I posted these in the course design prompts thread and decided to post it here to offer my courses for all to enjoy.
I'm still a beginner at designing, you will probably find some errors on each, but I enjoying creating my own courses and playing them.
"House to House" - you get to play from my house to my sisters house. We live about 750 yards apart. I tried to be as accurate as I could given the items we can use. It is a 2 hole course both par 7s. Sometimes you have to bounce your shots off fences or homes to get a better position. It was made as a joke to see if my dad could recognize where we were playing.
"The Kracken" this is a 9 arm octopus. An island clubhouse with alternating in and out holes to make the "arms"
"Ace win a Car (x9)" 9 par 3s with a car to win on every hole.
"All star Skills Challenge" a 9 hole course with holes made to test a particular skill. Drive accuracy, Long iron par 3, short iron par 3, blind greens, holes that force long putts. Etc.
"Mill Run Executive" regular and tour version. I tried to recreate the uxbridge ON course that I played a lot in my teens. It was $10 a round. 18 hole executive course. Then I also created a tour version where I altered bunkers added a pond, jazzed it up for a "tournament" and crammed it full of people.
"Template Island" I googled template golf holes to find older research, and tried to make a course of all template style holes. Road hole, island green, redan, biazzaritz (sp?),volcano green, etc.
"Four Green Farm" what if a farm built 4 big greens. One in each corner of its property, and had 18 holes going between them? There are shared fairways that you play from both directions, greens built on the side of hills with flat areas for the pins, but slightly miss and the ball could roll 40 yards away and give tough up hill chip situations. Lots of fun trying not to get frustrated. I think people will hate this one. Lol.
These may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I find them fun.
I have others where I've tried to create regular courses, they are ok, and I've learned a lot and have favourite holes on each of them. But I have more fun designing off of stupid ideas.
