I figured I'd go ahead and get a WIP thread started for the 13th attempt at my very first course on TGC2019. I'm new to all of this, so bear with me: View from the First Tee The view approaching the first green...still need to work on the fairway and planting...and raising the green a little so it is more visible... More to come...

Awesome man, welcome to the community! I'll look forward to following along on this progress. The sightline off that first tee looks pretty nice from that picture.

Thanks! I worked on the course for over four hours yesterday, but didn't save while working, and then while trying to take pictures the game crashed...Lesson definitely learned...

Oh my, we've all been there buddy. That is one of the WORST feelings in the (digital golf course) world. I've not gotten to the point where I save every 15 minutes or so, and also any time I make something that I am happy with, I also save at that point too so that nothing would happen to it. Sorry you had to go through this Mike, that really sucks! Stick with it though, your course is looking nice!

Went back in to redo what I had lost, and completed Hole #1, deleted the routing for holes 7-18, rough-shaped 3&4, worked more on #2 (very short par 3), and added a driving range with putting/chipping area near the unfinished clubhouse area... I'll just be working on routing, structure and macro sculpting sculpting for awhile, so updates will be slow coming... See You Out There, Mike (DrnkNdKnwThngs)

Nice, working on the clubhouse and range before the course is all surfaced. Big fan of this approach. Keeps a man from going crazy and hating the course. You do know things.

I went ahead and finished(?) Hole #2...It's just a short par 3, so didn't need much more...I'll start on shaping the remainder of the course next... Need a break from planting...LOL! ~Drnk (Mike)

Worked on some sculpting and shaping of Holes 3, 4 & 5, but focused mostly on #3 because I need the practice with trying to slope fairways...Here are a few screenshots for you all to critique (I mean, enjoy...LOL!) First is the Tee box view of 3, then the approach, followed by the green complex and an overhead shot where you can also see the green from #1 and Hole #2 as well... I'd welcome any comments and advice you all have...Thanks! ~Mike (Drnk)

I also took an overhead shot of the course so far...You can see the clubhouse and practice area on the left. Hole #1 from the top left into the peninsula, then the short #2, going back out from the middle to the right to #3. Driveable #4 up from #3's green peninsula, then uphill par 3 #5 in the upper right.

Liking the look of your first course so far. Keeping the sculpting simple and consistent is great. Lighting looks fantastic. The fall theme (can’t remember it’s actual name) is a tough one but looks like you’re pulling it off.

Small update/tease...Can anyone else see what might be coming...Let's see if the plant meter can hold on (trees are off right now, BTW...but this will take a ton of the meter)...5-6 holes can view this during a round...might be worth it... Stay Drnk! ~Mike (DrnkNdKnwThngs)

Stay Drnk! ~Mike (DrnkNdKnwThngs) Wow that looks bold! Can’t wait to see what that looks like all linked up sculpted and planted. If you keep it to just those falls you won’t habe a problem with the meter. The autogenerated trees rocks and plants don’t effect the meter so turn them up as much as you want

Yeah, like bread said, you should be alright with the meter. Water features might be the most demanding of the object meter but 6 or 7 shouldn't hinder you too much. Just be mindful of possible lag or stutter if you play right up against one. Playtest out of the designer to check it.
