Hi guys, I’m new on here and have created my first course called Oakland GC
I’d really appreciate it if some of you guys could give it a play and give your honest feedback so I can improve in future creations!
Oaklands GC is a Harvest themed golf course with sweeping hills and a scoreable front 9 is combined with a tough back 9 where only the most precise of shots will give you birdie chances
Red tees: 6,740yds Yellow tees: 6,969yds Black tees: 7,183yds
If your kind enough to give this course a go if you’d be so kind in giving me feedback?!
Thanks!

Welcome to the community! Will give this one a go and send you a pm. Started playing and see you have some good ideas. Im not the most seasoned designer but can point you in the right direction.

Thanks for taking time out to give my course a go, I thought upon creating it was a great course but taking the time out and looking at the really really good courses I’ve realised I’ve a lot to learn but for a first attempt I don’t think it’s too bad, but any thoughts you’ve got I’m all ears, thanks again!

Really like the strategies and variety you have going on. Was able to finally get a round in, and enjoyed the course. Few minor missteps here and there but nothing egregious. I'll pm you with some notes. In the meantime, check out some tutorials, focus on things like sightlines and bunker sculpting. tgctours.proboards.com/thread/22247/youtube-design-tutorials

Gave this one a go. Definitely a good first course. I liked several of the looks you created. That was a good first waterfall as those are tough to do.
Challenging but not too challenging. Shot -2 and I am not the best player.
On your next course, I would look closer at your tee shot views. Several of them you could not see the nice set up in front of you. That is the only shot you can control the players view 100 percent of the time so show your stuff there.
Hole 9 par 5 I could not reach the second fairway with wind in my face. A little more fairway would fix that up.
Bunker sculpting can really add to your look too.
There are some tutorials on youtube. CrazyCanucks really helped me.
Good first course. Looks good and it plays.
Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Derek

Hi stef88, great first course and welcome to the Tours i hope this helps you with some feed back you are looking for. Enjoy and hope to see more courses in the future. Thanks so much for that mate can’t tell you how much I appreciate that, great to hear somebody’s impartial view, it’s so hard to get people playing your course let alone rating it! I’ve got another course design underway which has a bit more flow and definitive route and took on board yours and the other guy on here who’s helped me a lot, is it ok if I give you a message when that’s complete and if you’ve got time and don’t mind you can have a look at that if you would like Thanks again!

Derek Thanks for the play and feedback really appreciate it, everyone seems to be saying the same thing which is good, I’ve got another course in the works at the minute which I feel corrects the feedback I’ve had for this one! Thanks again!
