My build (still under construction) of the Redan template on my upcoming course... Very cool! Love Redans. Classic.

Today's cool golf architecture photos of the day! The famous 6th at Riviera. Thankfully, it hasn't been changed through the years. I'm guessing you have an affinity for the original classic designs of certain courses built during the "golden age" of GCA, and their evolution through the years (good and bad). I think you might find this pretty interesting; it's a study of Perry Maxwell's Dornick Hills course, with accompanying original photos from the 20's-30's and sketches by the designer. The author really does a top-notch job of describing every aspect of the course's design, strategically and aesthetically, and of the designer and how Maxwell's view of GCA evolved. I found it fascinating.

A hole design that is pretty much extinct in today's world of course architecture. I'd love to see more of these in the future.

Today's cool golf architecture photos of the day! The 18th of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass when it first opened. Pity they sanitized it, indeed.

A flyover of my latest course. The course itself is a fictional version of Seth Raynor's Camargo Club.

For some reason, randomly thought of a course in the area around where I grew up that was built about a year or so before I left for college. It was an exclusive course, entry fee was something like $70k, and I never was able to get my way in for a round. So, I looked it up, and wow - just take a look:

Today's cool golf architecture photos of the day! Carnoustie back in 1931! A little throwback to the last designer series event... Don't build possible lakes into your greens, otherwise competitions/players might have to deal with this The third picture is my favorite with the players looking down in bewilderment. Carnoustie gets a break cause it's something like a half century old. Thankfully, we won't be seeing any puddles this week.... Quite the opposite!!! Happy Open Week!

Hey guys I'm a crappy designer but always loved reading tidbits on the architecture behind it. Much respect for everyone here that puts in work so we can play great courses. Quick question for the designer community. You guys ever check out golfclubatlas.com for inspiration? And if so, which RCR that hasn't been done properly needs to be done in 2019?

Quick question for the designer community. You guys ever check out golfclubatlas.com for inspiration? And if so, which RCR that hasn't been done properly needs to be done in 2019? This question will be pretty subjective based on who you ask. I think the general crowd will point towards courses on tour or on TV that aren't in the game. In that sense I tend towards to lean towards major venues, and the two that stick out off the top of my head are Royal Portrush (pretty sure this hasn't been done) and The Country Club in Brookline. As far as design inspiration goes, though, I think people who design in the game need to see some courses that likely won't ever be on tour, but are top of the line in terms of either classic or modern design. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but these are courses I've looked at and for sure would love to see in the game: Cal Club Eastward Ho Sand Hills Philly Cricket Myopia Hunt Club Pacific Dunes Whippoorwill Bandon Trails Pasatiempo Moraine CC Old Sandwich Somerset Hills Essex County Club Calusa Pines Friar’s Head Sand Valley

Hickory Creek pulled a fair amount of inspiration from Forest Creek, minus a little different setting. I planned on a more water-heavy course from the start, but after the basic layout was already done, I stumbled on Forest Creek and pulled a lot from it for the style.
