I want to build a bridge with base support that spans a very deep drop off from tee to green. I've seen pictures of peoples courses that have done it but I can't figure it out. If I use the sectional bridge I don't get any base support legs but if I use the free standing option the legs are only about 8 feet long. I have a valley/drop off that is about 90 feet and the bridge looks odd just floating a 150 yard wide gap with no base support.
Any suggestions?

Use the power line towers for supports

Lot's of concrete bins in a tower for each wooden support. You can also extend the wooden supports using the retaining wall posts |

Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge  But really, nothing to add. What the other guys said would work just fine. Trash Bins. Walls. Retaining Walls. Power line stands. Other bridges. It all works. In the end no one is going to crush you for it if you don't put up 90 feet of support. Make it look more like a suspension bridge. |

Still my favourite bridge. Must have taken days |

Was just doing this on my latest course, that's just a plain bridge with the retaining wall posts, if you just get it lined up at the top and then place, press L2 on your keypad to lower, keep placing and lowering till you hit the bottom  |

Thanks to all of you for your pointers. I used the retaining wall wood posts and added some "support" to my bridge. Not sure I'd want to walk over this in real life but at least it isn't just sitting on top of a massive rock now.  |
