Currently published: Magnolia National, Georgia (Sunday) - Not many changes from the Beta. Modified the lighting a bit to brighten things up. Did some slight work on the 1st hole and 1st and 2nd greens. Was able to free up the planting limit, so did some more planting around the clubhouse, 10th tee area, and the 18th fairway and added a few missing benches and trash cans. Magnolia National, Georgia (Saturday) - Changed all pin positions to Saturday locations. Modified some tees to change hole distances or shots. Overall, with a few longer tees and back pins, will play a bit longer than Sunday. Modified lighting to more of an afternoon feel, as opposed to late afternoon/early evening of Sunday. Magnolia National, Georgia (Friday) - Changed all pins. Lighting changed to mid-day, will be the brightest of all of the versions. Magnolia National, Georgia (Thursday) - Welcome to Thursday morning at the Masters! All new pins again, but not easier by any means. This one will actually play slightly longer than each of the other 3. Oh, and the best view of the 13th hole of any version in the morning sunlight. Magnolia National, Georgia (Casual) - Meant to be the most enjoyable to play. Nice and bright. Firmness is turned down just below medium, green speeds turned down from the max to somewhere around med-fast. Some tees are moved up where possible, and the pins for each hole will be the most forgiving that can be offered for that hole. Get out and enjoy being a member for the day! ProTee version will be sent over to the guys hopefully later today. Will be like the Casual version but all tees will be moved up to the member tees. 2015 Masters Tournament is up and running for PC and PS4. Will detail in a post below.

Something is wrong here. I normally shoot 8-10 under on golf course and that's just average rounds for me. If I play well I shoot 11-15 under and the rare occasions I catch fire it's even better. 3 practice rounds 7,8 & 9 under & I had to work to get those scores. Now today I got to play the official Sunday version. Didn't start off well , the wind gods was against me (had to play in 10-17 mph winds  Somehow manage to shot 7 under. Then it was off to the Friday version. Winds slightly better 7-13 but my score wasn't only 2 under I wish I could blame something for my bad scores(concrete greens, gimmicky set up but I can't). I think I played the courses well. The greens hold my shots well. The problem is if your slightly off on your approach a little left or right, short or long say goodbye to your ball. Your going to be left with a long putt or a chip, pitch or flop. I consider myself a good putter from 40 ft and in not so much outside of that. (Normally I don't have too many putts from that range) okay at chips but too many slopes in the greens to use this shot. I suck at short pitching ( except from 45-75 yards I do well) I flop very well but this shot can either hit you a great shot or a terrible shot on these courses. Next dilemma, my well hit approaches and I hit plenty of them  but then your left with testers very few gimmes on these courses. Every putt has some kind of break. I burn so many edges & also made some great putts. I love these courses but don't know if my blood pressure can handle them a lot of cursing playing these courses. Lol Off to play the Saturday version. Oh where's the Thursday version? BTW best dam courses in the game. I'm not going to quit playing these course until I post double digit under on all of them. |

I played the Saturday course and loved it. Could only manage even par as I took a triple on #5.
This course really makes you be precise with your approach shot. If you are just a little bit off it will roll away from the pin and leave you a long putt or chip.
Love this course, seems like a great version of Augusta.

Thursday version is up dlw, you might want to play the Casual version to get your confidence up, lol. I'm about to publish it now, Magnolia National, Georgia (Casual). It's a little softer and slower, with the easier/more fun pin positions on each hole. I think it will play quite a bit easier, but only time will tell. |

My barrage of published course is finished. I have created a Tour on both PC and PS4 called 2015 Masters Tournament. It's features 4 rounds, the Thursday-Sunday courses in order. It only runs for 5 days, as I didn't want to interfere with the TGC tournaments. So if you get a chance to give it a spin this weekend, it should be fun.
If anyone is on Xbox, please feel free to create one there, as well. No special settings, no handicap.

I hope he knows I'm joking. Finished the Thursday version. Had it to 10 under but putted my first putt off the green on 17 and made a bogey. Finished the round at 9 under. You created 1 masterpiece with 4 great pin positions. 4 10's and all of them favorites Deleted all other augusta versions off my favorite list. ( sorry Yeltzman ) Don't worry I'm going to shot double digit under on all of these versions. |

I see I'm going to have a love/hate relationship with these course. Lol After blowing my wad with a 16 under at Thursday came back to earth with a 3 under at Friday. Played tee to green almost as well but didn't putt well enough. Everything went in on thursday, Friday everything stayed on the edges. I can't say enough how well the greens came out on these courses. Fabulous job. |

but then your left with testers very few gimmes on these courses. Every putt has some kind of break.
