Here is my first course ever for TGC! It's been a work of passion to see this project completed. I built this course (for real) in 2000 - or at least the first nine holes. The back 9 were never built - until now! The Island Springs Golf Resort is located on St. Joseph Island in Northern Ontario, Canada. The first 9 Holes were built in 2000 with plans to complete the 18 in the years to come. Since the course has shut down. I am the former Island Springs Golf Resort's Superintendent and so I have recreated the real front nine with a fictional back 9 based on the original course design by Kevin Holmes. For more than a decade I walked this course (both nines) and know every square inch off by heart. I hope you enjoy my first effort into this remarkable site full of talented designers. I look forward to your comments and feedback. The learning curve was steep but some great resources here and on youtube helping flatten the learning curve. As part of my Superintendent training I did do some formal golf course architectural training through the University of British Columbia and now I endeavor to remember all that I learned and use it with TGC. Island Springs is a short course never meant for the big-hitters, so I'm curious to see if you all eat it up or there's enough strategy to make it a challenge. I play the course worse from the front tees(Red) than I do the back(Blue) for some reason. I am leaning towards creating a Tournament edition with a set of back pro decks and crowds, but it may be only for me to play.

Awesome OP and "scorecard" posts, much respect for that man! I will play the course for sure, and if you ever have any design questions, please feel free to stop by my streams, I'm happy to help out (not to mention a lot of other great designers you can find on Twitch as well). Welcome to the community!

Really appreciate the effort here! I look forward to giving it a go! Thanks! I'm already noticing a few things in my promo pics that I'd do over. I worked from the first hole to the last in order. So I'm hoping my skills grew a little through the process.

Welcome to the community! Hey that's big time coming from you. You may have notice I liked your promo format used for The Mantis! I started out with CrazyCanuck on YouTube and now I'm looking into even more info. I don't know much about Twitch, but I'm off the check out your page and what I can learn there.
