Course is coming along very nicely! I think you made the right choice with theme, the setting looks really fitting for the irl look. Keep it up! Ya definitely was the right choice, been watching as much footage as possible and I can definitely get away with using mulch as the desert based on the firmness of the desert so your shots should only really be hindered roughly 10% as opposed to the variables of 10 - 50% if I used the bunkers. Its also a completely different colour/texture to the bunkers so wanted to create that separation. A lot of thought went into it 😂😂 Will have a front 9 beta published soon for testing. Greens are going to be slick but not unplayable Really like the color contrast between the sandy bunkers and the sandy (mulch) desert areas!

How are you getting on with Royal County Down Good, ive just been in testing out textures, doing a small bit of mapping out of the layout just to get the course flow accurate. Once ive the front 9 of the Emirates done and a beta of that published im going to get to work on the front 9 of RCD in full flow. Want to publish them both back to back when completed Thanks mate looking forward to both courses

Cheers Jeff, was a bit nervous at the start with going down that road using mulch but it gives the most realistic play so really happy with it overall. Need to try work on the edges though to try give that sandy look but thats for polish time

A little play test video of this 3 hole stretch ive been working on. Its the 13th - 15th at Emirates GC, The Majlis Course.
Not the finished product by a long shot, still trying to get that 15th green right but all going well could have a full 18 hole beta ready in the morning and once thats out there ill be getting to work on the polishing and finer details of the course.

Beta published this morning for the Majlis Course, Emirates GC. It comes with its faults for sure but then again thats kind of the point with a beta. A few very late changes to the front of the 16th & 18th somehow caused a little issue for the pin on both greens so excuse the yellow lines there. Have also been watching some footage of the Dubai Desert Classic this morning which gave me a good idea of what and where needs to be tidied up, some fairways and the rough lining the fairway needs work on some holes in the front 9 but welcome all feedback guys.
