Welcome to Emerald Basin Reserve The course measuring 6,887 yards from the tips is set in Northern English Marshland and the course is of a links style, complete with some blind and semi blind shots if out of position in the rough or bunkers or even on the wrong side of some fairways. As the course is set in Marshland it's a reasonably flat course with the 9th hole having the biggest elevation change of only 15ft, however the fairways are undulating and it should still provide a test to the CC players with Platnium, Elite and Kinetic players I'd expect to score well on the default settings. For a harder challenge up the green speeds to Fast settings and the fairways to Firm. Hope you all enjoy the course and feedback is always welcome.

My design elements are: 1) Template "Bottle" (3rd) Real life example 12th Sunningdale 2) Course less than 6900 yards 3) 4 greens within 200 yards (2nd, 5th, 6th & 15th) 4) Drivable Par 4 (7th)
5) 5 Par 3s 6) 5 Par 5s 7) Par 3 Shorter than 125 yards (6th)

Really dug this one Allan. I would say this is definitely at the top end of tracks from you. Love the wheat bush as marsh grasses. I would have done that if I had the meter to but had to stick with regular grasses, you being able to pull it off ehre worked great. At first I was thinking driver was too pinched but then I realized the coruse length and how that's point and not I think that was pulled off really well. Great job abd good luck in the comp!
Also stop stealing my ideas! First we both do "mountain" courses, now we both do marsh lands! haha

Thanks for playing it and good luck with your publish Tyson

Great job. You have really improved over the past several publishes. I think early on some of the course you put out really didn't fit my eye (just me, your work was good). I am a sucker for realism as opposed to more fantasy courses. These last three of four tracks have really kept me engaged and lurking around the plot take in the course you provided. Really enjoyed this one. Best of luck in this contest.

Another solid course Allan, you have to have a bit of thought to your shots on it. Great environment and the planting doesn't encroach too much on the holes.
Good luck in the contest

Impressed with this one mate I’ve got it down as your best, good challenging hole strategy start to finish.

Really enjoyed my round, is as nice of a marshland course as I’ve played. I enjoyed the fact that I had to pause to think about club selections off the tee, and found the greens to be challenging but enjoyable. Good luck in the competition!

Played it this morning. Damn Allan Eastwood I loved Fiddlers Elbow and your previous work, but I think this might be your best yet! All in all, beautiful course with a ton of strategy built in to make the golfer think not only off the tee but question the approach shot with the green complexes, with 17 being my fav. Planting a marshland is tricky to make it look realistic but you nailed it my man. Tough but fair on all shots as you gave ample bail out areas.
Smashing course my man.

Really nicely done with the water’s edge and the draw distance for the planting!
