I created this course a while ago during a period of COVID lockdown (hence the name) and would like to boost its exposure and hopefully get it added to the tournament list. Best described as a tree lined links course (if there is such a thing!) and theres a chance for a 10 second hang time drive on the seventh.....

At my office I'm known as the "King of Dad Jokes" so I love your course name. Well done!

Absolutely loved the name and love me a good links, so I went in with high hopes. Unfortunately, the golf course didn't deliver. I played it in stream so feel free to check the play through out, but the main takeaways were: way too many blind shots, elevation changes were too severe, next to no ground game on a course describing itself as a links (most approaches were forced carries). The environment down by the beach was awesome and the course textures really fit the style of a links, so I feel that you've got great courses in you!
I'm not sure how experienced you are with the designer, but it would probably be worth checking out crazycanuck1985's design tutorials, and b101design's tutorials as a starting point.
If you do check out the VOD, make sure to watch the 2 courses I play after yours to see what kind of courses it's possible to design in this game. Jen's Pointe and Coos Golf Grounds were amazing!

Thanks for your feedback which I’ll take on board. The elevation changes are intentionally exaggerated as, well, why the hell not! 😆 I like a course with a few wow factors chucked in rather than too straight and steady. I am however considering a “real” course design, so there’s scope to satisfy the purists.
