My entry into the 2021 World Cup of Design contest, Strathlorne takes inspiration from real-life courses I'd love to play: Cabot Cliffs, Friars Head, Old Sandwich, Royal County Down and the courses I've most loved in-game: Falling Water, Windstone and New Highland Dunes, to name but a few. Basically, turned into a tribute to RJWils and Coore/Crenshaw. The aim was to have the course play as varied as possible - like Cabot, river, cliffs and woodland holes intertwine and you return to each at different points in the round. It's meant to be played with medium winds minimum (and firm fairways - dunno whether Highlands bug still applies) and different directions make each hole play considerably differently. Whilst there's a lot of width, you'll want to pick your spots with care and use the slopes to move the ball.
Everyone always says this, but I truly believe this is me at my best. I decided to throw everything at this contest and create something that's just fun to play and will get you back to explore all of the pins and winds. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Still hoping rjwils30 will port New Highland Dunes someday! This looks amazing and the pictures look ridiculous. Won't have time to play it tonight, but will do tomorrow. Looks amazing Ben - scary to think you're still getting better and better with every course. Will report back tomorrow when I have time to play this thing. |

Will play after Sawgrass is done FO SHO. Now I see why you liked my drivable Par 4 on my DL submission looking at hole 8 with a similar feel. 😉
This looks like buttloads of fun and I hope those Platinum complainers like it too! 😂

Looks fantastic - really like the look of the elevations in the fairways and surrounds, as well as the shot-making thought process. And doing this with other golf projects and young family? Wow...and this might be fun for an "Every Hole at..." video, just saying...  |

Took me ten minutes just to figure out what date and time that was for me!

Follow up question. How will this be received by the Platinum crowd? I mean, they’re all-knowing about great courses and all 😉
