So I finished the rough layout of the rest of the back 9 and from the Tee Boxes for the Contest I am measuring at a 6861 yard par 70 course featuring 10 par 4s, 5 par 3s, and 3 par 5s. I calculated the average for each hole and used that to convert to an approximation of the Par 72 yardage (converting one of the Par 3s into an average length (for this course) Par 5 for a 4/10/4 format) which yields a yardage of 7,286. Obviously it wouldn't be quite that simple to convert as none of the Par 3s are right on the "average" distance but this satisfied my curiosity for having a frame of reference for how long the course plays as currently routed.
In the current routing the course has the following required elements:
- Driveable Par 4 (The Minnesota green 18th hole pictured above) - At least 1 Par 3 over 230 yards (256 yard 8th hole) - At least 3 par 4s under 400 yards (Currently 4) - At least 1 3 shot Par 5 - At least 5 Par 3s (5 Par 3s with 3 on the front and 2 on the back)
In the current state of semi finished holes there are also - At least 2 bunkerless holes - At least 1 blind tee shot (defined as landing area is blind off the tee)
Definitely making progress on this and I'm looking forward to sculpting and laying surfaces down on the back 9 and having a full playable 18 holes.

My day got off to a disastrous start when I booked up and found all my save data was corrupted and all courses including my CC course was gone. After trying everything including a full reinstall of the game on my Xbox and having no luck I set out to get started on a new version with only 21 days until the deadline.
I've settled on a coastal highlands course and was able to get two fully playable holes down this afternoon. I will have to keep designing at a manic pace to get this published in time but it is still my goal to do so.
I haven't decided on a new name for this course, as although it is a links style course I don't feel like the Links as Lebanon Hills fits any longer as the original course was named after Lebanon Hills park as I was attempting to utilize local terrain.
Hopefully I'll have another hole down tonight, along with a new name and some pictures of my progress!

I really love the overcast look. Must be brave enough to try that on one of my future courses. I think it adds so much mystery for whatever reason. Looking good man.

Planning some marathon design streams this weekend as I try to finish this thing in the next 10 days! Got a long way to go still but I am hopeful of having a fully playable course by the deadline even if a second version needs to be released cleaning some things up and beautifying.

Will follow along and look forward to it. As I've said to you before, I honestly like the look of this better than the Delta you had going, even though it won't be as polished. Everything crossed for you!
sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter.

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout.

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter.

meunier33: Why isn't there a green firmness meter on the score bug? Green firmness matters much more than green speed.

keyan: has anyone got any good donald course esque courses

meunier33: I still play this game like it was the game before 2K21. Up until this month I have never tried to change anything about how I play the game. It has made me worse trying to adapt also.

OldManGaming606: The biggest swing adjustment and best for competitive golf IMO, was 2k21 and addition of tempo.

Art Vandelay: each time the game has been issued (TGC, TGC2, TGC19, etc) the game play changes. Some more than others. You have to adapt. Or go away, like some have.

Wutpa: I think a lot of people here have figured out what your problem is, and it's not what you think it is.

meunier33: EG the best swing used to be hard and low and not a high swing like it is now.
Nov 12, 2024 14:51:27 GMT -5
meunier33: Im finally figuring out what my problem is though. I play the game like it used to work 4 or 6 years ago and I have trouble adjusting to how it now plays

zooby97: Is that all meunier33 does is COMPLAIN? Will you please ditch the game so I don’t have to see the complaints anymore, wow!
