Hi everyone this is my first post on TGC Tours. Have just finished my new golf course called Blackhand Gorge golf club this is my 5th course design and could use some critical judgement to help me improve my course design. I use an Xbox One to make my golf course I try to keep a natural look that is challenging but i now wonder if my courses may be a bit too hard because i just don't get that many player on my course that is why i ask you for your help. This course is in the delta theme a par 72. The other golf courses I call the Deadwood series that are rated medium to hard. I would appreciate your input good or bad I just want to make courses that are playable and enjoyable to all. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to TGC Tours I hope you enjoy your time here. I'd suggest creating a thread in the Completed Courses section with a few pics and some info i.e. number of tees, pins and a description.

Xboxclips.comYou can take a screenshot pressing the Xbox button then Y, then upload it to Xbox live. After that visit the link above enter your gamertag pick the screenshot you want and copy the link address. Then just select the picture option when posting on here and paste the address in there. Don't worry about getting lost here I was in the same boat when I joined.

I played a round on this course and shows the designer has a grasp of the fundamentals of designing. Some aspects need a bit of work like bunker placement and sculpting as well as fairway sculpting. I seen a few bunkers encroaching on the fairways and bunkers, I'd suggest laying the bunkers first then shape the fairways and greens around them.
Although the greens played well I'd suggest raising areas up to create tiers for different pins and backstops for over hit shots. I thought the planting was really well done and didn't have a problem with the tees.
I'd also suggest you check out videos by Crazycanuck1985 and The Joy of Planting by Matt F on YouTube. Also check out design streams by VctryLnSprts on Twitch to pick up ideas, as well as just coming on the forum here and asking questions.

You have been a great help thanks for your input on my course there are some great course designers in this game but many others are just publishing anything, they are terrible! I hope to be one of the good designers. I enjoy the design aspect of the game I'm not that good of a player but getting better. I have seen Crazycanuck 1985 videos and it's helped me quite a bit I have not seen videos from the others. If you have made some courses I want to play them and also learn form your design. thanks again for all your help.

Here's a couple of pics of your course I took during my round. You're on the right track with the designer just a few things that need polished up. If there's anything you need to know ask in the tips and tricks thread on this forum, there's plenty of designers who'll help out. Watching design streams on Twitch is a good idea as you can ask the designer questions live. If you want to try out my courses I'd suggest trying Bayerischer Golfplatz, Wolf's Fang (Tour) and Desert Wolf.

Thanks Celtic Wolf your a great help I did play your designed courses great designs. On your Bayerischer course it seems like I hit many of your bunkers because of my bad play I played through a seconded time and did much better i've been using the pro clubs not that good with those clubs. but I really enjoyed playing. the desert wolf course I had my best score.
