Pebble Beach - not approved While I can sort of see the resemblance to the real holes, the sculpting and surface work is just too rough. An unrelated side note to the creator: There's nothing wrong with trying to recreate real courses. But if you're going to do a world famous one that everyone recognizes, sure it's an easy way to get some plays, but you also have to deal with the massive expectations the average player will have, and they'll notice any mistakes you made along the way more than an original creation. If that's your thing, go for it, but these are huge undertakings in order to do them justice. Friendbomber has an awesome Pebble Beach RCR if you wanted a great example, and I think he said that it took him hundreds of hours to do. For new designers, I think the "inspired by" is a much easier way to get your feet wet and learn from real-life designs without the need to try and match up all the little details.

It would appear that there are a lot of courses that have been approved which all follow a very similar and boring theme . Narrow , winding fairways with lots of bunkers either side of run off areas from the fairways , ridiculous , unrealistic undulating greens , and lighthouses and rainbows . Note to course designers .. lighthouses and rainbows do not make courses challenging and fun . Courses with character are what this game needs , not boring , flat narrow courses with the only defence of the course being a narrow fairway and a ridiculous amount of undulations on greens . This does not make a good course , because there are hundreds and hundreds of examples of this type . Note to designer ... make a course that makes the player think about their shots , do not try and make it unplayable , on the contrary , it should be a challenge that you should want to play over and over again . Not be glad when it’s all over . So please stop designing courses with narrow fairways and ridiculous greens . There are many examples of classic courses that have character , but it seems that is not acceptable on this game . Give me a poor Pebble Beach , rather than a boring , ridiculous , unrealistic , tedious course . St Andrews has 100 yard wide fairways , but it’s always a challenge , just saying

I don’t have time to design courses , I barely have time to play this game , so when I do play , I want to enjoy the game. I am in no way trying to offend course designers , what it seems by reading which courses do not get approved , is that designers are trying to be creative , but for whatever reason , they are not being approved . But creating a course with narrow fairways and undulating greens is not the answer to a good golf game. That ship has long since sailed. If I do find a spare 200 hours in my life to design a course , it will not have narrow fairways and ridiculous greens , it will be challenging with character . Thank you

Just be greatful people do design courses so you can play this game at all.
Those that ranger the courses do so to ensure there is not outrage in the forums by weeding out courses that are not tour worthy.
You should show some respect to those that put the time and effort into TGCT so that we all have a place to play.
Not convinced you are a serious poster or contributor here looking at your previous posts it suggests you’re taking the piss. Either way what you are saying is off the mark.

You are fully entitled to your opinion about my post , just like I am entitled to my opinion about the similarity of hundreds of courses on this game . As I said , I am not on here to disrespect course designers . I guess this conversation should end because you don’t agree with my comments and I don’t agree with yours , and I have made my point , and nothing you can say can make me change my opinion about the tedious amount of boring courses that have been accepted on this game . Tiger had around 20 courses , all classic ... sometimes , just sometimes ... less is more

So that the conversation is productive give 1 example of a non approved course that you think should have made the cut.

By you reading the previous 34 pages in this post should give you your answer . Look , my point can be simplified by giving an example . I’m guessing you play golf games , I’m guessing you’ve played St Andrews and Pebble and Sawgrass and Spyglass , many many times , but , at the St Bedes course in q school , there were lots and lots of players saying that they would NEVER play that course again. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kind of complaint about the courses that I formentioned. And St Bedes is narrow , with ridiculous greens . Hope that simplifies my original post . Have a good night . Take care

Wait a minute, there's rainbows? Is that part of the global assets in the new patch? Does anyone know if we're getting unicorns?
