Yellowgrass Prairie Club (CC Contest 2021 Winner)

[praetorghostx]

Hey Matt, I was wondering how you would do coming off an awesome tournament course and was not disappointed. It was a lot of fun and I really appreciated that even with the simple planting your background planting as really nice and well done. It didn’t feel like there was ever wasted space or lack of rendering which is not easy. Land movement was nice, not tricked up.

This is probably a top 5 course in the game for me. I like it even more than Shoreditch (which is saying something ). The environment is incredible and the sweeping vistas over the plot are perfect.

If anything, I'm sad I'll never reach the level of greatness this course hits, but I'm so happy for you and this publish. Well done Matty

Stunning course! Loved the colours of the mid-west.
The course has it's defences and I couldn't buy a putt.
There were a couple of places that I got off fairway and had to hack it out to scramble for par.
The entrance off the highway is well done and that's a wonderful clubhouse i.imgur.com/HuxmxIG.jpg
Some good elevation changes to keep it interesting and some mule kicks on the fairways.

It works, I guess. Name is good, though.

just finished playing my first round in Elite here, wow you’ve done a great job on this course, the views are beautiful, there’s plenty of danger but you can plot your way around for a good score.
Best compliment I can give is that I’m looking forward to rounds 2,3&4

this course is a winner

Take note folks, courses with "prairie club" in their name have a perfect win history still. Use this power wisely

Appreciate that a lot! And I'd just like to speak for all designers out there for a moment...thank you for never entering a contest...❤

[patlouvar]

Lots of nice ideas, but the bunkers need sculpting and there's a lot of opportunities to really improve this course. Looks like you're a newer designer? I'd highly recommend the Canuck tutorials as a great way to get an idea of what you're looking for. Look forward to seeing more of your work once you've gotten a few of those under your belt!

Nice job dude. Must of been our stream on Friday that pushed this one through. No thanks required.

Happy to lose to this course. Amazing course and cool story. Continue to enjoy playing this one. Late to the party but congrats again!

I played this one last week as my new course of the week and forgot to post.

I really think you captured the aesthetic you were going for very well.  I certainly enjoyed it!  But all I could think of was the TV show Yellowstone.  Great job on the course!

Bump. If you’re yet to play this course, what are you waiting for? If you already played it, give it another spin.

[mattyfromcanada]

Course has been ported over. New back tees have been added (black), with the white tees being the original.

A few course tweaks were done as well;
- left side of 10 greensite was resculpted
- 14 greensite bunkers brought in more
- 17 fairway bunkers added, greensite bunkers tweaked
- runoff areas around 9 and 12 resculped

Really happy with how the course plays in game. Hope everyone that plays it enjoys!

Plays nice in the new game but #1 is no longer a 3 shotter. I bombed it 410 with the default ball. I kind of hate the new game for that tbh
