Jeremy, thank you. This course is astonishing and exactly what this game needs more of. I’ve only played it one time at this point but it might be one of the best courses I’ve ever played in this game. The textures are so unique, the bunkers are works of art, and most importantly the hole designs are thought provoking. I really hope people can use this as inspiration to think and work outside of the box and create new and exciting designs different than what we’re used to seeing. Utilizing different texture combinations and creating unique bunker and green complexes can get us away from the overused parkland, green, and clean courses that can feel repetitive. Hopefully this showcases how you can push the designer tools to the limit to create more stimulating and one of a kind designs that will push the game to the next level. Once again, wonderful effort here and I wouldn’t be shocked if you pick up another victory with this project. Congrats and thanks again. Thanks Adam! Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot in my heart for "parkland, green and clean," but, given where we are at in the lifespan of the designer, it's so difficult to make a course like that standout -- which I think is almost essential any more in a contest setting because so many guys are capable of putting out very good courses. Honestly, I gotta give you some props b/c when I started, this was going to have more of an Old Town Club in Winston-Salem look but my mind came back to Pinehurst after playing your beta for Ghost Valley ... biggest stumbling block was trying to replicate a look that I felt suited the course and once I stumbled on the set up, it was all-in at that point. Also glad you picked up on some of the strategy involved as that was part of the fun I had creating this course. Again thanks for the comments & can't wait to see what you come up with next! |

Well no matter what type of course you like or design, we can all agree you created something great here. As much as I like Old Town, I'm really glad you chose to go the Pinehurst route. I love contrast so I'm always going to be biased to those types of courses. Pretty cool to hear that my course (ok fine, Pinehurst haha) played a role in your final decision. Pumped to see what you come up with next as well. |

Immaculate and beautiful golf course. Surprising to no one, as you are now absolutely one of the top shelf designers in the entire community. This course could very well net you some additional hardware.

Thanks JimGem ... been eagerly awaiting the playthrough and will definitely check it out when I get home from work this afternoon! EDIT: Appreciate the kind words about the course and I enjoyed watching the playthrough. 9-under is good playing around there and, aside from a slow-induced bogey on 17, I thought you managed your way around there pretty well -- capitalizing when the opportunity was there to score and playing smartly when it wasn't to secure par. Nice playing and thanks again for the playthrough! |

If any course deserves a bump, it might be this one.

Played it last night. Love how
you seemed to create a new grass/surface and how you can see through the water into the surface below. Double water plane trick I guess? I’m working on one (kinda on the back burner for now because I want to learn to blend surfaces better) that will have a big river bend kind of like your other course Hoback? Love that was as well! Had a good round -4 I think last night. Anyway thanks again!

I've had this thought when standing on the first tee of a course in this series two times.
The first, was CSU's Crawford Mines
The second, is this course.
The thought. no fair, this mother$@#$@#%^ @#$@#$ #!@# has a different designer program than I do!
Stunning!

Bump because this course blows me away every time I look at and play it. Holds up quite well on 2k21 too.

I can't let this thread die out. Contrary to some people's opinions this is not my favourite port (Falling Water and Frankston Heath will take care of that), but I love the look and feel of this course and 5 is one of the best short fours I've ever seen. Great work Jeremy!

Long Live Necedah.
There were rumors of a potential collab redo for the environment, any idea if that's still a future possibility?
