Well, I'm having an absolute shocker here. Dont know what it is about the 6th hole but in both rounds I've played I've hit a red slow off the the tee and ended up wet (lefty). They're the only red slows I've hit off the tee. Lost 5 strokes in total on that hole alone. A DB and a TB. Then I had some OB troubles later on and took a quad! I've been consistently knocking around the top of the leaderboards so far this season, but sitting on just -4 now and I'm assuming I'm in grave danger of missing the cut this time round. Is that the par 3? Every round I play I consistently hit red slow despite my attempts to do otherwise. Wind up in the water. Have not started the event yet but plan some strategy to off set...way left of the green or bunker it...I'll see how that goes, but never the less I'm seeing the same as you. The par 4 before that do or die par 3. It could be holes 5 & 6.....or it's 6 & 7.....I'm not sure off the top of my head.

Quick reply about the OB situation people are complaining about:
I appreciate all the feedback on it for sure. I have mentioned this previously about the complaint.
I did check the OB before publishing the course and all seemed fine (even in the trouble area people are referring to). It was never forcing me to drop a ball when I landed. The game has a weird way of making OB while designing and I can see how easily that can get screwed up. Brushes don’t always work the best and can leak into areas not meant for out of bounds. Lastly, every marker is actually a hazard marker not OB. OB is actually not marked on the course and hazards are marked. The markers are suppose to work as OB if you see it that way but either way you’re suppose to avoid those trouble areas. If you don’t want to land in them and play risk reward.. hit better shots then lol
Sorry again for the problems but let’s live and learn here people. Not everything you play will be perfect. This was play tested close to 300 times before publishing and sometimes mistakes happen. Don’t forget it’s a video game please.

Matched my -30 from last week. Threw in a couple of doubles and a triple bogey - 2nd hole in Rd4.....was really spewing after that which took me down to -19 but played some great golf in the following 16 holes. A couple of OB's but def my fault. Overall, putted really well apart from a few holes. Sunk some really nice 20-30 foot putts and a few chip in's. Cheers

I made a 9 on the hole everyone is talking about in Rd 2, I'd be reasonably competitive if I didn't make so many large numbers. I think in Rd 2, I had 10 birdies, one bogey, a double and a quintuple (+5). In addition to the 3/4 bogeys I had in Rd 1. -8 after 2 🤪

CC-J-guy here, Rd 1 went as my practice rounds predicted...+4. High winds, hitting 50% fairways, but somehow found 56% of the greens which surprised the hell out of me as I thought it was worse. Avoided the OBs, but had to play out of the rough for pars, not birdies. Settled down on the back 9, but the damage was well done on the front 9...two double bogey holes due to poor putting. Despite my personal game play flaws it could have been worse. Looking forward to the challenge of Rd 2, later tonight. Good luck to all and don't let the OBs get you!
PS: Great course, very challenging especially for paranoid Xboxers...I work in psychiatry and paranoia is normal if you have the data to back it up!!!

I have played this course likely upwards of 20-25 rounds through practice events in my society...practice rounds...and the CC tournament. I haven't found OB once in any of those rounds. So if you want my opinion(most don't)...it's a non-issue

Shot -5 round 1, had a few bogies which slowed me down. Round 2 I did better and shot -8 which should secure a cut. Caught fire and went -14 for a 58 round 3! -27 after round 3.
Finished with a -9 63 and a total of -36. Should get a promotion mark and will be 1 away from the Korn Ferry!
Great course Sluggie. I believe I went OB on one of the holes, missed slow and went across the cart path near some houses on a par 4. Had some bad luck, but this course gives you lots of chances to make it up.

I also haven't had issues with OB. I could just be lucky, but I've found myself in the bushes with the red markers a few times including a spectacular bounce from a rock 30 yards into the abyss, and have been able to play it everytime. Like I said, could be amazing luck. But I absolutely love the course, love how it plays and its gorgeous. CC-A -8 in rd 1 and what felt like an absolutely awful -7 in rd 2 thus far. Had a couple 59s in practice rounds but haven't been able to find the same groove in comp yet.

I hit one OB I think first round, it just replayed the tee shot. Every other time I've gone near those red stakes I've been able to play it though.

I still think it was a great addition to the schedule. I get the OB brush is very finicky, which is why I tend to use it a little smaller than I'd anticipate. Personally I'd rather have no OB a couple feet into a hazard area compared to OB spreading outside of the hazard in the normal rough.

Personally I'd rather have no OB a couple feet into a hazard area compared to OB spreading outside of the hazard in the normal rough. I have not had trouble, but Respawn says he has hit clearly into in-bounds in a few spots (close to OB) and it was ruled OB. The designer has acknowledged it seems to happen (in another forum post) but is confident it is not his painting (he says he checked all OB numerous times) but rather how the game is interpreting his design.

used this as my qualifer
quite pleased and pleasantly surprised with my last round
my goal since switching to master clubs is to try and break par
so pleased with 1st round of -3 , 2nd round of -5, 3rd round again -5, then surprised with final round of 60 (-12)
so final score of -25
god knows what league that'll put me in, a bit flukish

My results so far.
CC-C
-25 for 5th (2 promo marks) -27 for 2nd (2 promo marks)
Promoted to CC-B.
CC-B
-22 for T19th (1 promo mark) -28 for T21st (1 promo mark)
Consistent you might say. Fair to say this one got away from me though! Unless something unexpected happens with the leaderboard, my -4 looks to be a missed cut. The 6th and 15th killed me here. 9 (yes 9!) stokes lost on those 2 holes. One DB, one TB and a glorious QB on 15.
Shot a bogeyless -7 in R3. Looks to be academic now.
Oh well, we move on.
