Really pleased how things developed yesterday with holes 12 (Beast), 13 (Old Pine) and 14 (Castle in the Sky). I need to come up with other names....the 11th maybe "Twins". The 1st would be "Gentle Handshake" - thanks MattF for that one. The 9th I think would be "Beauty" to contrast the 12th. Lots of fun ideas here. Right now the 5th is "Borderline" since I'm really close to trashing it and rebuilding. Also really wish HB would add a feature where hole names could be entered/saved/displayed. Seems an obvious and simple feature. Who doesn't love hole names? Will probably do a little more design tomorrow morning, after which I'll post some more screenshot updates. Split fairways and choices are sort of the theme of this course, so I'm going to stick with them in many cases. Some holes may wow, some may disappoint, but I'd rather try and fail than not try at all. My motto is "boring is death" - I'd rather someone love or hate a hole than forget it altogether. For better or worse.

Got 16 and 17 laid out today, but not really thrilled with either. Hmm. The 17th is especially worrisome for me. The course is currently projecting at right around 7000 yards, definitely sub-7100, so I might have to go back and add a 'championship' tee. Thoughts from the gallery on that? Is 7000 too short in this day and age? Here's the 16th "Oxbow", a short par 5, shorter than I had anticipated. I'm still toying with moving the entire green complex back about 30 yards. Not the most satisfying design day I suppose, 2 holes with some real question marks around them! I should be back at it tomorrow.

Spent a little time off stream last night playtesting and playing with easter eggs. I definitely think some greens and fairways need smoothing/tweaking, but its all coming along. Planting push will be starting soon.

Very nice. 16th my favorite look so far. Looks like a hole that can play 4 different ways in 4 rounds.

Enjoyed catching a bit of this (planting 17/18) on stream yesterday although had my hands full with the tot so couldn't chat. Like the look of 17 and that 'characterful' green! The pics of 15's bunkering look really nice as well and definitely look forward to playing it.

Coming along. Holes 2, 3, 5 and 7 need planting still, and might need to touch up the eye candy...then I need to playtest pins, dial back the green speed, etc etc. Hoping I can grind this out next weekend! I might try to playtest during the week too, we'll see. But the planting is happening, as you can (hopefully) see.
