Hey,
Just finished playing. Enjoyed the round.
I thought the layout was good with some very creative hole designs. You also created some good green slopes where you had nice playable slope at the hole. Not easy to do well. If I had to critique the design in one area, you had quite a number of holes where driver was not an option. Doesn't bother met per say, but I've received that critique myself in the past.
The planting could use a little work as you said. Where you've planted grasses needs to be randomized a bit right of the fairway on 2. You can tell they were cut and pasted as circles from somewhere else. Need to mix the edges of those patches up a bit. I think that's just an anomaly, though, as the planting looks pretty good starting on hole 4. I think you just need to fix up the first couple of holes plus some of the more bare areas between holes.
Some other items I noted while playing:
- The first cut around the fairways looks a little off color to me. Maybe consider choosing something that blends a bit better with the fairway and rough colors.
The sculpting is a little harsh in places. The more forward tee boxes on 1 are an example. The end of the fairway on 2 is another. Perhaps just smooth those contours out a bit to make them look a little more natural. - I like holes 3 and 4. Very nice.
- I think you need some more planting around the 9 green. Looks a little plain.
- I really like 14.
I hope this helps. This is a really interesting layout in my opinion.

Thanks so much for the play, that is really good feedback and definitely helpful! I'll take it and make some changes, hopefully will be publishing a final version soon. I'm glad you enjoyed the round, as this is my first design I wasn't sure how it would be received so the encouraging words are great to hear.
Thanks again, really appreciate you taking the time!
Best,
Eric
