugged naturalness of the dunes, white sand, and native grasses and bushes against the green playing surfaces. There are no straight lines anywhere which makes it feel even more natural. In case you need any more inspiration, go to YouTube right now and search “Golf Digest every hole at Tara Iti”. I e probably watched it 100 times and it gives me goose bumps everytime. Even tear or two if I’m being honest. There’s just something spiritual about that I can’t get over. Good luck on your project, it could be really great.

I didn’t know they made one for Tara Iti, going to watch it on my lunch break so I can get into it 😁

Just watched EAL's newest at Tara Iti last night, incredible place. It gave me some inspiration as well...not to do a clone but some similar ideas with my own twist. Looks like a magical course.

One hell of a course to be inspired by, for sure. Reebdoog and I gave it our best with Turu Wero, but the fun thing about this course is that there's a lot of ways to get a Tara Iti vibe. Looks like you have a good start!

Thank you, if it comes half as good as TW, I’ll think I have accomplished something..
