The Wishbone, a course 6 months in the making is now live. I have photos of it, but i cannot seem to post them from mobile. I currently do not have access to my desktop, so i want to apologize for that off the bat for the not-so-flashy post. If there's anyone kind enough to add photos, i would be grateful.
This course was a lot of fun to create, and i hope those that choose to play it enjoy themselves.
The Wishbone is a fantasy island course with a signature 9-12 played on a plot of land the course gets its namesake from. Par 72, 4 pin placements giving each round a new challenge. 4 tee boxes ensure all levels of play may have success. Some holes require smart shot placement, while others are more forgiving. There are elevation changes throughout the course, along with many chances at the water if you're not careful.
I want to thank b101 and crazycanuck for their insanely helpful and inspirational videos, they have taught me so much about the designer.
Please enjoy.

This is a pretty good effort. Sounds like you may be a fairly new designer, so kudos for a solid course. Several areas of blindness, whether off the tee or fairway, either through sculpting or planting, that prevented views of hazards or the green. Greens played well for the most part, a few that were a little dicey. Fairways in spots were a bit tight for master settings and required a pretty precise shot to hit. Overall, hole designs were solid. I think this would benefit from a WhatAboutAmeobi playthrough on his stream to show more details of areas that worked and areas that could use some more love.

Thank you for your feedback. I've designed a few courses now, but this one was the first I've done completely since joining TGCtours. I've learned a lot from the courses already recognized here, and tried to apply it the best i could. I struggle a bit with proportions, so i tried to focus heavily on that. I appreciate any feedback that i recieve on this, i love the designer and want to keep designing.

I liked it. A very good island course with some great risk/reward. There were a couple of penal things like the runoff the left green into the wasteland on the 3rd green. (which I completely missed by red fasting in there by myself). For only 163 greens they had some decent slopes on them. I thought the 11th was a great par 3 hole with a huge green. I like the stretch home and enjoyed my round.

I like the stretch home and enjoyed my round. Im glad you enjoyed your round. I actually toned down the slopes, they were vicious for awhile. Though there were a couple (the 3rd green and i think the 12th, the one with the large ridge cutting the green in half) that if i flattened them out any more i would lose the aesthetic i was going for for that particular hole. The greens were 187 but i changed them to 163 to hopefully take those massive slopes out of play unless a seriously errant shot was made.

I think we played it on stream? If so, cant remember when. Trying to pick up pieces and move on. Just poor timing. Was days away from house appraisal and closing at the end of the month. I checked Amoebis twitch channel but didn't see it, disappointed if i missed it. Oh well. Just happy the course is being enjoyed.
