Hey all! After a bunch of work on this course, I have finally decided to get some more photos out there.
I am assigned as Indonesia, as an alternate to the event of course, as 15eicheltower9 is now my arch-nemesis and we might have to end this battle with swords, or maybe a Mandau, as is the Indonesian weapon of choice.
My course is (fictionally) set on the great island of Bintan, the most North-Western island in the country of Indonesia, and is only about 35 miles from the city of Singapore. The northern side of the island is mostly covered in dense forests and has winding rivers and wide beaches.
Dugong Resort & Spa is a large resort & golf course built about a mile upstream from a large beach delta on the island, facing East. The course hugs the northern side of the river, with the resort on the southern side, overlooking the entire property. An old rice farm can be seen from a couple of holes on the back nine, being entirely overgrown and out of use today. The course is a hair under 7,000 yards and plays to just 2 par 5s, which happen to be in the first 4 holes on the course.
The course flows through dense forest, yet the forest itself rarely will affect your shot selection. The large bushes, trees and palms that surround the property frame the hillside and the river well, as the ground tumbles from the mountains into the river, and towards the ocean beyond.
In this thread I will be posting some more photos of the course as I go. I have been pretty late to the game in the WIP world as I was really dialing the look in before I got anything, but now I have a lot of the holes & planting in place, I thought I would give it a shot. I will definitely update this thread as I move my way along the course with a few photos here or there. For now here are some shots of the first four holes on the course:
