Hi all, I made a start on this course a while ago, just after finishing 'Wayfarer's Links' - unfortunately, my work got busy so my freetime was limited. I've now had opportunity to get back at it and thought I'd share some pictures - the layout is complete and a majority of the holes are in and sculpted - still need to work on a couple and complete playtesting before it's released. No name as yet, but it's a heathland / common style. It was originally much greener than the pictures, but with the weather as it is in the UK currently, I've browned it out..... Anyway, cheers.      |

Looks unreal mate! What did you use for the heather? Thanks. It's a bush found within the 'Trees' pages. I've just scaled it down to its smallest size and then sunk into the ground. I found that by spinning it round and altering the depth at which you place it you can get a reasonable effect - still too big really, but acceptable. Each clump on the bunkers is about 3 or 4 plants - where I use it elsewhere on the course - in the carry areas or away from the playing line I just scale it larger, else it gets lost. You can mix it with other bushes etc. to get a slightly fuller effect, but that eats up the meter so I generally just use it on it's own now. Heather is definitely one shrub that the game had needed for a while now. |

There's so many times I've started a heathland project and binned it straight away because I struggle with the planting. Looking forward to this one though! |

The course looks great! Planting looks very natural and nice pics. I'll have to watch out for it.
Cheers
