Challenging but fun course to play, you really have to think your way throughout. Awesome job I appreciate that, thanks very much!

I've been coming here for new courses for a few months now. I registered just so I could reply to this...You designed 14 after Boulder Creek's 17 didn't you?

Possibly tonight. Confirm or deny there are other Northern Ohio touches? You don't have to call them out but I'll be looking

You don't have to call them out but I'll be looking Sorry for the late reply, but yes at least 2-3 other holes are based off courses I have actually played in the area! But the feel for the rest of the course are based off what I have played too so I tried to make the course as cohesive as possible. Let me know what you think of the course and have fun with it

Mate this is one of the best courses I've played, incredibly well done.... Loved the look off of the tees and was sculpted so smoothly especially with so much elevation change, and felt natural and realistic. Planting was very natural also, like each tree was hand placed in a specific spot. And the greens are nice and sloped, just like I prefer. Super job. Can't believe that's your first course, you need to take another 10 months and do another one!
One of my favorite approach views from my round

One of my favorite approach views from my round I appreciate the amazing comments. It definitely took a lot of time to sculpt everything to cater to every shot! And yes it was my first [completed] course of this game (I may release another before the release of TGC 21!). I tried to make it as true to a real course as possible. As for your other comment. I'm waiting to start building another course until the release of TGC 21 and that will be another step up as I have plenty ideas for a well sculpted, smooth, southern style course for that game And I agree, I love that view of #5 as well that's one of my favorite uphill holes I've designed! Thanks again for the feedback and I hope you enjoyed the round and I'm sure the forums will hear from me very soon.

Congrats on your first release! I just downloaded it and can't wait to play. The time you took and attention to detail is inspiring as I'm working on my first one now, too. I'm not sure I can hold out for 10 months, though!

Just played it and really enjoyed it! Great work with such painstaking attention to detail - even on normally overlooked things like the ground surface inside the tree lines.
I actually found myself in the exact same spot as the picture on 14 above and was thinking, why does this look familiar?

I'm not sure I can hold out for 10 months, though! Thank you very much! I am working on another one as well and it seems it is going by much faster than this one! Its all about preferences and if you can create a course you're proud of then that's all that counts!

Any other NE Ohio surprises sprinkled in?

I actually found myself in the exact same spot as the picture on 14 above and was thinking, why does this look familiar? I am a perfectionist and made sure every blade of grass was absolutely perfect! Thankyou for noticing as I hope others did as well. And #14 was completely made up, as were most of the other holes on the course, but like I said most of the course was inspired by the courses I play everyday in NE Ohio so if you have experienced courses like this then that is where the familiarity can come from for sure! Thankyou for enjoying the course... a new one of mine will be released soon!

Any other NE Ohio surprises sprinkled in? Other influences throughout the course for sure, but actual holes that I modeled after real holes...only 14 and 15 fall under that category!

Very well done, lighting on point, planting very well done, to many autogen trees, and retaining wall needs some minor work, those are all minor issues, the greens on pin set one where ok, the last 3 or so holes were very, very tough, needs to be placed better, but I rated your course, a solid 4 out of 5 stars, thanks for the time and effort man.

Thanks for giving it a play! It sure took a lot of time, believe it or not there wasn't many auto generated trees at all and most of the trees and planting was done manually! And yes pins are tough on some holes but that is simply because the putting on the new 2k21 game made some of the locations much harder. I would have moved them if I knew that's what would happen! But oh well it still holds up and was excited to see it on the new game nonetheless. Thanks again!
