I also know Golf Digest did a "Every Hole" YouTube video of Winged Foot - West:

Most of the issues we're having here are related to how surfacing and sculpting line up - or more so how they don't. Most of the green pads - that is the pushed-up earth that the greens sit on - are pre-Hanse dimensions. In other words, the green surface spills over the edge of the green pads, creating awkward and severe runoffs that have never existed at WF. We have to go back and manually reshape the edges of the greens. As for bunkers, most were moved a few paces, creating some very strange sculpting issues where bunker surfaces spill over their old lips. Bunkers on West aren't nearly as difficult as they are proving to be on East though, where the club clearly did much more tinkering pre-Hanse. There are many bunkers that Hanse removed where the LiDAR picked up the old sculpting. And the most important part: green contours. Many greens have been drastically oversimplified by LiDAR - most notably 1 West, 13 West, and 17 East. Others swung in the other direction: the contours on 15 West are much larger than they should be. There's a lot of work ahead, but luckily WF requires little planting so we can go full tilt on these greens. Craig did 1 absolutely perfectly, so only 35 left to go. Hey y'all, tpetro is helping out, since he has experience playing both courses, the lucky bastard! He will be especially helpful with the East course. So, to be clear...You are both doing the West AND East courses, on one plot with seperate publishing, correct? Just wanted to be sure...Thanks for doing this! ~Drnk (Mike)

Looking very good my friend! The greens are already looking savage and the thought of playing them is giving me palpatations!
Can't wait for this

Taking any and all advice for creating this:
For the main clubhouse you might be able to kludge together a couple of the stone townhouses. For the veranda on the right you might be able to use a combo of stone bridges for the window arches and the stone walls/posts. That's sort of what I did for the friars head clubhouse. No idea what (if anything) to do for the awning. One of the new concession stands has a an awning but it's not blue and it's also very small.

Sometime Q4? Yeah, probably that.
I never keep track of when I start or when I finish, or how long projects take, so I never have a frame of reference.

I spent quite a bit of time on this, and tore down several different iterations of each wing before settling on this.
How do I feel about it? Maybe like 80-85% good. I couldn't find good window options for some areas, and really had to do a lot of stonewall work. I think after putting a bunch of planting around it things will look better and less disjointed. I don't know, maybe someone could do better, but this is about as good as I'm capable of.
