Fort Lonesome Bay (Nine holes for Pandora 2 contest) being published, I decided to go further and to add 9 other holes to the design to provide a full 18 hole course with a higher standard. The 9 hole course is a short 3100 yds Par 34, the 18 hole course will be a 7000 yds Par 71 with some long and difficult holes. For those who know the 9 holes course, the extension takes place after the 4th green, comes back to the clubhouse at the 9th and connect to the old 5th tee, thus becoming the 14th. About the design , I tried to bring the less adaptation to the land which is quite hilly. This forces me to create some holes that I didn't consider and that's a lot of fun. Here is a first teaser showing the first tee and in the distance, the 5th fairway and the 7th fairway and uphill green. Dominique

The course is now fully routed and I'm rather satisfied of the way thins turn. I have added a super-back tee set to bring it to 7367 yds par 71. It's challenging, but the shorter tees can bring some fun to the players who fear the long courses. I have now to fine tune the greens and set the pins, test, and re-test and re-re-test and ... Here is a picture of the 9th which comes back to the clubhouse along the access road. A vrey classical long hole with a huge green. Dominique

Hi,
To anyone interested in testing and helping improve the course, there's a test version released under the (secret) name of FLB-18-Test. Thank you to those who will take a little pain to comment.
