This was first try at a RCR before I knew how to use the designer ,and I always wanted to do a proper version and friends of mine asked me to do it , I know there is another version of this course out there ,but still wanted to do mine , This will be the 2019 BMW Championship layout I have the scorecard and hole locations and green grid info for the course, people seemed to like cog hill well I think this is coming out better with special help with the lidar from Mike hunt. There were only some tee box changes over the years . I'm also have way planted with Muirfield Village, this will be the final year of this course cause Jack is redoing muirfield over the next 2 years all new greens and some bunkers ,new tee box complexes and hole 5 will be redone and changed from a a par 5 to a par 4 ,hes making the landing zone accommodate the driver, pros hit 3 wood now it's new length will over 7400 yards and a par 71, the 8th, 15th , 18th will all be lengthened, but I hope you all enjoy these 2 courses

Great, great news!! These are two of my all time favorite courses wih no doubt. And yes, we already have both of them, but to be honest, the best (the only accurate enough) Muirfield we have, has an awful atmosphere and we NEED a good designed version. Only a prayer about Medinah. The version we already have is not bad at all..is funny and accurate but.. but who realized it decided to don't put the trees in the correct place (that means really , really near to the fairway..almost always in play and often exactly inside of it) cause he knew that lot of players dislike to deal with trees. But Medinah is almost ALL about to deal with trees, is simply senseless to eliminate this challenge. So please, please, put the proper number of trees at the proper distance. No matter what. And if finally someone should be unhappy to make some slalom between trees, he can always play some links and problem solved

Excited for these two... yeah the Medinah we have now is good but just like Ezzino said many of the trees are misplaced and the fairway/green splines are really goofy around the greens. I'd assume the spline problem was a mapping issue in OSM. Anyway I know you always do a great job with your courses so I'll be pumped to play them when they come out!
Thanks for your time these!

I redo all splines cant stand the splines that come from open street, yeah I measure the trees that border the fairways

Without this thing..it would be just a normal course and not the beauty it is. It would be like Pine Valley with less bunkers or Wolf Creek with less elevation changes csuse they are too much.

Hey there Gents! I put together the first Medinah. I appreciate the kind words. I went off aerial google images for the tree placement. The scale might have been off which opened up the fairways. I didnt have the correct hole locations and didn't mess with the splines around the green so that will be a nice addition. It was the third course I built on the designer so growing pains showed through at times. I look forward to playing yours Ace.
