I have published the final version of Bandon Dunes as BANDON DUNES 2019 Lidar. I show a couple of photos below, but for more info go the the WIP thread Bandon Dunes WIP. I hope you enjoy this course. It should be played on High Winds for the most authenticity!

sandsaver01, this looks awesome. I'll give it a go later Edit: Fabulous job Mike! I really enjoyed my round. The high winds and greens give this course some teeth!

Thanks for the great feedback Wade, I really appreciate it. I plan to give your Beta a play tomorrow. I am a course reviewer so I may give some tough but constructive feedback in the PM (but maybe it will be great, who knows)?

Played this today... as always fantastic work! Hey I loved those "cypress" imitation trees you placed around the course... really neat looking. And the course plays very nicely and looks great. Thank you for the time you spent on this... it showed!
Also hoping the U.S. Amateur will still be on this year so we can play along. Who knows what the future looks like with all of this however.

Hey Mike just got the chance to play - easily one of the best lidar courses out there. Really enjoyed my rounds and will definitely be back for more. Amazing work!

Really nice track, bud. Played and looked awesome. Definitely coming back to this one. One minor critique is your compass is off a bit. So anyone that wants an authentic wind, set it to south. And turn it up!

And turn it up! Ha ha Justin, the compass is off because otherwise the ocean would be on the East side of the course. That is a problem with all West Coast oceanside courses, I had to totally revolve the plot 180 to fix it.

That is a problem with all West Coast oceanside courses, I had to totally revolve the plot 180 to fix it. I don't know how lidar works, its probably harder with the sculpting being imported, but to change the compass. Set the time of day to 6:00 a.m. Change the inclination so the sun will be right on the horizon. Then using the orientation move the sun around. Wherever the sun is will be east on the compass. From there on out, if you only use inclination and time to change the lighting the compass will stay how you set it. Just for future reference. Feel free to test it out. But honestly it doesn't bother me as far as the accuracy of the course. I thought you did excellent. I just wanted to put that out there for those who wanted to play with the wind coming off the Pacific. I just exited and reset it, so no biggie. Again, nice job, man.

Well I missed this one til now! Looks really nice. Get goin on the Sheep Ranch! To Joe, Justin, and Mr. Vinegar (and others who might be interested). The latest Lidar for that whole area, which I used for the Dunes, was from 2008-2009. The other courses you asked about were not built yet or were in progress. If new Lidar becomes available I might consider it, but after doing Sand Hills and Bandon Dunes I don't want to get locked into doing "links-like" courses.
