I finally am feeling compelled to update this one. Not planning on an extensive WIP thread, but thought I would at least show the look I'm trying to get.
First refresher, what Pinehurst looks like:
Second refresher, what the ported version looks like:
When 2K21 was published, I did some experimenting with mayday_golf83 on a Pinehurst look using the lidar file. I decided not to use the lidar file, not only because it's more work than updating the port, but also because the greens lack a little bit of nuance and have very few playable pin positions available. I know that's how the greens are in real life, but a lot of the US Open pin locations cannot even be used in that version. Having charted every putt from that tournament during construction of the course, I feel very confident about where the greens stand and the extra nuance they contain.
So I'm running with the fairway to sand to pine straw transition that Mayo showed me, and tried my best to mimic the wire grass-type stuff outside of the fairways. The expanded selection of pine trees will also help.
Here's the first;
The 2nd hole will likely be the heaviest planted on the course. I spent two hours hate-planting it during the Michigan-UCLA game:

How are you getting on with this Craig? Keen to continue following your good work. I was wondering about the fairway colour in the last x6 photos. The real life photos at the start of the thread show a lusher looking green. Will you be running with that or are you going for a more burnt look? IMO the greener fairway colour (like in your current version) provide a really nice contrast to the sand / pine straw / wire grass. Cheers!

I'm also in the group that is eagerly anticipating this one.

This wasn't working out for me. The planting scheme was destroying the meter, and I was finding some small changes since the 2014 Open that weren't accounted for in the old course. I've transitioned to the lidar version, but I'm working through extensive OSM updates that were needed.
In regards to fairway color, I think the lush green is rare for the course. It can be close to straight up brown at times. It seems to sort of vary a little bit by time of year and hole. I think the color here is probably pretty close to average:

We really need the ability to shrink the objects in the multiplant mode... among other things.
