Axel's right honorable CC course WIP thread

[axelvonfersen]

So I guess I'll kick off a WIP thread as well. Not really aiming to make any noise in the competition besides just creating a solid course and rebounding after my previous course which pretty much became everything I didn't want it to be.

Anyway, enough about me. The required elements will be (tentatively):


- At least one blind tee shot
- Two holes with center line hazards
- A driveable par-4
- At least three par 4s under 400 yards

Inspirations
Mostly inspired by Visby GK, Sweden's finest course with the sort of sandbelty look. Plus a few other course for ideas -  amongst those are Seminole, Bandon Trails. Planting inspo and the windswept look comes from Visby and the Swedish island of Öland.







Sandbelt courses in Sweden? Yup.



Öland, Sweden. 

Preview images at the moment












Hopefully my last design on the PS4. Early days still but it's heading in a direction I like.

Some stuff has happened. Trees have grown.

Looks like a lot of noise. Awesome atmosphere

Progress, progress, progress. Next up is a month of bunker sculpting. Approximately 90% of the bunkers will get some TLC now.

That cart path looks tough as nails. Debating on cart path on my current WIP and yours is making me jealous. Nice work!

Fiddling around with the lighting to make sure it plays well under all conditions. Course is fun to play. Bunkers coming together. Gonna have to re-plant the first four-five holes as I finally settled on the planting mid-way through the course. Fun project, this. Everything really pops when you switch from the default lighting to "dusk".

I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of the bunker style. I find that once you get a few of them looking good you begin to hate the rest. I wonder at which point you'll just have to settle for "this looks good enough".













I'm still at the point where about 80% of the bunkers including a bunch of those in the images above will get a lot of TLC.

Let's hop into the gyrocopter and fly around the island. I think I will reach my goal to have most of the course finished by the time I head on vacation in two weeks, but either way I should be able to finish off the remaining parts of the project during an otherwise hectic (work-wise) August month. Really nice to have so much time to spend on the course - there's no feeling of stress, just really happy with how it turns out. 

Making good progress with the bunker sculpting, there's still  a bunch out there that's gonna get deleted and re-done.

Holidays drawing nearer so I'm not sure how much more will be done between now and August. But it's coming out pretty much how I wanted it to.

I think I've been working on this plot for like 10 weeks - or however long it's been since mattf27 started the CC-signup thread.
