So I have started on my course after drawing a layout on graph paper for the last 4 months since Rookie contest. This is in between designing Inkoma River and judging WCoD. I have now abandoned the layout in graph paper as I couldn't get the river right to then design the holes around. I have something similar though and have mostly done the land sculpting.
18 holes are routed and 4 laid out and play quite nicely. I have learnt from my rookie contest feedback and avoid "pinching" the landing zones.
Greens and bunkers of course need more sculpting and of course planting which will be done last so it doesn't slow down PS4 too much.
I am not sure about showing pics but I have been taking some screenshots just in case I decide on it later.
The front 9 is going to more open and the back 9 on other side of river is going to have more hills and ridges obstructing views of other holes.
I also have the lighting better too so it is not directly above and also haze and fog.

Don't forget the green speeds not being at 128! Look forward to seeing your progress from Rookie

Don't worry they are faster here. Slow on Schwarzwasser due to climate and also the big slopes. This course is in a drier climate so greens faster

15 holes done and am there almost finished. Still need to tweak them and planting but plays nicely. Greens are what needs most work so they are not too flat but mounds tie into landscape and there are some tiers.
I'm happy with how it plays and may post some overhead shots of the layout to show the routing but still now sure of the actual holes screenshots yet.

If there's no WIP pics, it doesn't exist...

Does anyone or anything actually exist? Are we are just figments of a more powerful beings imagination? Is my course going to kick your butt? Have I lost my mind in this delirium of sleep deprivation?

See, it does exist. Everyone take note, distances are in Meyers so yards would be 1,1 times more. E.g. 6500 m is approx. 7150yds

Yeah for some reason, the screenshot at this distance didn't show them 9-10 and 17th hole. C'mon Wes you know you want to say it
