Made a tour on XBOX with the proper days in order. I'll do that for PS4-players when I find the time to setup. Will let you know (the name) when I've done it. Unlimited practice tour is now live for all PS4-players! Search for "Grand Epson - PS4 Practice Tour (Thu-Sun)" under "Tours". Enjoy!

This course is absolutely beautiful. It is very difficult but fair for the most part. Only gripe is one long 512 yard par four playing into the wind lol... still.. i can't fault it that much.
Wendy did an amazing job with this course and I would say it rivals Magnolia in difficulty. Bring your best putter because you need to be on your A game with this course.
One thing I was wondering if others have noticed this. Do the cups seem to have metal edges? I can't tell you how many I think are going in and roll completely round and come out another direction. I guess you gotta be dead center with any speed over hole speed. Either way, this is going to be fun. Once again.. great work Wendy.

Beautiful course! Still managed to shoot a pretty good score on Day 1. Looks like I brought my A-game.

Someone might want to take a look at HOLE #2 on Saturday. The hole is literally in the middle square of YELLOW on a slope. Having it be on a slope is one thing, having it be in the center of a FULL YELLOW slope seems a bit unfair. I was underneat the hole, putting 9 inches up, miss and it is back at my feet. I missed long, rolled back at my feet. There is no way to stop a ball short or just long on this slope.

There is another hole where the hole is on the edge of yellow grid. In this case I can deal with it as if you are below the hole you have to hit hole speed or it will roll down the yellow slope behind it. If you are behind the hole, you have to putt up the yellow slope and if you go by, it will roll a little way down but not far. Still #2 needs to be changed, it is worse than #15 on conservator club

It reminded me of skee ball. You keep tossing it up there until it goes in the hole. What if we put up the bat signal for Doyley to get his thoughts?

It reminded me of skee ball. You keep tossing it up there until it goes in the hole. What if we put up the bat signal for Doyley to get his thoughts? I have played all four rounds. All around it is a very fun course that requires you to plan shots. Tee shots that require a little to a lot of fade to get into the proper position or to go around a well placed tee to approach shots that require some thinking and a bit of creativeness if you want to get close to the pin. An example is the first par 3 on the front. I have played 3 different people and I have seen three different ways to go at that front left pin placement. Each attempt if executed properly yielded a makeable birdie putt. There are par 5s that you can reach in two and even get close, once again if you use the wind and a little shot shaping. In the fourth round I had one with a pin position in the upper right tier 248 out. The wind was tail at about 10 oclock. I could either play to try and hit in the rough and try to roll it on or i could play a high fade with a 5 wood. I chose the latter, barely hit the center of the green, rolled up the hill which fed a little towards the cup and ended up with a 18 footer for eagle. It is choices like these that make this course so good. There are a few holes with front pin placements with the green sloping away after the pin that force you to bounce a few times on the fairway if you want it close, but that is okay. Overall lots of fun. One last note. #17 for me is my nemesis hole. It requires a fade on the drive and for some reason i have issues with getting this one down the center. The 7 or so times I have played it i have averaged 4.5 strokes. It hurts. I must and shall conquer it.

Thanks for the nice feedback here guys, I can assure you I did not put holes on yellow slopes intentionally So this must be one of these random course changes that happen now and again ( I have had a lot of this with my courses on ps4)this is why I've stopped designing because of the courses shifting a lot after submitting

It's a moderately difficult 2 putt and and easy 3 putt. Nothing that will bother most of the pro tour players.

It is a weird position because from one view it doesn't show any yellow. From another angle it may show yellow on either side of the grid the hole is on and on another angle still .. it is dead in the center of a sea of yellow. I think hole #2 rendered weird for all your rounds because if you go back and play it (at least for me) your second shot you are never lined up with the flag and you have to adjust. It isn't a big deal just was something I noticed in each round and only on that hole, so I believe you are correct something happened to that hole after submission. Doyley is right, it is challenging but not impossible. People may have to practice it. Aside from that, the courses are wonderful and it is going to be fun and an honour to play them.

I tell you the more and more I play these courses with the different pin placements, the more and more I love them. Grand Epson is turning into one of my favourite courses out there. I probably won't hit top 10 or even top 30 but I still love it.
