This is a very exclusive real course (lidar) in a remote part of Illinois. It averages just 200 rounds per year. It has some really cool hole designs and awesome green complexes as the pics below will show: so far I have the first six holes completed minus planting and eye candy.
For DAM members: There is one goat hidden somewhere on the golf course. After it is published I challenge you to find the goat!
Hole 1 by the green: short par 4
Hole 2: mid to long par 5 with a Biarritz green? Should be close enough to satisfy most MacRaynor aficionados
Hole 4: A longish crazy par 4. Tee shot over water and you have to choose how much to bite off. too far right and trees can block your approach
The uphill approach on hole 4...
...up to this devilish green complex. On just 155 green speed, if you hit the wrong part of the backstop above this pin the ball can roll all the way off the front of the green.

This looks really good! I love that you are taking great detail on the finished after importing the LiDAR project. The best LiDAR courses are the ones you can’t tell are LiDAR, you know? I look forward to playing (and searching for the goat)!

A lot of that has been necessary to get it to come out right since the lidar data was not the best. The data quality is good enough but a couple bunker shapes needed tweaks here and there, and that was in addition to several hours of painstakingly moving shapes around on OSM anywhere from a couple feet to a couple yards based on some alignment errors; the same exercise may be enough to make Pasatiempo worth bringing to completion?
I'm also incorporating a couple fantasy back tees where they fit the way the holes play to make it a little bit more interesting with master clubs as a potential candidate for TGCTours and society events.
And who says being able to tell they're LiDAR is a bad thing? For relatively unknown courses such as this one there's no good way to re-create it without LiDAR data, so it's all we got.
And when the time comes, happy goat finding
