This is my fourth course. I learned a lot through designing this one and received a lot of great feedback along the way. Thank you hallzballz6908 for your in depth play through notes you gave me, they helped a lot! (The tee shot on hole 6 ended up being one of the three pictures used for the database, excellent idea). Thanks LucasEatWorld for playing the beta on your stream and HoneyBadgerHacker as well, you guys gave me plenty of great feedback to work with. Thanks to everyone else that played the beta too, appreciate it. Tecumseh Hills is set on Long Island, NY. I took inspiration from Shinnecock Hills and Friar's Head, but it's mostly my own ideas. It's a links course featuring sandy dunes and waste areas throughout. The layout is inspired by the original Lido design, the front nine wraps around the outside of the back nine. The front plays to 3,524 yds from the Blue tees, the back is 3,399 yds for a 6,923 yd par 71. With the default settings the course plays fairly easy if you hit the generous fairways. The greens can be turned up to very fast and crank up the wind to make the links course by the water more difficult. Special thanks to jayraygun for making an awesome logo for me! Would appreciate any and all feedback. Still working at getting better with the designer and any little things would help. Hopefully you enjoy your round!

Just got done with my round an enjoyed it very much! I liked the changes that you made from the beta. I shot 65 on pin two with an 🦅 on the much improved short par 4 12th! Thanks for including me in the design process of this track. Excited to see what you come up with next!

Agree with Hallzballz much improved from the beta. Enjoyed my round. Planting that was done was pretty good. Wish there were more of it on a few holes especially on the back. Nothing bad to say at all. Keep it up!

I honestly think HoneyBadgerHacker that's the biggest area of improvement for me. Planting and framing holes with the planting. Something I think you are very good at. I'm gonna keep the next course a bit more traditional too as far as strategy. I've been trying out some different hole strategies on these past few courses. Not sure if they're being received as well as I'm hoping. I want to create my own unique courses and holes, but all of the best architects copied from the other better architects to some extent so there's nothing wrong with it. I'm also finding it quite difficult to create hilly courses with great lines of sight from tee to green. Probably going a bit flatter with the next course too. Try something a bit different. Glad you guys enjoyed your rounds at Tecumseh Hills!

Great course Andy. he lack of plays and traffic here seems criminal. I thought he course played very good and I really enjoyed the layout and what you did with it. This will be course #3 on Band of Brothers Friday around kicking off around 8:30pmEST. I will let you know who streamed here in case you want to catch the rounds and the live multistream will be in the shout box when we start. Great job and hopefully we can drive up some plays here.

Thanks rhino4life, appreciate it. I got married yesterday so I wouldn't have been able to watch the stream, but thank you for the support. It would be nice to see the course get handicapped. I know the planting isn't tour worthy caliber, but I think the course itself is. Very happy with how the course plays. Glad you enjoyed your rounds!
