Welcome! If you'd like to submit the course to be part of the TGCT database, you'll have to do that here: www.tgctours.com/Course/SubmitOtherwise, posting here will for sure get the word out about your course, and will encourage people to play it. But it won't be officially reviewed unless you fill out the form at that link. Also, I'd encourage you to consider posting pictures of your course to drum up interest. Take a look around at other posts to see how folks "market" their courses, and you'll get an idea of how pictures can really draw others to your created design.

Gave it a run. Good effort for a 1st course. Bunkers need some help, they were all flat. Raising the land naturally around them will help them stand out. Also sight lines on many (nearly all) of the holes needed improvement. Fairways and hazards weren’t visible (like to see bunkers and water, especially if they are in play when hitting). Green slopes were pretty harsh on some greens and very very tame on others. green sizes were pretty decent, there were a couple that seemed overly large. Texturing was ok, color choice for the heavy rough didn’t seem to match but wasn’t outlandish. Make sure to turn off the default heavy rough in course settings as it was visible on a few holes and obviously different from what you ended up choosing.
I know it sounds like I’m being overly critical but there’s a lot of good things there as well. You’ve got the right idea and are headed in the right direction. Keep practicing, watch or rewatch the tutorials from crazy cannuck and b101 on YT and you’ll be turning out top of the line stuff real soon.

With this being my first run I will take all the criticism to get better. I will have to watch some videos about bunkers for sure, because I made sure there was a low/high side, but to get it even better I will check those vids out. Also, ty for your feedback even if you are a Gamecocks fan... GO TIGERS!

Is this supposed to be a recreation of the real Sage Valley?

Is this supposed to be a recreation of the real Sage Valley? I wish. I have too much trouble making elevation changes, hills, etc look natural. If I get better at it I can make the real course.
