First attempt at a links course. Par 71, 3 tees, 4 pins. Default settings are fast green speeds, moderate green firmness, max fairway firmness and roll. However, after publishing, I found that for some reason the fairway firmness had reset to soft as the default setting. I'm told this is a known bug which occurs with the highland theme. So check the course conditions before playing. Enjoy!

I enjoyed this one, also, bonus points to the few of you out there that design on a switch.

That you planted this on a Nintendo Switch is amazing. Job well done theboldb. I think this may be worth WhatAboutAmeobi checking out soon to provide you with some feedback.

Funny you should mention that, @mctrees02 ...

Looking forward to watching the stream. Haven't been able to catch the last few live, but always appreciate the comments from all the guys.

WhatAboutAmeobi Thanks for the playthrough. You were very generous with your critique and I found your comments helpful as always. Funny you should mention not liking the rough around the bunkers... honestly that was just a choice... nothing yo do with being on switch. Its actually a LOT more work to have rough surrounding the bunkers... I spline most of them anyway. I prefer having no rough but fir the sake of visibility I included it. I probably won't if I attempt another links course. Pot bunkers are another story... the trouble with pots is that if you don't put rough round the edge they look like smooth bowls in the land and are quite hard to see from the tee. The rough is an attempt to approximate the sod wall... but admittedly it doesn't work well.

theboldb do you have that weird sculpting glitch where the water level rises? An easy fix for sure, but it's a little strange. Course looks nice man!

I certainly do have a glitch where the view changes so it looks like you're looking at the water table with the land at height zero. The only fix is to use a feature which touches the land in some way, like a flatten tool or planting an object or spline. The glitch occurs almost every time I exit from the land sculpt menu.

Yup, same here.

I caught Wayne's twitch recording late last night and saw matty say something like "switch designers get a pass on a lot of things" and I think he's right! It's not necessarily harder on switch, its just very slow and more buggy than the experience of others. I find that once any of my meters reach 50% it really starts grinding. If more than one gets past 50% then it can take about 39 secs to plant one object! Salters Crest is only about 68% on the object meter... I couldn't bring myself to do any more!

Having previously designed on PS4, I fully appreciate how tedious planting can be late in the process ... I can only imagine how painful it is on Switch ...

Hoping to get a series x some time this year. That was my thought! I'm very tempted... won't be on Switch for much longer!
