Pretty sure I have beta versions of the top 15 courses in MN... Well they are public (I know there’s some amazing private) and I don’t remember all but some standouts have been Stoneridge Rush creek Chaska Legends The meadows at mystic lake I absolutely loved stoneridge. One of my favorite courses I’ve ever played. But there’s so many great courses out there. I go every summer and we just play 3-4 rounds a trip and even the cheaper off day courses are really nice.

Funny! The only one I haven't made yet is Legends in Prior lake... all the others have very decent beta versions published If you search stoneridge, rush creek, chaska town, the meadows you will find them all!

I had a quick look at this course - and I like to give you feedback: The course lacks planting. Lots of planting. Why have you not placed the clubhouse and parking lot and other housing in the area? The course right now looks like a beta - before proper planting. I assume you import trees using Chad's Tools - I will not recommend this. While it is easy and saves time - you get wrong trees, too little trees in forests etc. So all you accomplish is to waste plant meter while you must replace trees which is not what you want. You need the plant meter for planting the course. To plant a course properly using pictures and videos and all you can find to make it look accurate takes time - but it is needed.

I like to give you feedback: I posted in completed courses because I'm done with the design. If someone else wants to spend hours planting and adding cars in parking lots, then they can import the OSM and make their own version. I play these courses on my skytrak and all those extra trees buildings/parking lots cars etc etc etc does is bog down the game on my simulator. If this isn't the place to share these courses I've made then I suppose I'll stop sharing them on this forum

If this isn't the place to share these courses I've made then I suppose I'll stop sharing them on this forum Most people who post courses on the TGCTours forum want some advice regarding what people like and what they think could be done better. It's more tactful to approach things with a mix, but it's harder to do that for LiDAR or any real courses (aside from technical aspects) since in a sense 'it's either right or it's not.' If you want a place where people fawn over courses regardless of their quality, you may want to consider posting on the HB Studios forum as people over here take course design a bit more 'seriously' per se. We all try to help each other become better designers, and the TGC community as a whole benefits from it.

You are Dwightjhall in game? Cause if you are, I was waiting to come back at home next week to ask you via steam if you could, at least, to add all the 4 pins to your courses. I understand why you don't spend too many time on planting etcetera, and it would be silly to criticize your choice. Someone can appreciate the opportunity to play a lidar layout even if is not perfectly designed, someone else definitely not, but I think your choices must be respected and if someone don't like the result, can simply avoid to use your courses. But.. if a course has just one pin, is impossible to use it for some tournament, even for those guys who don't care too much about quality. Thank you, anyway

Maybe if you’re doing a bare minimum version like this, you could put (sim) in the title of course so they don’t get confused with the true RCRs when searched?

Just played this in a society and loved it - great routing, really fun course to play and some annoyingly subtle greens. As others said, it could use a bit of touching up for non-sim usage. If you ever had any interest in sending the file over, I'd love to plant it a bit more as I think it's a quality track that would get serious usage on Tour. Let me know if you're keen, but if not, thanks for bringing it into the game and giving us a great track
