Hey everyone! Back after a long time since my last design. Just released my new course Hochgarten GC.
This is a fictional course located in rural Switzerland. The course plays pretty flat so no huge elevation changes. Holes are pretty long though, so expect a decent challenge on your rounds from the back tees (7639 yards total). Most of the course navigates in the woods, so trees are definitely a factor. I spent a great deal of time on detailing and planting the course to give it a nice aesthetic look for a better overall experience. The course is first and foremost intended to look and feel like a true golf course.
Theme used is Swiss. The course is a 18 hole par 72 and includes four tee and pin sets as usual. Please enjoy your round and let me know what you think in the comments!

Some really nice looks out there! Well done on the environment, you can tell there was some time spent getting it just right. Enjoyed the course as well, my two notes would be that the par 3's were pretty much all the same length, and it felt like almost every fairway was pinched right at 290. Otherwise, really nice work bud. Cheers.

Ripper course. Loooong but enjoyable. I played in high winds so had to leave plenty of room to let the wind do it's thing. The plot looks good in the valley i.imgur.com/VLn7wRT.jpgThe village along a fairway also looks good i.imgur.com/TL9qyPn.jpgI'm a big fan of the range with that fencing i.imgur.com/uQF1W9V.jpgThe covered pool out the front is a great idea in that weather. I lost my mind on the 3rd with a 4 putt. I like the fairway tree on 5. The 11th caught me out with a black slow into the rocks. The 16th looks great with the concrete spillway running from the green into the water. Played the ground game on 17 and took advantage of the rocks for a 352m drive but finished in the first cut so didn't qualify for long drive. The planting is wonderfully done and completes the picture of this great Swiss course.
