One Pro of this Quarantine has been the time allotted to designing golf courses. In addition to my Major Design Comp. submission, I am also Publishing Blackstone Valley GC. A Par 72 stretching to 7500 yards based along the Blackstone River. The golf course is meant to be more of a stroll in the park and if you would like a more challenging round, I suggest changing the default settings.
Hole #1 - A 420 yard par four dogleg right playing to a well protected green
Hole #3 - A risk reward par five requiring two very precise shots to cover the front pond.
Hole #5 - A medium length par four which scales the Blackstone River for the first time on the golf course.
Hole #7 - The signature hole on the front is a short 170 yard downhill par three with the Blackstone River as a backdrop.
Hole #10 - A long dogleg left par four with one of the several natural rock formations found on the back nine
Hole #16 - The signature hole at BVGC has two greens. One is nearly driveable at 360 yards and another is 475 yards. This hole leaves several options. Pin Sets 1 & 2 play to 475 yards while Pin Sets 3 & 4 play to 360 yards
Hole #17 - This long par five requires precision, but with two good shots, it represents a legitimate chance at eagle
Hole #18 - The final hole at PVGC requires two good shots as you play out to the Blackstone Valley Bridge and bike path

Played through it this morning. For the most part it felt realistic, and the only reason I didn't score better was my abysmal putting ability. Everything felt pretty fair.
My biggest suggestion is focusing on the finer details. A lot of places seemed pretty bare.
