Mornington Downs (South) is now published. This is a collaboration with mattf27 . We actually first thought of this project during the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne way back in December. The South Course is not overly long and has generous fairways, but the greens are firm, fast, and are tightly guarded by bunkers and swales in the style of the Australian sandbelt. The North Course (which you can spot from a number of locations on the South Course) is longer and more challenging, will likely be an early PGA Tour 2K21 release. Finally, we'd like to thank reebdoog for helping us figure out the bunkering style for these courses. We couldn't have done it without him.       |

Excellent work here chaps - really appreciated the time it must have taken with the bunker sculpting and I particularly enjoyed the run from 14 in - 17 was a real highlight for me. I also thought the three par five approaches were the best on the course. Tough to do and I loved the amount the ground game mattered. Gonna give a few more plays on different pins, but delighted the laptop held up for you. Also, a shoutout to this beautifully unambiguous description  : "The longer and more challenging North Course (which you can spot from a number of locations on the South Course) is longer and more challenging" |

Just played it mate, & congrats on an amazing piece of work. Looks & plays great. Thanks for all the time spent.
Was really hoping it was going to be a recreation of Pennisula Kingswood South though. I think PK North would turn out to be one of the best courses on this game, if anyone can pull it off tho.
I've almost finished a version of The Old Course at the National(TPC the Bear Test v2) and hope it turns out half as good as Mornington Downs.

Excellent rendition of a sandbelt and glad to learn you have a second course on the go. Great shaping to the fairways and the bunkering, the bunkers are perfectly tuned for depth and the roll of the ball off the greens and fairways into them is done to the best of the games ability in my opinion. Would have loved to have seen more distinctive green sections where the bunkers cut in a little more but that's just my subjective input on how I like sandbelt greens. A 5 star, 10/10 course packed with options, ground game and extremely enjoyable putting challenges.

Yeah I'm in the middle of doing PK North although it will be quite a few weeks away. You can view it here afightingfury - tgctours.proboards.com/thread/23713/peninsula-kingswood-north-course-wip?page=1&scrollTo=558576It is looking pretty sweet but I'll be asking some of the better designers to run their eyes over it before I publish so I can do it justice. I haven't got around to playing Mornington Downs yet but I definitely look forward to it. |
