Played it last night. Very cool environment. Great waste areas. Loved the lumpy bumpy fairways. Started out really hot and a couple lucky bounces for -5 on the front before cooling off and holding there the rest of the way. Good luck!

Great course Jeremy, does remind me of Necedah. Here's my round played true sim style, range distance only but with green grid on. Good luck in the contest

Excellent design here, Jeremy. That bunkering looks infinite nd must have somewhat tedious to put down throughout. The course plays perfect to the conditions that are set and the medium size greens fit the contours beautifully, you reward good shots within a decent margin of error.
Hole 4 is a great little spin on the C&C template that they usually feature as a par five, it works very well as a long four. Maybe this wasn't inspired by the C&C template but I have my suspicions... Hole 8 plays pretty brutal for a double plateau sort of hole, great angle in the green that gives players a chance to get close to pins using the slopes. Hole 15 is a gorgeous par three. A joy to look at from the tee, very inviting, couldn't wait to hit the ball. Great contouring that provides top tier pin spots. Hole 16 had nice Punchbowl/Alps vibe to it, sort of reminded me the NGLA Alps but in reverse. Pretty tricky green if you play up the short right side of the fairway giving a blind shot into a green that lost slopes away from you. Hole 18 is a top way to finish giving players a chance to score one on the finisher. I've always admired a par three finish.
Another 5 star course to the portfolio and a solid entry into the major competition. I finished up -6 in the end and would put the course in the med/hard difficulty category. Great width matched by fitting green size and conditions. Appreciate that you didn't go ott with the pins on pin 1 putting them too close to slopes and tiers. 10/10.

Very solid design. Definite major course. The texture work is what you would expect from other Mayo designs. The greens were interesting, in that the greens looked more undulating had relatively easy pin positions, but the greens like looked less undulating were brutal. Great job sir!

Great course as I finally got a round here tonight and understand why its in the top 5 in the contest. Its a beauty. Wondering why no one though has mentioned the scoreboard on 18 off to the right. Never ever seen that before and wondering if its available in the designer why others have not used it. It was so cool to come to the finishing hole and see a scoreboard with names and scores even though they were fake and static. Would be so cool to have them live in 2k21, maybe it will be one of the new features. Anyways, thanks for another awesome course Mayday.

hoosier404 appreciate it! What Terry said, that's a whole bunch of yellow stakes buried in that scoreboard.

Any plans to port this to 2k21? It's such an awesome course.
