Not to mention 2,300 pretty stout! I sketched a rough routing and came in at 2325 😯 383 yards per hole is pretty generous tbh, just prevents you from doing all par 3s. |

Drew up some hole ideas while on my lunch break. Pretty excited about building this one. Definitely building 6 holes that I DO NOT want to extend to 18 haha
But making myself get further along on NT before I hop on this.

I had a short (130ish), an Eden (170ish), and a drivable 4 (310ish)... That left 1690 for 3 more holes meaning an average of 560ish. 😬 Easy to remedy, just can't go with several short holes. |

Can I just submit every course I've made?

Woooooah 1 month well this is a fantastic challenge as I've yet to design anything remotely close to flat. Gonna have to really test myself to get it done in that window, but this is a sweet idea!

Looking forward to this challenge!
Anyone else have problems with their measure tools? To be honest mine haven't worked since I purchased the game. Have tried deleting and re-downloading, switching systems of measure, changing resolutions, etc. The yellow lines show up but no distances or elevations. Have been using the create a hole feature to measure distances and elevations or paying particular attention during play-testing as a work-around thus far, but I imagine that is going to be quite obnoxious for this challenge. I have submitted tickets to 2K/steam without response. Am on PC. There has to be someone out there with a similar problem and hoping they have found a solution.

Weird suggestion but you could sink a water plane under the whole area you plan on having holes on then flatten your course to the height you want the minimum to be at, then put a water plane exactly 10 feet above that and voila. Double water plane trick makes the water seethrough and you have a precise measure across the whole course |

Contest #2 Details (April 5th-May 5th)Flat Plot ChallengeIt is at this point that you will realize that coconut is a nonsense word, and has in fact no bearing on this contest whatsoever!  This contest will test your micro sculpting, creating interesting playing angles, framing, and planting. Rules- Entire plot cannot vary more that 10 feet. For example, if you lower the terrain by 3 feet, the most you will be allowed to raise the terrain is 7 feet. Use the measure tool to check and make sure you stay within these parameters. - 6 holes, total course yardage must be a minimum 2,300 yards (2103 meters). - Any theme/style is allowed. - If you are using water, use the level that the water starts for your measurement point. - Last day to publish is May 5th at 11pm EST. I can see now that you had us in the “Palm’ of your hands with that coconut thing....Trying to “Milk” us for ideas...You really are a “Nut” Good luck to everyone with this one...I’ll keep a “level” head, but I’m definitely going “Flat” out on this one....Should be interesting.

I honestly have no idea what it is about the 'contest' or the 'themed' designs or whatever. Something gets the creative juices flowing with this type of thing... Its really weird. I immediately had a wave of inspiration when the contest was posted. Here's what I came up with tonight... Obviously we have a month, so how much of this stays we'll have to see, but I'm actually really digging this challenge! Par 24 - two 4s, two 5s, two 3s. 2427 yards. I'm a huge fan of tight routing, so I artificially constrained myself to 800x400 for the plot, though I wound up not needing nearly that much space... I already have the green complexes I want to "build", as the plot is flat as a pancake at the moment... My focus will really be on strategy, especially w/ the micro-sculpting! Here's to day 1!    |

I'm really in the mood for this challenge - I'm so intrigued by the geometric golden age architecture that I'm gonna try it for 2.2. Why not try something I'm not comfortable with here?

I wonder if we'll reach 52 pages again with this thread?
