Ppl didn't like redwood cause it's too long, yet ppl want longer courses, what gives? I don't know anything about Redwood, never played it. But I will give it a look, hopefully it isn't some extreme length thing. If it's within reason for video game purposes then it should be fine. People looking to score easier could be a portion of those complainers though. I'd have to look at the "why" of the complaints. Maybe I'll look at those after work tonight. Or maybe not, I'll just play and make my own conclusions (like I usually do  ) |

The problem with longer courses is the wind. You get in the face wind and people will say it's not realistic or fair etc. I would like the loft taken out of the loft clubs. So if I'm 18 yards, keep the distance at 30 or 45 and so we have to do a partial swing. That will make it tougher rather than lofting the club all the way to 20 and swing away at 100%. Same with the chip, don't have a 4YRD chip, a 5YRD chip, 6YRD chip etc. Maybe those aren't realistic things but it would make things tougher. In any event the top players will still be at the top and the bottom players will still be at the bottom. The gap might even get bigger when the game gets tougher.. I wonder if different pins would make it harder? I don't believe the reason for more difficult courses is to change the pecking order of who plays well or not. It's about getting the scores to a more reasonable level. |

But I couldn't say I wouldn't be happy if 65 was considered a great score..that would be awesome. |

Just have to make each hole tougher all the way around. Longer, tighter, more slopes on greens, more trees that play a factor. Ive made a course where I assure you nobody is shooting in the 50's on.

Far as the game, the game is perfect. They really hit a homerun with this game. Only way they would be able to take loft out the game is if they could slow the swing down cause has fast as the swing is I dont see no1 learning how to hit a 75% shot consistently.

I have never even played any amatuer tourneys they have on the game because I dont find it fun to birdie 15-18 holes a round. Im new to this website and like all the competition we have here but I really believe tougher courses that actually have bogeys and doubles looming everywhere would be more competitive. People would actually talk about that birdie or eagle on a hole thats tough. I cant be crazy to think that. Just because every hole aint easy birdies dont mean the course isnt realistic. Ive played courses in real life that has ate my lunch. I appreciate all the input from every1 also.

I think one of the problems might have been early on there were a lot of "not fair." Or "unrealistic slopes." Or "the pro's don't have greens like that." Of course I can't speak for any of this because I'm not shooting these low scores.. I would like to see where a great score/players shoots a 65 or a 62 with everything going perfectly. And the next tier people are shooting 68-69 where if things go perfect, they short a 65-66. And so on..but it's a video game, scores are always very low. I haven't seen a game where it wasn't like this.. |

Yea but what is so great about this game is that us the players can create the courses. So we can stop the 56 and 55s with proper editing.

I've seen hard course where others would shoot the -40's for a tournament. Maybe not a 55-56 but the good ones can still score. You don't want the slope so bad it's takes 4 putts to get in from 5 feet. |

Isn't it just possible to change the rules of the tournament? e.g. grid off, no scout camera, maybe even no wind display? That should bring the score down. But I think many people will complain on that.

Making the rough much more punishing around the greens would make the game alot harder. Make playing high loft out of heavy rough much harder by really narrowing the cone. Ball should not have silly amounts of spin coming out of it, it should be landing and rolling forward not grabbing and spinning backwards

Impossible to please everyone. By the way Taste.. I loved the Redwood courses with different pins etc.. Favorited the Thur - Fri courses.. And great win this weekend |

Turn off the elevation indicator (really wish it was possible). I can't see the lie of my ball that is right at my feet but I can sure as hell know how high that PIN is when I'm 180 yards away Making the elevation an "guesstimation" instead of the exact number to the foot would be a single-handed game changer lol. |

For me it would be great if the different tours would have different rules. The PGA Tour would have the most difficult rules with no grid, no scout and no wind display, the European Tour could add the wind display back again, the Web.com Tour add the grid back again and in the Champions Tour everything is available as it is now. I really would like it that way.
