Codename: The Predator at UF
Location: No Man´s Land, USA
Origin: Unknown
The true origin of The Predator is as mysterious as the constant fog surrounding the plot. The Predator, originally a nine hole course, had to be shut down in the early 70s due to golfers mysteriously vanishing from the course. Legend has it they got swallowed by the seemingly endless labyrinth of swamp channels and fog. Due to recent events Japan refused to host the Olympics so the the International Olympic Committee, scouting the world to find the one course worthy of hosting an Olympic Golf Event, decided to resurrect the Predator from the dead. Renowned golf course architect ChrizZcE was tasked to rebuild and redesign this legendary course. The back nine is located near the college campus of the University of Florida, while the front nine is almost completely untouched by civilization and provides a more isolated golfing experience.
When the locals heard the Predator was being resurrected, they protested vehemently, saying the land is cursed. However rumor has it the Golf Olympics comittee offered the Mayor a hefty sum of money to give permission to host the event. It turns out the locals may have been right, since the weather forecast says there is a huge hurricane approaching, drastically changing playing conditions each day. Despite all this the International Olympic Committee is determined to host the event, giving the Predator one last breath of life before perishing forever at the hands of the hurricane.
This roughly 7800 yards shotmakers course will require exceptional course management and shotshaping abilities to score. So swing tight and don´t let the gators bite!
R1: pin 1, wind Southeast low, very fast, very firm R2: pin 2, wind West medium, very fast, very firm R3: pin 3, wind North high, very fast, very firm R4: pin,4,wind South very high, very fast, very firm

Haven't been on the forums in a while, but as soon as you commented on my latest video letting me know about this course, I had to come on and see if you'd posted about it!! Looks amazing already from the pics above. Can't wait to play it shortly and get the video up. Look forward to jimgem 's playthrough of it also, showing off every little detail that you've no doubt put in using the skycam. Edit: hope you don't mind if I use the second pic for the thumbnail? |

Really nice to see something new in the designer and thought you nailed the aesthetic; the swampy water and waterside planting was just awesome. Definite step up on Frigiliana on the playability front as well - best of luck!

My god man, this is amazing. Sculpting and planting is great, and the environment captures exactly what you were looking for. Not to mention, the course plays really tough, but just how a major course should be. It's not often that you see something completely new in this game. Congrats on the publish man!  |

😳. 🤩. 😳. What an environment. After god knows how many rounds, I love seeing things I haven’t seen before. Awesome I'll piggy back off this... probably took me 90 minutes to play this round, The immersion factor of this course is off the charts- and it starts with a whole lot of WOW at the first tee. and I'll also agree with b101- the playability of this course is faaaarrr better than Frigilana and Wasserscholss. A couple of the pins at 187 speed (pin set #1- holes #6 and #11) were over the top nuts- but it is a Major contest. Excellent job here. |
