I only had time for one round in this test event, only managed -4 but I thought the settings were good. The pro swing I find pretty easy to hit perfects most of the time so adding a little difficulty with no lie grid and no info on the aim marker makes it more challenging. I'm currently in the Elite tour, would be happy if these settings were used for the season.

Again folks… the current cc event that ends today has the old settings… looking for feedback on the next event that starts in like 9 hours, called Challenge Circuit Test

Point 3 from Doyley regards hud.
Just for clarity , does that mean we have to change our own personal settings for that part.

Played the first round on this (shot -3 with a silly bogey on the last) and I have no issue with the settings. They don’t make anything to true simmy but remove a little bit of the ability to do golf by numbers. The only one I have a concern about is that without the elevation on the marker when it comes to putts we are left a bit blind when puts go beyond the 1ft there’s no way (as far as I’m aware) of knowing whether it is 1ft elevation or 1.9. Again I don’t mind this overly, experience will undoubtedly be a teacher if these are the settings and something to make putting more tricky at a pro club level might well be needed anyway. Btw it’s been nice to see so many Xbox players playing and scoring well. It’s been lonely at times for the last few months. Thanks as always Doyley and the team the fact we are doing this shows the level of consideration and thought you guys put into these decisions.

Just an FYI - The new CC test event hasn't started yet...the event in CC right now is still a test that's been going on for a few days. The new one that will have the Special Event settings, but modified as Doyley mentioned in the OP, will start in about 7 hours.

I didn’t have an issue with these settings at all. Is it more difficult if you use metric Ken? To be fair I'm very maths based with my putting distance and my distance control is one of my strengths. I usually use Imperial but that has the nearest foot rounding error so I use the indicator to give myself an accurate height measurement in inches by moving it to the hole. I can get that accurate measurement in metric in this trial method but I would then have to go back to imperial to figure out where to place the marker by counting squares. All that wasted time to figure out something the game normally just gives me. I have just tried a couple of holes on Special Events. I agree with Ken on this. I don't like this aim marker setting. I don't just hit putts based on the distance the game gives me - I do my own calculations. On the second hole I played I had a 31 foot up 1ft. I would normally go to the hole to find out what the actually elevation is. In this case it is probably more accurately something like 9inches up rather than the much vaguer 1FT up that the HUD information provides. I would then decide how hard to hit it once I know the actual accurate information. This change to the aim marker setting would take away the ability to calculate putt distances in this way. I would prefer the aim marker to stay as it is for Challenge Circuit personally.

Played a round in the Pro test 1 Special Society today and a round on the outgoing CC society course, didn't really see much difference between current Tour settings and this. Instead of seeing distance and elevation under the triangle marker thingy its now listed in the hud instead? And occasionally one has to actively search around for the location of the green when hitting from the tee on par 4's and 5's due to no x marks the spot indicator, might in the end add a couple of seconds overall in time taken from 1st tee to 18th hole pick up. Come to think of it now, can't recall i ever saw distance to and elevation of shots not aimed at the green, but there is still a marker that i assume indicates the general distance club in hand would travel in flat, no wind Besides, in my case, ball flight direction and distance carried is dictated by severity of measured off tempo swing rather than wind, elevation and lies, so perhaps anything that would make it harder for the sweet hitting tempo guys will benefit me i guess. Got my vote for cc tour, keep lie grid and wind speed indicator off too while we're at it, no need to make those ozone depleting computer chips working harder than what's necessary!

If lie grid and wind indicator are off, then these would be the exact same settings as the Pro tours, I believe. It's been said that the admins are looking for a common structure, but want minor tweaks between CC and the Pro Tours.

Pretty much my feeling Croccy. Those of us from the Hit And Hope School of Golf are pretty much already playing those settings 🤣 It’s the maths scholars that may suffer!!

Not really. We just have to spend extra time to figure it out. Just means more time in the rounds. Which I'm not looking forward to...

Aye Ben, the way the game is meant to be played. Anything over 20 mins per round means i took too many shots!

I hear you, but if the tweaks are only going to be minor, then what's the point really, everyone might as well play same settings then. We are all the same, some are just a bit better players than others. On the other hand, if the difference decided on is major, then it just might create a dividing wall where some peeps will sandbag simply not to promote into much harder settings.

Never mind maths scholar Kara, with your results you’re a Professor!! Congrats on the Championship.
