Interlaken Forest Beta

I started a thread under Completed Courses for Interlaken Forest Beta and then realized I should have probably placed it here if I want to receive any feedback.

Here is a link to the thread, where you can find the information about the course.

Unfortunately I can't play 2019. I had a quick look at your playthrough vids and it looks like a nice forest course, so I do look forward to being able to play on 2k21

You make a good point fargo. I should have created a BETA version for PGA 2K21 before posting here. So now I have.

Here is what I call the Skyview that shows the complete layout of the 18-hole course from above:

Skyview

Here is a hole-by-hole flyover of all 18 holes from a closer distance that will give a better look at each hole. My apologies - this one is a little jerky and, because there are so many trees, the branches get in the way occasionally. You may want to take dramamine before watching if you are prone to motion sickness. Just kidding.

18 Hole Flyover

When you import a course from TGC 2019 to PGA 2K21, a little cleanup is often required. I noticed a few things I will need to address (like grass growing in the concrete pads of the washrooms and shelters, but I will take care of them later. I think this beta version is clean enough to give you a pretty good feel for the course. I played 18 holes from the back tees and did not find any tees that are not level. The pin placements, green contouring, bunkers, etc., all seemed to import as designed. So I think the basic features as designed are intact.

Because, as you will see from the Skyview, the holes run counterclockwise around the entire lake, many are constantly turning left. I believe there are 9 holes that dogleg left. I tried to build in a margin for some error at the doglegs because doglegs can become unplayable if the fairway landing area is not large enough to accept shots of varying distances and still present a reasonable second shot. I believe most present the option to hit a driver or fairway wood off the tee and still negotiate these corners, but if you notice any that seem to be too penal, let me know. I cut down a few extra trees at the corner of Hole 6 (I believe) because a short tee shot too far left there was encountering severe tree interference on the second shot. I can thin the trees on other holes if you see a problem.

Thanks for reading.
