Hi guys, I've just published a work in progress, which I think is really, really close to being complete. Wondering if anyone would be so kind as to have a look. I've posted a few photos too at the bottom. The course's name is "dfcgc wip 3". It's 7096 yards par 72. This course is set on a small block in the leafy suburbs of a major city (let's say Melbourne Australia). The block size is only 110 acres, and it drops from the clubhouse set on a hill, down to a creek at then up the banks on the other side. Because the plot is so small, every hole is connected to the rest of the golf course in some way. I wanted to design a golf course that looks and feels like a golf course, as opposed to a series of holes. I've got the default time of day to be 5pm (because it looks pretty), but please try it out at other times of day. I've got no idea if there's anything I'm missing or forgetting or have done wrong. Happy to hear any comments or feedback. This is my 3rd course, and my first "good' course. I'm just learning as I go. I think it's pretty good, I hope you like it too. Thanks guys. Aerial view of the course: 2nd, 14th annd 9th tee boxes, with 2nd, 3rd and 17th fairways somewhere in the background: 4th and 16th green complex: Par 5 5th with the city views: Back of the 6th green: 10th green with the creek behind: 12th, 13th and 14th holes: 13th green: 15th green with 16th and 5th tee boxes behind, and the 17th fairway on the left: 18th green:

Going to give this a play tonight on my stream Hey mate thanks for the playthrough and thanks for the comments. Really helpful. I'm glad you seemed to find the course interesting. I want to try a few different ideas and see how they translate to the game, nice to see what works and what doesn't. Obviously got a bit of work to do on technical stuff. And sightlines. I'll fix this course up after hearing your advice (and I've got my own list a mile long), for my next course I'll try to do something interesting with something more coherent. Also small question - the 4th hole - uphill par 3 that you didn't like. It's the same distance and elevation and green size as the 7th at Muirfield, which is a very famous hole. That sort of thing doesn't translate to this game?

That sort of thing doesn't translate to this game? I don’t know what others might think of it.. it may just be my own personal preference, I’d probably not like that hole at muirfield either haha. Had it been a 38ft rise in elevation for an approach shot on a par 4 I’d have not batted an eye lid.
