As I used to do all my designing on PS4, I had to live with the character limit for course names that console allowed. Now that I am doing LiDar courses on the PC, it is my understanding that the allowable number of characters in the name is more. When I try to change the name of my courses in the designer it still seems to cut off at the shorter limit. What am I doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure it's the same character limit, regardless of platform. It's around 25 or so

Chad posted this on the HB forum in Feb,Can't help you about the download but it seems possible i am sure designers who have used LIDAR will help more Yes, you can use this to rename your course to the longer 32 characters: chadrockey.github.io/TGC-Designer-Tools/You can import .course file Change the course name in the field then click export .course file then move your new course back into your AppData/LocalLow/2K/The Golf Club/Courses folder This will let you use the full course name. HB has confirmed in the other thread this was an unintended change in only the Text Entry UI element in the game, so I don't anticipate any issues allow people to work around this until a patch drops. Always best to make a back up copy just in case is advice on another thread.

As always, Mr Yeltzman you are a font of knowledge both on this site and the HB site. Chad's method worked a treat! Much appreciated.

so that method is for LiDAR only? I don't think so. You have to import the course file into Chads Tool, but then you do not have to manipulate it or anything - just rename it and then export it back to your course directory. This does only work for PC though.

So if you go past the character limit, how does it all show up when you are on the course selection page?

Don't appear here very often but its very quiet at the HB forum at the moment so have been making a few more visits here just really for looking at courses to play.HB paul who used to be the knowledge on the designer said it was going to be fixed but not seen a word from him for ages not sure he is still there,glad it worked the advice.
