The layout of my first 9 holes are complete. Planting isn't finished and there are a lot of rough areas and i'll probably re do most of the bunkers but if anyone wants to give it a try from the white tees and let me know of any playability issues the front 9 has been published under the name TBwip1
I'll try and get some pictures posted soon.

I've just published a full 18 test version under the name TBwip2.Again there is still planting, sculpting and reworking bunkers left to do but the course itself is mostly finished. If anyone wants to give it a go from the white tees and provide a bit of feedback that would be great. I'm aware the green on the first par 3 might divide opinion and i'm happy to change it if people aren't happy with it.  Thanks. and sorry again for lack of pictures at the moment, I find it a struggle on xbox. |

Hey fs321 - gave your course a run last night (during WhatAboutAmeobi stream - easter egg is fantastic btw!) Finishing up my own course and found time to play a couple of beta's - including yours. My feedback below - I am not an expert and am also a rookie so please take on board what you think is relevant  - Overall parkland feel to the course that plays well, some good hole designs (4th - the par 5 is a great hole using the water hazard and green sloping away from player encouraging a bounding shot into the green; I also liked the long par 3 7th which I thought was framed really well and plays well with a longer club into the green) - Would try and standardise a few of the green shapes - I think the 1st looked really funky in particular - 8th hole I think is the par 5 which isn't reachable - but think this would play better if it was with green sloping away (but conscious that that is the same challenge as the par 5 4th) - I got a funny waypoint on the 3rd tee which had me pitching towards the path in front of the tee - The green on the first par 3 (think its the 5th?) - I think the green shape is a little funky and actually you can achieve the same thing by just mowing green over the gaps to make it a more conventional shape - On 12 the rock planting is good, but the rest of the water being unplanted means it doesn't really fit neccessarily with the rest of the course - 13th - not sure why fairway stops - I would just have fairway all the way to green - 17th is a hole that I can imagine divides opinion - but personally I think it looks great and plays great - but could be a shorter shot as it was a tough approach for a longer iron (150-170 yards would make it a great shorter 3) - Easter egg is fantastic I know you were struggling with photos - are you on console? Have one here of the par 3 5th hole so others can see your course in progress - little town behind looks great and fits nicely  |

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm not quite sure what happened on the 3rd hole, were you playing from the white tees? The waypoint should give you driver to where the fairway narrows. I haven't fully tested the course from the yellow or red tees yet.
I agree about the 5th hole, I was expecting this green to be an issue and i'll be reshaping it at some point.
The planting on the 12th isn't quite finished yet along with the 17th and a few other patches around the course.
I appreciate your other comments and i'll be taking them all into account along with any other feedback I receive and hopefully I can publish a half decent course at the end of this.
Thanks for the picture too, yes I am on Xbox and it's difficult to take and upload decent pictures from around the course.

That's probably the best view on the course so I wouldn't get your hopes up. It's all downhill from there. |

Will take a couple more this weekend and post here, keep it up though, it's looking solid! |

TBwip3 was published last night which will be the last version before the final one. Driving, approach and putting will get a full work out here. Finally managed a couple of screenshots although they haven't come out very well. Here are a few of the tee shots. Hole 1 - Par 4 but don't be fooled by the wide fairway.  Hole 2 - Par 5  Hole 3 - Par 4, find the water and bogey becomes a good score.  Hole 5 - Par 3, One of the more straight forward tee shots, nearly.  Hole 7 - Another Par 3, this one a longish downhill shot.  Hole 12, Driveable Par 4, Green slopes and danger could have a say in how you want to play this one.  Hole 13, Another Par 4, if you leave yourself a long approach you may struggle to hold the green.  Hole 14, Uphill Par 3, this is the view from the green looking over the course.  Hole 17, Par 3, it's quite a long drop, you will be hoping for calm wind conditions.  Hole 18, Long downhill Par 5, choose your own adventure.
