For those wondering, the bunkers are currently just placeholder (stock shapes), and very little planting has been done...

Things are happening...still stuck on a proper planting palette, so I'm still leaving the auto-gen planting in place, except for a few placed trees... Just wanted to post an update. ~Drnk (Mike)

Published a beta of the course for anyone interested in playing it and providing me with some feedback...all feedback is appreciated! Edit: Please keep in mind that this is a Beta, and no planting has been done, and bunkers haven't been sculpted (much)...But, I am open for any ideas/complaints/criticism/praise that anyone might have...LoL! Thanks, ~Drnk (Mike)

One thing i did like about this course was i play without the landing circle you could see everything of the tee Top marks there. I think there was about 3 or 4 very uneven tee boxes i noticed, also not sure if there, there for a reason when you plant but i thought the rocks behind the 3rd green looked out of place to the rest of the course style. Overall most important part course played well,i know you asked for feedback on twitter but in the end its your course and to be honest you should create your own style of course and not really worry to much what others say.

Sorry for the late reply to this. Especially since you took the time to play this and give feedback in here. I really appreciate your insight, and I can assure you that the tee boxes (along with everything else necessary) will be sculpted properly prior to release. The rocks on #3 will "make more sense" once final planting is completed. I have been struggling on a planting palette for this course, but I believe that I have finally nailed something down (so far). I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed your round, and that you find the course playable - especially from the perspective of someone who plays sans landing circle. It has been my goal to try to make this course a playable as possible from multiple playing styles, and I hope that I can continue to execute this through the end. Here's a shot of the 4th and 5th that gives a preview of the planting concept I have for the section of the course: Thanks again for your feedback! I hope the course will live up to your expectations so far after it's published (in about a month or so)... ~Drnk (Mike)

Gettin' there with the planting palette, I think...Hole #1 done... ~Drnk (Mike) Hi Mike - not had chance to play the Beta on this yet, but just based on the last photo you posted, i think the planting here is really really nicely done. Provides a nice realistic feel and, particularly down the left, I think it looks great. Looks a lovely opening hole! The only thing I would question, is the use of the purple flowers dotted throughout. It's very much a personal thing, but for me, I'm not sure you need them as i think it leads the eye away from the really good job you've done with the other planting. If you've not tried it, it might be worth removing them all and seeing what you think - you could always undo the change if you prefer having them in there.

Thank you for your kind words, @leecey...I've been working hard on this, with hopes to make my second course much better than my first. The purple flowers will stay, unfortunately, as I have added them for sentimental reasons. Sorry... I hope you are still able to enjoy the course when you finally get a chance to play the final version. The Beta has been updated a ton since it was published though, but I would still welcome any feedback that you may have from playing it as well... Thanks, Drnk (Mike)

After spending what felt like an eternity today single-planting grass, bushes, flowers, etc. I made some more progress on my course; which now has had its name changed to "Amethyst Ridge" Anyone who feels like playing the beta of this course that was released last week before all of this planting (among other changes) was done, feel free...It can be found in-game under "DAKT Beta AR 02"...Thanks! Here are some pics from the nearly finished 3rd hole: Looking to have the course complete by the end of this month at the latest. Just need to finish all of this (ridiculous [never do it again]) planting, then playtest and final tweaks. Thanks for sticking in... ~Drnk (Mike)

Most of my view for the last week or so, and for at least another few days. I'm really hoping that this course does well on here... Thanks, ~Drnk (Mike)
