This course is walking distance from my house. It is a gorgeous course and can be difficult with windy, hard and fast.. which is what I default the course to. I think the course came out beautiful and am hoping you will too! Enjoy. It looks like pin 3 is giving me the biggest headache on scoring well.

REALLY looking forward to playing this one. Lookaway has been on my radar for a while, eastern PA right?

arielatom , that is correct. The course is in Buckingham, PA. About an hour north of Philadelphia. I live 3 minutes from it.

That's awesome! Caves Valley used to be within walking distance of where I lived, not anymore after moving. I saw both the US Senior Open in 2002 and the International Crown in 2014 there. But the real zinger seems to be that there's no LiDAR for much of that area judging by Greystone and Baltimore Country Club having none available. I have not seen the course since they converted hole 11 into a Par 5. Not being sure if I want to finish up courses myself but I'm eyeing a potential next OSM target as Engineers is nearly complete. Any course you'd really like someone to work on, if you plan on starting on a next course soon?
EDIT: Just played the course, it's very nice! A couple small things though. One small thing I noticed when looking at the course on Google Earth before every hole: it looks like you missed the back tee box on #13. I do wish it had a couple more long par 4s (I'm only using Pro clubs btw) but that's how the course is. I'm not sure about the slope front left on #2 but I LOVE the greens overall. They're surprisingly subtle in spots.

Actually we use openstreetmap.org to map the courses. I do get lazy occasionally and don't compare open street mapping to google mapping!  |

Looks like another great course to play on a simulator.
Lovering these new lidar courses with realistic fairway sizes and layouts. Awesome work!

Yeah, that must be what happened: that the tee box was hidden in a shadow or something =) I'm not sure I would've noticed if I didn't have a scorecard pulled up as well. I was looking for a back tee on #3 as it was listed at 570+ yards as well but I couldn't find one for that hole.
I know about the openstreetmap stuff, so that's what I was referencing. Just new to the game there and not sure if I want to take on a full recreation on my own.
