18 holes, par 72, 7300+ yards. There are 4 tee sets that use the tee manipulation trick, so each tee corresponds with a pinset:
White - Pin 1 Red - Pin 2 Black - Pin 3 Blue - Pin 4
Took inspiration for this one from a couple British heathlands courses, namely St. Georges Hill and Sunningdale. I wanted the purple heather in full bloom look, similar to this:

Well I shot 64 (29-35) so thankfully you mailed it in on the difficulty.
The routing is so good. Surprised at how simple you kept the planting but it actually works. The purple was meant to be the standout and you highlighted it by letting it speak for itself.
Par 5s were particularly fun. The greens are subtle. I hardly had a putt longer than 8 feet on the front nine (HA!) so I can't say whether those greens are good, but the back nine's were.
Group G is gonna be juicy.

As a person who has played some British heathland golf, this looks phenomenal. Can't wait to try this one out!
Blacktail Creek (DT 2024) - Team Matty (runners-up) The Hairy Lemon (collab with whodatmatt34) Old Kennebunk River (WCoD 2023) Jacquard Causeway (CC 2023) Elstead Heath GC Pequawket Basin GC (NT 2022, not good)
Don't think i have played an more enjoyable fictional course ever than this one, Love the look love the style My sort of lighting as well but to me the most important part how good was the golf and the setting just a fantastic course played so well. Also what i loved about this is the size and the positions of the bunkers just about perfect felt a couple might have been a bit clearer to see from the tee but overall if there was ever a course was designed for me to enjoy its this one Just stunning. I did play pin set 1 blue tee because i like to play the course before reading anything but it did not effect my enjoyment.

Really enjoyed the round Petty - kinda wish there was more heather, but didn't take away from a very well designed course. Nice work pal!

Same, same. Really wish there was a heather grass object that spread out further and closer to the ground that you can multiplant instead of having to bury trees and only show the tip top of them. I was in the high 90%'s on the meter already when I published and already worried about what kind of lag people might experience.
This is some low-key dope sh*t, bro. Props. Complete 180 from your DT course, but still very Petty. I don't have any comments about things I would have done differently. In fact... I think I am going to steal a couple of your ideas on my next course. Consider this post my "giving credit where it's due" post. Well done sir!
So damn pure. Loved every moment and a masterclass in sightlines and low-level sculpting. So immersive and for someone who gets a rep as not planting courses, this is beautiful.

Was half expecting another ancient civilisation inspired course here so really disappointed. Guess I'll just have to play a quality heathland track instead. Played this last night and echo the sentiments of others. 5-stars from me. Loved the lighting providing a very subdued colour palette very befitting of this type of course. Really immersive environment. The little pockets of purple heath off fairway and around bunkers provided enough pop of colour to keep the visual very interesting. The slightly brighter white sand (perhaps?) than usual on a course of this type also created a really good contrast. No one hole or holes stood out as favourites. Just a really cohesive design which "played real" which I love. Best of luck in the contest.

Another course to add in my short must play list of courses on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee. Great design, loved everything about this track. GL in the contest Mr. Petty,,,

stevehal20: Demonondalinks ..cheers mate.. I have my game swing and setup for Master. so playing a Master tour should not change my swing and Rhythm in my way of thinking? correct me if im thinking wrong

Demonondalinks: your tempo window for perfect is smaller each level you go up there for making it harder to obtain a perfect tempo consistently
May 15, 2024 5:38:02 GMT -5
stevehal20: surely for those who play with controllers it doesnt change at all?
May 14, 2024 22:39:40 GMT -5
stevehal20: Can anyone here tell me why my swing dynamics change when i play master or above? I play with a mouse on PC and my swing is perfect tempo. why does it change so badly when i go up a level or two?

sroel908: Nope, like you said...default is whatever the designer sets the green speeds to. That can be any number from 104 to 186.

meunier33: I thought default meant exactly between moderate and fast

sroel908: Exactly, 158 is the designer-set default speed for Pine Lake CC (Michigan).
