I hope I can explain this... I am working on my Rookie Design Competition course and have an idea for a major design element that I want multiple holes to play around and over. I keep wanting to start a hole where the tee shot crosses over the approach shot of a previous hole. It seems to work visually, but seems odd. Thoughts?

I will do a search to see those examples, thanks. I hope to make it look fantastic and play great. Thanks for the quick response!

I did something like that on a course 3 or so years ago... it was a very mountainous course where one hole was in a valley and the next hole it over that valley. It’s not the most practical IRL, but in this game it can definitely be done and is a cool concept IMO.

IRL it is kinda dangerous(and unusual because of that i guess), not an issue in a game tho and can get pretty cool so go for it. i have played one course that had some elements of that, Stonehaven(Scotland)if you want some inspiration.

Tom Doak crossed 3 and 5 tee shots at Tara Iti to create a gathering point for golfers to socialize. It's a pretty solid idea and practical if done correctly.
I've never crossed holes but have used shared fairways. One thing I did was set all my fairway waypoints at 280 yards so that I could make sure landing areas weren't right on top of each other. I also made sure that if 2 holes ran in the same direction, neither landing area was blind from the other hole's tee box, because IRL you have to account for errant shots.

It can be done, but be mindful of errant tee shots. I don’t mind asking players to walk off a green and across a teeing ground (or the area in front) to the next hole. I would shy away from having a drive go over another green or into the landing area for another fairway because it’s incredibly unlikely to see that IRL.
Of course The Old Course does just that and nobody bats an eye but that course is allowed to break more design norms than any other because of its place in the game.

Thanks everyone for the input. Although I don't think my idea would be best IRL, I think it works well in game. We will see...
