I am currently deep in a project that started a couple weeks ago. I'm getting close to releasing a beta version. The project is called Home Of Nome Alaskan Resort, and it should be my strongest offering yet! This 18 hole championship layout will play roughly between 7200 and 7300 yards from the championship tees and offers endless sightlines with views of the historic business district and local charms. Farther away from the clubhouse will traverse across glacial outcroppings and coastal waterways. The luxurious resort is equipped with modern amenities and is capable of hosting large tournament events. Construction of the resort required improvements to the existing electrical grid, so a new power station was built, along with 5 large wind turbines to provide clean and reusable energy for the resort. The station not only powers the resort, but supports the town's energy needs as well!

Current progres report..
I started with the clubhouse and routing and I am working my way out from there towards the edges. Everything within 500 yds of the clubhouse is 90% (pre) planted, but a few holes have not yet broken ground. Everything in between is at a rough stage of completion and beta playable. Hole by hole...1-3 are beta ready and semi planted. 4 & 5 have not yet broken ground... 6 almost beta ready. 7 and 8 are beta ready. 9 almost entirely complete. This is the beginning of a beautiful5 hole stretch, and I'm really happy the way these holes are turning out! 9 is a moderately short par 4 (430 from tips, roughly 50' downhill) 10 through 13 are near completion and are turning out beautifully as well! 14 and 15 have not broken ground...16 is a par 5 with the final 200 yards fully playable (tees and preliminary landing areas incomplete, final 200 yards are sculpted with playing surfaces. 17 and 18 are pretty much finished, however, I have some decisions still to make regarding planting.
Rough estimate....I can probably get a decent beta course ready by next week if my schedule allows....I will be looking forward to some feedback before releasing a finished product!
Thanks!

I got a lot of work done on this last night....then the power went out, SMH! I didn't have my work saved, so I'll have to do it over. One thing I did manage to get done is clear most of my original planting. I had a good number of large evergreens in my layout, but after researching deeper, I noticed in pictures that Nome does not have much in the way of trees. So, I will be replanting with mostly small shrubs and rocks. I will probably have BETA version published by Wednesday or Thursday.

Quite a few of the tee boxes (black tees) need a bit of touching up e.g the 5th isn't flat

Generally speaking, I tend to work backwards from green to tee, so I'm looking more for feedback regarding sightlines and shot values right now.
