Hole 1 - the bunker in the front of the green is a little jagged, all the other bonkers have beautiful clean lines bit this one is a little different.
Good catch! I started the course with brushed bunkers and switch to splines. This is the only bunker that I missed when changing them over.
Hole 5 - the bunker on the left at the corner about 100 yards short of the green - the way the rough / bunker / fairway surfaces interact at the far end of the bunker might be able to be tightened up a touch.
Another good catch! Seemed it was a "sharpen and smooth" issue with the fairway spline.
9 - this is heading back down the 1st fairway. I don't mind it and it plays well in-game, but it looks fairly hazardous if it were a real course. Not sure if that's going to put some people off?
I know this would be an issue IRL but decided it would be a fun feature in the game. Would have to have a bell or something on each tee IRL for it to work.
10 - not sure if you're planning to put something in to the left of the tee shot?It looks a little bare there. Actually there looks to be significantly less planting on the back 9 in general, not sure if that's design choice or unfinished planting. Edit - just re-read your post above about the back nine being fairly unplanted. Ignore this point.
Yes the back nine is yet to be planted and the left side of 10 is the least planted. I've since added planting throughout the back, but it's still a wip. Should have stated that in the original reply.
12 - I wonder if you could push the fairway out on the right just short of the bunkers 60 or 70 yards short of the green? I don't think it'll affect play because in the game you can bomb 300 yard drives, but I think on a real golf course you'd probably have more room out there for the shorter hitters to get to on their second, and it might add a little more realism to have that landing zone there. There looks to be a natural area for fairway there, where that big tree is.
I pushed the fairway out a little. I believe there are bunkers there now that weren't in the beta. Removed the second tree in the gap.
18 - personally I'm not a fan of those fountains, they just look a little poxy to me when in a lake. I think they work better as a feature out the front of a clubhouse or something.
Yea it might bug me enough that I'll remove it. I wish the fountains were better in this game.
Otherwise it all looks good to my eye. Sculpting, bunkers, greens, hole design - all excellent. Look forward to the final version.
