Brand new member and I guess designer. I am close to publishing my first course and though I have spent more hours than I like to admit on this boreal theme I cannot figure out water hazards. Found OB splines and brush. No issues there. But when I play test myself into a body of water the game is giving me point of entry( sometimes) or re-hit option but no penalty stroke. Please help!

Is this in a published course or just play testing In The designer?

Haven’t published. Just play testing.

I’d be guessing that it doesn’t apply the penalty until you publish. Providing the OOB is set correctly but this is just a guess

I think you answered my question. I wasn’t clear in my original post. I have splined my OB areas OB but not the water hazards. Do I make the water OB as well? And if so will the game still give you the point of entry option? I just might go ahead with it and see what happens. If you have any more suggestions they are appreciated.

That didn’t work. Still not having a penalty stroke. I assume it will trigger when I publish it. If anyone can confirm this it would be great. I don’t want my first course unplayable. I have searched you tube and this forum and can find nothing on the subject.

You can always go back to your course and come to it then publish it properly later

Also u don’t have to set OB in the hazard. The water is the penalty.

A few things:
First, you don't need to do anything special to mark water. The game will handle water the way it thinks water is supposed to be handled (which isn't always ideal, but that's another matter).
Second, if you mark a water body as out of bounds, the water will supersede the out of bounds, meaning that you may not have to rehit from the previous spot.
Lastly, the designer doesn't count strokes very well, but ball placement is just fine. During gameplay, the strokes will be handled correctly. I don't know of any instance where a penalty stroke was not counted.
If you want to test how the course is going to play, you can play your course using the "create match" option. When you choose a course, find the filter marked "My Unpublished Courses" and you can play it from there.

Thank you Oscar and Erixon. Moving forward now. I think I will stake the water hazards for aesthetics but other than play testing it all day tomorrow I am done. Publish Sunday. I will put it in the thread for published courses as well. Thanks again.
