Kinross & Loch Leven Good morning. Is it possible to get some feedback as to why the course was not accepted so that I am able to improve future efforts?

Kinross & Loch Leven Good morning. Is it possible to get some feedback as to why the course was not accepted so that I am able to improve future efforts? Played a few holes here on Pin 1, default settings. Right off the bat, sculpting is clearly a bit of an issue. Hole 1's fairway is extremely sloped in places, and the centerline hazard is not visible off the tee. The planting in the bunker there is also a bit odd. Hole 2...the bunkers need a bit better sculpting here. Also, Pin 1 is smack-dab in the middle of a yellow-orange slope on default 142 green speeds. This means the hole location is "illegal" per TGCTours guidelines. In most cases, the 9-box grid around a cup should have no non-green slopes in it. Hole 3...there's a retaining wall right in the landing zone of driver here. Very strange. The seaside sculpting is again harsh and looks odd, as the terrain is just bare and steep - straight into the water. Hole 4...routing here is quirky. Not sure how you get to the green from the tee without risking death on the cliffs, or getting peppered with shots walking back across Hole 3 green! Anyway, through those first few holes, it's fairly clear that sculpting, planting, routing, and hole design need some work. Check out the video in the first post of this thread for more details, and watch design tutorials from the likes of CrazyCanuck1985 and b101 if you haven't.
