Let’s hope that Lidar comes out soon for Winged Foot so we can get something (hopefully) by the US Open! Is there LiDAR available for Somerset Hills in New Jersey? It’s a cool quirky Tillinghast design ranked #42 by GOLF. Also what about Garden City in New York? That’s another highly ranked golden age course. I did look into Somerset Hills, and there appears to be decent Lidar for it. I probably won't do it next because it is really the same type and era of course as Old White. I would like to do a more modern course first, but I will keep it in mind for down the road. |

I was maybe going to do either Somerset Hills or BCC east if I do a LiDAR course alongside a Tillinghast-themed fictional project. Somerset Hills is a really cool course. Garden City is supposed to be nice too. A bit on the flat side for his usual stuff but supposedly a top notch layout. I know Sandsaver said he was looking for something long enough for TGCT events, and I have no idea how much this course can be lengthened.
Devereux Emmet's design style is really interesting; he's not mentioned as frequently as he should be imho.
So many great courses on long island. Westhampton is a pretty cool track, same with the lesser known Rockaway Hunting Club and The Seawane Club. Nassau was recently restored, there's The Creek Club, Maidstone, and the list goes on.

Sorry for the double post but...just found that The Seawane Club's future looks to be uncertain. Maybe that's a good one for someone to work on in the relatively near future, especially if the club is sold to a [real estate] development company.

Just cause I had a few minutes I looked at Seawane. someone drew one hole in OSM but that is it. I downloaded Lidar (solid L2 numbers) from 2014-15 and used Chad's tool to take a look at the course plot. It looks fine as far as smoothness goes. It's not my cup of tea, but if anyone is interested in it I will keep the course and Lidar files for the forseeable future. |

I'll bet he means there's no version of the course in the game, either straight RCR or Lidar based.

I have actually played Silverado waaay waaay long ago when I lived in the SF bay area, but I am sure it has changed a bunch since then. Added in later edit: There is no Lidar available (data was accumulated and supposed to be released in 2018, but is not at TNM yet) for this area unless you want to pay $300 for a disk of the area; also nobody has drawn the course in OSM.
