Could make it a sideways horseshoe. The problem with two greens for one hole is that if you do happen to end up on the wrong one, your only options, at least in this game, are either chipping from one green to the other(highly frowned upon) or taking an unplayable lie penalty to get off the green so you can chip out of longer grass. Neither one of those options sound like something I’d want to do especially in a competitive round. Your last sentence says it all. I want this course to be taken seriously and it is already playing difficult so I am going to throw out the dual greens and go with something traditional. Maybe a steep turtle back with those billiard ball bunkers surrounding it. I have demolished the 16th green as well and have come up with a couple drawings of those crazy French greens. Maybe. Thanks again and look for the Filly to open end of May. Cheers!

I’ll be sure to give it a run when you publish

Make that bunker smaller and connect the greens behind it. You can use that green behind it to pop up the back of the bunker and also use the bunker to sculpt the front part of the green inward. Creating a slope that would require a draw to the left side and fade to the right (for a right-handed golfer) where you're ball flight would carry over the bunker. You'd create a lion's mouth. There's a lot of good real world examples to look at. The back part of the green doesn't even have to be pin-able but I'd recommend having one there to challenge the bunker head on too.

I ended up trying that. I did a horseshoe, a donut and a kidney shape all with a bunker in the middle. I’m not good enough yet or the repeated sculpting of the area has messed me up. I can’t make anything pleasing to the eye. I went traditional green with those 6 cue balls re-laid. I threw 5 more up the left side of the fairway to give it some flair. I pushed myself on this course and ended up doing some things I never thought I could do. Don’t want to mess it up. It’s my second design and I think it’s good. I can’t wait until I start doing this on PC.
