Yes, exactly this. Sometimes, if you just lay down the surface, you get a weird transition where the edge of the fairway just drops off. This happens because the designer auto-levels the fairway and greens, but not the rough or heavy rough. hmmm ok. Interesting. Not sure I’ve seen it but it’s orobably on my course It's very noticeable when left untouched on courses that don't use splines. The addition of splines has pretty much removed this need for me.

It has no impact on play but the thing that is currently annoying me at the moment is seeing fastflowing rivers feed into lakes that have no exit point. The course would be flooded in a couple of hours. I've seen at least three in the National Treasure comp.

I've seen at least three in the National Treasure comp. 100% of all courses who use waterfalls have either this issue or the fact the water comes from absolutely nowhere. I personally think the opposite is more annoying as there can be exit points below the surface. I guess we both just need to let this one go

I guess we just accept that there are some bloody big pumps hidden on the plot somewhere!

The best thing about video games is that they transport you to a world that wouldn't possibly exist. It's hard to create believable rapids, but they look and sound cool, so just run with it.

Problem with rapids is, they cause lag if used too often or if they are big. I just rangered a course that had noticeable lag on the two holes that had massive waterfalls posing as rapids. I've seen courses where a more conservative approach to rapids has really been breathtaking - and no lag.

I love the look and sound of rapids, but yeah, they cause serious lag problems.

My advice... just don’t turn on the designer this causes life to change, no more time for anyone or anything else lol. In seriousness I’d suggest not trying to do everything on one course don’t jam pack a course with every idea you have it becomes overdone, some signature holes are nice but one after another gets to be overdone, examples could be tiered greens, elevated tees, rocks or extreme planting on every hole a waterfall for every view etc etc let the course come naturally.

What I done whilst designing a course and still do now is check the Courses Not Accepted To TGC Tours thread. As it gives you an idea of what not to do and suggestions to solve the problems.

Oh aye don't publish a course until you've checked the fairway and green firmness and green speeds, I've done that one.

You need to pick a speed (and firmness) then design to it. Not the other way around. If you design and playtest greens at 155 but change them to 170 later, there will be playability problems.

Additional to that the colours on the slopes will change definately.
