Hey guys.
I just finished up Gator Isles Golf Resort. I tried to replicate what a tropical all inclusive and all island golf resort would look like with over 1000 yards of beaches.
Par 72 at just over 7400 yards from the tips. Can play shorter depending on some decisions.
Gold, Green, and Red Tees.
2 tempting high risk high reward drive-able par 4's.
2 of the 4 par 5's can be reached in 2 depending on the wind.
1 par 3 is very short.
Some areas are flat and wide open, others are tighter with elevation changes.
Some greens are smaller but plenty of opportunities for straight putts on every hole.
Enjoy the scenery.
Can someone suggest a better way than taking a picture of my TV and putting it on the computer? Would like to be able to post some higher quality photos than my last post. I use Xbox.
I would appreciate a play and any feedback or suggestions for improvement.
Thank you.

I normally just take screenshots by pressing the Xbox button then the Y button. I try to do it during the flyover so there's less of the Hud stuff on view. Then I'll upload it to Xbox live and then on my phone just go to XboxClips.com and search for my username there and you'll get your screenshots there.
Just select your screenshot then press on it and select copy link address. Then head over to this site go into desktop view and post through that so you can insert your image

I've gave this course a go and it's quite good. A few things I'd like to bring up is sculpting, one perfect example of this is the fairway bunkers on the 4th, one looks well sculpted but the other next to it seems more flat. Don't let the planting obscure the player's tee shot, I noticed that on a few holes. On the short par 4 11th you could do with a longer fairway as it leaves a long 2nd shot if you don't go for the green. All pins on set 3 were fair only one of the green tees had a small slope. Try and place your bunkers near to the landing areas. Some of the views on the course we're nice especially the first tee. Greens could be a bit bigger and general course sculpting to smooth it out a bit. Some might disagree with what I've said but it's all about opinions, but yeah a fairly decent course.

I appreciate the constructive feedback. I want to improve. I noticed the tee shots point after publishing and I agree. What tees did you play? I noticed it more on the middle. Still working on my sculpting consistency. This is my second course.
Thank you for the play and I definitely want to hear opinions.

If you wouldn’t mind could you also put these on the HB Studios forum thread? I’d appreciate it.

I played from the green (middle) tees. Yeah I just gave the greens a run through. Couple of over sights on those while testing everything from the tips
