Ported over my version of Baltusrol Lower Course, Springfield, NJ - host to 7 US Opens, 2 PGA Championships and 4 US Amateur Championships. www.baltusrol.org/Find it as "Baltusrol Lower PGA16" in game!
This layout is the Championship set up stretching to 7423yds and playing to a par of 70. The front nine is a stern test, but scoring opportunities open up on the back. Other versions may be released if there is demand, but this one is championship tees only to provide fair course rating. Screenshots from TGC2, this championship version has no light rough. Enjoy! ![](https://i.postimg.cc/3JNn5Fcr/Overview.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/0jWnKzbq/image.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/sfwwNNK0/12_green.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/WzbS4Gpn/18_2d.png)

I played today this course, while i'm looking for those courses not reported in the TGCT2019 list that i'll report into a list i'm working on. I just wish to tell you that your course is really a beauty. And a very scrupulous recreation in every aspect, for what i can see. Comparing it with the course's map, i had the doubt he could be made with the Lidar, looking at the precision of everything. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Amazing. Really. I see you created also the Tobo GolfKlubb for TGC2. There is some chance to port it in TGC2019? Anyway, i wish just to say that i really appreciate your effort.

Thank you! Appriciate the comment!
This was done the old fashioned way, tracing with google maps overlay and roughly elevated based on google earth. Then fine sculpted based on pictures and video.
Tobo was made way back in TGC1 and has some pretty bad design process issues that I’d like to fix if I port it and I don’t have the time for that currently as new job keeps me busy. It’s my Swedish home course, so if I do it I’d like to do it right...

Holy words. Sadly i never played it, cause TGC2019 is the first game of this franchise i play, but i'm playing just in these days some other Swedish course (vallentuna, bro hof slott and taby) and i really love the flow and the atmosphere of these courses. Generally speaking, i wish to see every good real course from every country, every continent, in this game. They are so many gems, just laying and waiting to be recreated and loved here ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Nice! Bro Hof is at a different level IRL, top course in Sweden and one of few that hold modern Championship standard!
Vallentuna is actually the home course of MikeMike, the designer of those. You should really play his Kungsangen as well - superb course.

I did it! Just forgot to mention it. I'm looking, in my research, mainly (but not only) for the real courses we have from Europe and other continents. I hope it could helps who wants to create schedules using courses from various countries. Roughly, we have something as 300 real courses in game. Maybe 400. A great number of these courses are semi-unknowns and severely underplayed. Obviously, a good number of them are just lookalike courses, if not fictional at all, or anyway they're simply not accurate enough to be considered "real" courses recreations, so I started to check every course, just to give this kind of information to anyone could be interested. it will requires time. For sure. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) But i'm happy, doing so.. And it's also already paying some dividend, cause I already found some real hidden gem.

I agree many are underplayed - mostly due to HB having a really bad interface for highlighting worthy courses. Most people that own the game are not on the forums where the good courses can be found and are stuck playing mediocre courses that in turn means that their experience with the game is severely hampered.
