Hello everybody, as some of you may know there are two things from Scotland that I love. links golf and single malt whisky. I hadn't designed a links course yet, and that was something I really wanted to do. And now, I finally did it, i just finished my first try at a traditional scottish links championship golf course. Till now. I decided to pay tribute to one of my favourites single malt distilleries, Laphroaig, and used its name for my first links. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I did while I was creating it. The course features four pins per hole and five tee boxes measuring: Red: 6691 Blue: 6897 Gold: 7038 White: 7234 Black: 7387 I want to thank, amongst others B.Smooth13, joegolferg and VctryLnSprts for a few reasons

As Terry says, not on PC yet. The beta is there but not the final version. Courses published on console are still taking some time to show up on PC. It is what it is. Cheers.

Very impressed with this one Pablo, it goes to the top of the list for best courses by you. Very good tee game on this course, plenty options and the uncertainty for TST players is also a massive plus. General sculpting is clean and the greens are to that consistent Pablo standard. The fairway bunker on 8, if that's an intentional principals nose bunker, very well done ☺. Things that I'd have improved/liked to have seen would have been more flat bottomed pot bunkers, and less depth in some of the existing bunkers. Overall this course is to the top of your standards and of a high standard within the design community. Well crafted mate. 👍

Hey people, if you find the course too firm or fast or long I just released the members version of the course, which plays softer, slower and shorter.
Enjoy Laphroaig (members)

Played the tour version yesterday with Art Vandelay . I have to say this course did not disappoint! Some really cool holes and very immersive Scottish links environment. I especially liked hole 18. Beautiful view. Some might argue that the bunkers are too deep but the ones I went in did not take anything away from the round. I thought the course played just fine. I appreciate the pot bunkers being very penalizing! Well done, Pablo! Instantly one of my favorite courses I've played on this game.

I think this is a great course, it's got the bumpy links fairways and good sized greens. The deep bunkers are part of a links course and I don't mind them at all. I played it on tour clubs and scored -6, not bad for a second outing on them.
