Brookdale Village CC

[bennyk315]

Welcome to Brookdale Village, a private northeast style country club. This course was made in inspiration for the Parkland/Golden Age Design Contest that I am running to produce some more courses of this style, and let other designers maybe go outside their comfort zone and try something new. 

About the course, being a parkland style brings tight routing, tree-lined fairways, and a clean feel. I tried to make this course be as real of an experience as possible, putting little details into every aspect of the course. Out of all of my courses, this is by far the toughest imo. Smaller greens, tightly guarded by bunkers and trees, meaning if your tee shot does not hit the fairway good luck hitting the green. The green firmness is set to about 80%, so shot shaping and spin control is required to stick some shots tight. On the tee shots, be aware of how far you decide to hit the big stick, as you may find yourself blocked out by trees.

This is a big photo dump, but I couldn't help myself to take as many pics as I did. Hope everyone enjoys this, and maybe find an inspiration to join the design contest I am hosting as I listed above, plenty of participants already with some great judges!

Routing birds-eye view, and driving range

Did you get rid of the willows?

Looks great, Ben - can't wait for my round.

A bit of Hush Valley but without the tournament flavour bennyk315 ? Loved Hush and this also looks good.

And the willows aren't that bad. Waterfalls and disproportionately sized rockscapes are far far worse.

Keep up the good work.

I could go on and on about my hatred towards willows. They just look terrible in game

Yes Charles the willows are gone just for you

Looks very authentic & should inspire the contest entrants.
I'm going to schedule this on my Wacky Wednesday 4way high stake Skins Twitch show for the 18th August & will post a link to the VOD in due course.

Definitely nailed the parkland vibe, which isn’t surprising. And I agree, this is probably the toughest course you’ve designed. Greens were solid, hole designs were good. Premium on keeping it on the fairway for sure. Couple of spots where the trees were a touch close and overhanging but nothing awful. Just a very solid, well done course.

Cant wait to get home and give it a play, probably my most anticipated WIP so really excited. Love your parkland courses they are by far the best in the game for that style and I cant wait for your contest, very cool

I did spot a few willows on the way round but this was lovely. Really enjoyed it!

Really enjoyed the course though!
