Dang man, this course looks like a classic design. Keep us updated! . I put out some new progress photos. Please let me know what you think.

They all look really good, I'm very impressed with your progress here. The only thing that caught my eye was the ridge to the right of hole 8 before the fairway. I might use the softest fuzzy circle to sculpt that a bit more. The left side doesn't bother me, but the right side kinda looks like a spine or vertebra, and I think I would smooth that a bit more and bring the slope down into the middle a bit more so that the approach to the fairway doesn't appear to be just pressed into the earth. Just my initial impression when I saw it.

Looks like those hills need some sloping, looks way too symetrical to me, other than that everything else looks great

Just my initial impression when I saw it. . Thank you. I'm starting to get more comfortable with the designer tools. And yes, it is funny you mention the mounding on 8. I spent some time on that last night. As I looked at the pictures after I posted, it became apparent that they did not at all look natural to the surrounding terrain. I have them softened up and more contoured to the area now. I am going to work on the last of sculpting bunkers and then give the greens a last look see. The course does not play too difficult from tee to green ( at least it shouldn't for all you good players). So, I looking to have the greens be the bigger test....but not be ridiculous. They need to tough but fair and realistic. I've been looking at the greens on the courses I play a lot more to get better ideas.

I was hoping to get a little feedback.. Back to the drawing board I guess. Don't rely too much on other people's thoughts and opinions, you'll stifle your own creativity and idea's. Design the course for yourself first until you are very happy with the end product.

Sounds fantastic, keep it up! . Ok... I started over thinking this one. I published the 9 holes I have completed. Autumn Hills (Front 9). I hope it looks and plays well. I have some ideas for the back 9, if the front 9 is worthy of continuing.

I have some ideas for the back 9, if the front 9 is worthy of continuing. OK....Need some expert advice. I am running into a potentially serious issue with the course. I'm on hole 12, laying down fairway and have come across a problem with terrain. There is a rather large area that will not let me put fairway down. I have deleted everything in that area that I can think of. I am able to put green, rough, heavy rough, and bunker down in that area... not fairway. It is right in the path of the hole. I tried looking for an alternate route and hole configuration, but it will not work for what I am doing there. I'll get a few pics to show what I am talking about. I was just wondering if you (or anyone else) may have run into this before? I was starting to get motivated on this one again, and Course Designer said...hold my beer.

This is where you need to use the red sculpt brushes. If you raise up the terrain with the red brush you should be able to lay your fairway and do your fine sculpting with the blue brush. I had to ask the same question when I was starting!

What Dan said is correct. Put a red sculpt brush over that area of fairway and raise it 1 or 2 inches at a time until you get the surface to appear. The fairway that you laid down is actually there, you just can’t see it. It will start to appear once you gently raise the land up with red sculpting, then you can go back and blue sculpt it.

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely try that. I already tried the blue brushes with no luck. Here is what I was talking about. Wierd, I can laydown all other surfaces, but not fairway. I posted pictures to Dan's comment. Thanks guys!!! Some more progress pics to come.

Few more progress pics. Took very good notes from the playthrough that VctryLnSprts did for me on the front nine. Less shadows, and smaller greens...hopefully not too small. Hole 10.... 11 is in the back ground and 12 will be coming back on the other side of the pond. Still have tons of contouring and finishing to do. Tee shot from 11 working on the 12th green...not sure about this shape yet. need to get. From behind 11 green.

What I do to avoid that issue with placing fairway is flattening the entire plot with an oversized raised red brush as soon as I open a new plot. The game thinks the areas that aren’t filling with fairway are below the water table because the level of terrain that’s affected by the red brush (which isn’t visible) is below the table.
In a pinch, such as if you’re worried that using the red brush could mess with your sculpting, spline fairways do work in these areas, though it takes a while to fill them using splines.

That worked. Thanks again for the advice. I have the hole laid down now and can move forward.

A few more progress photos. Did a little reworking of 13 fairway. Stille needs fisnishing touches though. Started laying out 14. There will be a fairway bunker in the large landing area in front of the green that will take away the easy run up to the green. Started to work on some of the revisions to front nine from the playthrough feedback I recieved from VctryLnSprts. A look at the revised tee shot look on #1. Also started revisions to #3, also from the playthrough feedback. The soon to be famous...Nesbit tree on #3! I am also going to redo a goo portion of the greens on the front nine...A look at the new #3 green.
