Looking for people to tryout my newly published course called Cottonwood National G.C. This was my first time building a course and spent a pretty good amount of time on it. I wanted to build a challenging yet fun course and I think I accomplished that. My first round was a -7 with a double and another bogey scattered in there. I would love to hear some feedback from people who play it. Thanks!

Hey Bud, it would help you to get plays to post up some picks. otherwise this is likely to go unplayed.

Is there a way to post pics from ps4? Create a dummy twitter account and share them there. Then use your phone to grab the pic from twitter and put it on here with tapatalk. That's how I do it.

I'm building my first course right now, so I know how you feel. I'll definitely play it today and give you feedback. TTYS

Keep in mind, I'm a new designer myself, so I am no means an expert, but I have played a couple hundred courses now on TGC, so I hope my comments are constructive.
-take special notice not to have yellow grid lines within 9 squares of the hole as a good standard of practice. There were a few out there that had yellow. -be mindful of the "view" from the tee, as I noticed on several holes I was not able to see the hole at all. Blind shots are fine at times, but off the tee it really affects the aesthetic appeal. As an example, hole 4 is a beautiful hole, but from the tee I can't see anything but the mound right in front of the tee. -this might be hard to do, I'm not sure since I've never designed in desert terrain before, but try to keep the holes a bit farther away from the edge of the property, because the scout camera really picks up that line and it takes away from the realism a bit. -I'm not positive, so if I'm wrong please correct me, but the fairways had an autogen look to them, which is fine for learning the designer, but you'll really improve the uniqueness of your holes by creating your own shapes. Plus it will provide a more consistent look around your bunkers for you. -definitely watch CrazyCanuck or Scampi YouTube tutorials on bunker shaping (or every tutorial they have if you have time... I did, and it is immensely helping my design process) -the layout was pretty good, but I would try to include more variation in the holes so that a player gets to use all of their clubs. For example, there were 6 par 4s over 485yds, and three of them came in a row (11-13). Same with the par 3s, all were over 180yds. I would encourage reviewing ways other than length, to make the course challenging.
You definitely have some cool ideas, so I would highly recommend investing the hours it takes to watch those tutorials. You won't regret it.
I hope my review was helpful. I genuinely want to see your next design to see the progress you've made.

Karma, thanks so much for the screenshots! Vctry, I also appreciate the feedback. I wanted to design a course that would have a overall leader around -12 which is the reason for some long par 4s and long par 3's. Anymore feedback would from anybody would be great.
