Not seen this one on your list but to me TPC Harding Park (tour) a lidar version of the 2020 pga championship one of the best lidar's around i reckon with the pin positions etc. Oh ya the course Colin Morikowa won on! I played it on pin 1 with a medium north wind and ya there were definitely some tough pins to get to. The 16th short par 4 was a cool hole. I don't know if its a template or not, but the green has a narrow opening with a big tree and bunker on the front right guarding the tucked right pin. If you are right on your first shot, you'd virtually have zero angle to get to that pin, encouraging you to go for it. Maybe its a narrow, I don't now. Anyway, Colin went for it with a driver or wood, made the green and eagled to pretty much seal up the championship. I did the same thing but made birdie. I have an appreciation now for how good that shot really was in real life. That's the cool thing about RCRs is you get to experience the situations you'd get into in real life and see how truly difficult some of those shots are. I played Carnoustie the other day, there's a long par 3 with a skinny green on the front nine and OB on the left. I was playing into a strong crosswind, and pulled my first two shots OB with the hybrid. I made a 7 lol. IRL that would be a ridiculously hard hole! The guy who made Harding Park did a really good job on it but I'm not a huge fan of the course itself. IRL I can see the challenge, the fairways are narrow, the rough is long and there are a lot of trees. There just aren't any really standout holes for me. Was it the first municipal course to host the PGA Championship?

BRITISH HEATHLAND Old Wickham Heath - A worthy champion of its contest. Very cool bunker style and overall hole design. The purple flowers are very visually appealing. Shoreditch Common GC - Bearded Bunkers! Fun fairway slopes. I keep going back and forth between putting this 1, 2 or 3. Saxondale - Great hole designs, one of the best in this style for sure. DESERT When done well this can turn out really good but I'm generally not a huge Steppe fan. Talisan Golf Club - I think its the best desert style course in the game, at least that I have played. The elevation is superbly utilized and I like the feeling of seclusion when playing the holes. Deschutes River Club - Very cool wooden fences in the bunkers. I purposely chipped right up to one to mess around, then blasted driver backwards off it lol. But a very cool unique design. God Ra - This course is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Very cool doglegs and perched greens and some massive blow out bunkers Ash Meadows, Nevada -Pretty good replay value, my 3rd favorite from National Treasure 22. Sandy Boots - Really nice planting and some great drivable par 4s. Old Sunset Field - Cool, unique setting and good strategy and use of the ground game. Remanent 1824 - I feel the ground game is slightly lacking but a very unique environment. Mineral Ridge (Tour) - The best "pure green grass contrasting with white sand bunkers in the desert" course for me. TROPICAL I generally don't go searching for Tropical courses as they aren't really my style but these ones I like Kaiuma Bay - I still cannot figure out the exact landing spot and execute that drivable par 4 4th. Nice clubhouse perched up on the waterfall. Pretty fun layout in the best tropical setting. Hon Cau Bay - Pretty fun shots and nice views, would be a pain in the ass to maintain though lol Seminole Golf Club - Really well done RCR, if you watch the Golf Digest Hole by Hole and then play this, its very accurate. She has a reputation for tough greens to hold IRL but I always score really well here. But that's just probably the game. Kaho'olawe Golf Club - Fun course with some nice views Evangelist Golf Club - I like it better than Sawgrass and the swampy pine straw look is cool. Kapalua Plantation - Fun course in high winds with the elevation and contours. For another British Heathland try “West Hill Gold Club 2k21” it’s a top 100 course IRL, for another links try “Hayling Golf Club (L)”

INLAND LINKS Hilly dunesy style courses like Sand Hills or traditional links like Royal St. George's. There may be coastal views, but water isn't really in play. Sattler Heads - Black - Oh my god this course is crazy good, definitely one of my top 10 favorites. The shot values are so fun and the cross course views of the blue course are killer. Some phenomenal planting and waste bunkers. Lost Preserve (Tour) - IRL this would be the best Bandon course hands down, just crushed it out of the park on this. The one hole with the blind tee shot over the massive dune, I stand on the tee box for more than a minute or two and wipe the drool off my face every time. IMO, I like Sattler a little more but by the most slim of margins. Fight me. Peconic Fields GC (Tour) - This is what I envisioned Shinnecock should have been. Very strategic and challenging and he just nailed the countryside look. Kingsley Club 2022 - One of the funnest courses currently in the game IMO. Over time I think this will shoot shoot up the American rankings. Sand Hills Lidar - Ya I can see how that is ranked top 10 or 15 in America. Coore/Crenshaw are really good architects. Visually its nothing to shake a stick at but solid and I guess that's why they call Nebraska a flyover state eh? Yellowgrass Prairie Club - I wish this course were really in Saskatchewan, it would put my home course Dakota Dunes to shame. The size of this plot and the valleys and hills between holes are pretty impressive. T'kope Tatoosh - Sick course, I really like the par 3s and the Bandon esq vibes on this one. Bragg Highlands - Some wacky holes. I love the tightly mowed fringe areas with the grid and the wide light rough which is a courteous gift for those crazy fairways. Friars Head - I love the clubhouse and the feeling of isolation between the huge dunes on some of the holes. I will never get a chance to play this private course. I think it will continue to rise in the RL rankings and overtake Fisher's Island for the better New York course one day. St Enodoc GC, Cornwall (L) - A charming and cheeky little par 69 links. Silent Dunes - A good variety of dunesy holes and holes with the lake in play, very nice looking. Lahinch (2019 Irish Open) - Fun old school links. Another find from the No Laying Up Youtube channel. Playing the blind punchbowl par 3 with no scout cam is mandatory. St. Andrews - An obvious classic but a little on the easy side. But if you miss your approach you can face some monster putts. The road hole is still a pretty damn challenging par and an almost impossible birdie, for me at least. Royal County Down - This might be the RCR which underwhelms me the most. I mean, the designer did a great job with the routing and hole design to accurately mimic the real course as far as I can tell. But the planting and atmosphere just isn't there for me. If you look at the video on their official website, it looks amazing and worthy of a top 3 links course IRL. If you look at the in game version, it just doesn't compare. But the holes are still great. I wish someone would take this file and just go nuts on the planting and redo the bunkers. Royal Beardshaw Old Links -Not much elevation but I like the fans lining the fairways and I've hit my fair share of them. Te Arai Dunes - Love the exposed sand look and the extreme width that adds to the replay values with wind/pin settings. Royal Dornoch - This is one i play on max settings, and those perched greens are tough to hit/hold. Rath at Scarden Beg - This course snuck up on me the first time I played it, it's a tough track. Erin Hills (Tournament) - The biggest defense this course has is its length. I was shooting long irons into almost every hole and playing into the wind, it's a brute. Chambers Bay - This course is hard, the extreme uphill approaches get me everytime. Shinnecock Hills - This is a course that I don't think justifies the top 5 RL ranking. I haven't played it IRL and maybe its a beast but on this game its pretty easy. If you max out the settings to give it the '04 US Open USGA lost it vibe, maybe. The back nine gets a little better, but overall I don't see the hills. Maybe this RCR just doesn't do it justice. Has anyone played this IRL? Glad you enjoyed St Enodoc though, it’s a fantastic course IRL, will be renovating it for the new game when it comes out, I’m a better designer now than when I released it, I’ll use the fescue method I used in TCC, Brookline (US Open) which should work well

paddyjk19: Thanks for the suggestions on the courses to play I will have to try them out. Hopefully they are quirky which I've found most UK style courses are.
Ya Enodoc is a really fun course, I usually play it in very high winds and take a shorter driver cause its a pretty short course. I'd imagine it's pretty fun in real life! Thanks for making it, I think it's one of the better links/countryside courses in the game.

Thanks for making it, I think it's one of the better links/countryside courses in the game. Thank you! If you like quirky you’ll like West Hill, arguably some of the best short holes in the South of England and notorious greens. I was actually Assistant Head Professional there for 3 years. With it being a par 69, you’d rarely see anything better than 67 shot in the annual pro am and that included a few tour players like Matt Fitzpatrick playing. The modern golfer still has to play the routing as it was designed 150 years ago - you can’t over power the course which for me is the hallmark of excellent design! It does mean occasionally hitting three woods on par 5s but so be it! Hayling Golf Club is a favourite amongst golf architecture buffs who love “the ground game”, really interesting course and a nice environment Brookline is probably my most complete course, took over 200 hours and has a lot of detail. If you’d prefer to play the members routing just search “The Country Club, MA. (L)”. St Enodoc was my third course so there’s a lot of amateurish planting and I’ve developed superior methods since then, feels weird it being my most played course behind Brookline as I feel I can do a much better job when I renovate it on the new game. Will make sure to post on here when it’s done. Just hope they give us pit bunkers soon so I can really do it well

I played a round at your course and I must say I came away pretty impressed overall! With it being just over 6,300 yards I went into it thinking I was gonna tear it up. I took the crappy 267 driver and turned the winds up to high north to be fair.
The short length is deceiving because the fairways on a lot of the par 4s require you to hit 3 wood or even less, with the rough or placement of bunkers pretty much forcing you to do so. So you are still hitting mid to long irons on your approach. Also the overall "tightness" of the course would make it play pretty tough in real life. With only two par 5s, there are less scoring opportunities as well. Usually you can hit one bad or average shot and still make par or sometimes even birdie. On 3s and 4s you pretty much have to hit your shots to birdie them.
I thought the par 3s were especially tough and well designed, I bogied one, birdied one and played them even overall.
The one dogleg par 4 on the back nine was a great hole. You could play a very risky drive over the trees to a pretty tight landing spot guarded by bunkers or lay back with a still difficult iron shot to a tight fairway and have a long approach. I hit 4 iron and still found the left rough lol.
18 was a great closer to. With the OB behind the green you pretty much have to hit a perfect iron shot or play short and deal with that tricky green. That would be a really hard hole to birdie in real life.
I did hit one of my most memorable shots I've ever hit on this game. On the drivable par 4 12th, I had the wind at my back, pointing to about 2 o'clock. Driver was definitely too much and I took awhile to decide between 3 wood or 3 hybrid. I went with 3 wood, aimed just off the left rough, hit a nice stroke, the ball landed about 10 or 15 yards short of the green, rolled onto ridge dividing the upper plateau and back down into the hole for the ace on a par 4! I think that might be my first ace on a par 4 in this game.
I ended up shooting a 7 under 62 but this game is easy and I could see how 67 would be a great score in real life.
Really good job on the planting. I liked the rose bushes and purple grasses which always make heathland courses unique and stand out. Also the clubhouse and little shacks, buildings and bridges were well done throughout.
A nice little hidden gem I thought. Who was the real architect and how much does it cost to play a round there? I am in Canadian currency.

grovey31"Fishers Island, Shinnecock, Sand Hills, National Golf Links – only playing these LIDAR/RCR courses in game will never do them justice. In real life, you get to stand on the ground, walk the fairways, and see everything in 360 degrees at eye level. You get the experience from actually being there." Off the top, I apologize for taking a dump on NGLA. I think the biggest problem was I played the wrong version! I honestly hadn't played it or stopped looking for it since TGC 19. I remember that lidar version being really easy and seriously lacking in atmosphere and aesthetics. Hence why I questioned it's lofty status. www.tgctours.com/Course/Details/25331#:~:text=First%20opened%20for%20play%20in,expertly%20balancing%20risk%20and%20reward. After finding that version, the pictures looked way way better. I keep seeing the course being ranked extremely high in the real life rankings and it's famous holes being referenced in articles and videos etc. So I gave it a second chance. Over the last couple weeks I have played 4 rounds there. Each round with high winds, in a different of the four directions and all four pin settings. I really tried to visualize what the experience would be like if I was there in living colour. I shot a 70 with four bogies in round one. A 68 with two bogies in round two. A 67 with one bogie in round three. And a bogey free 63 in round four. All on pro settings with VF fairways, moderate and fast greens. I got more familiar with the course by the last round and definitely knew where not to hit it. But the first two rounds I really took some dumb risks and paid the price haha. Pretty much every hole is great, unique and the course has incredible variety. Pound for pound, I would now argue that its overall collection of holes would be tough to beat from any course in real life. The angles really matter there and the greens are ridiculously tough. The holes played different each round. I'm not a template expert but I am learning and this course has a reputation for being the best in the world in that regard. The famous Redan par 3, (# 4 or 5 I think) I couldn't manage to birdie it. Beast of a hole, that would be very tough and very rewarding if you could in real life. I can see how the members enjoy it so much. Its scoreable but you would really need to execute and you can find yourself in some spots where you are pretty much dead. And you could play there hundreds of times and still find yourself in a new scenario with a new shot to hit. It can really challenge the scratch golfer but the higher handicap golfer always has a way to play for par or bogey as well. The guy who made this game version completely hit a home run here. Some of the lake views would be amazing in real life, particularly the 18th. Some of your tee shots standing in a tree environment and then walking out into the open would be incredible. Playing towards, and around the windmill is iconic. Now I understand why it is ranked top 5 in America and top 10 in the world. All-time great architecture. Amazing setting to play golf. Historically significant and often copied but never duplicated.

I am in Canadian currency. Really good review! And well done on the ace! That 12th hole is a fantastic short 4, the more you play it the more you’ll see it, typically the local knowledge is to lay up when the flag is on the top level as you can make an easy 5 if you go long with your tee shot, guess you could just hit it in the hole from the tee! Glad you got to see why the architecture is so good, it proves a test can still be had at 6300 yards when modern clubs don’t make the test any easier! Enodoc is a bit like that too! The 18th is probably one of the best “closers” I’ve come across, seen many a great round lost by going in the rhododendrons left of the green or long OB. I actually had a pretty interesting first round there - I was starting my first day in the pro shop at 12pm so nipped out for a quick round before, from the middle of the fairway I pushed my 6 iron and it took one bounce on the path and ended up in the car park below, luckily missing the cars and ending up near the railway. Not an ideal start to a new job! The architect was Cuthburt Butchart who was also the clubs first professional in 1909, not sure what the fees are now but were £85 a round or £130 for the day back in 2014, imagine it’s around £100 a round now

I agree with this completely, I couldn’t understand the fuss until I played a well presented version with the environment nailed - always appreciated the design but not the course until the version you mentioned was released. I feel Pine Valley has the strongest set of holes globally, for me it’s just perfect! Just wish we had a great version of it in the game, maybe a project for me in the future although Swinley Forest and Hankley Common are my two biggest priorities in the new game

I'll have to come back to the course and try out some different pins. If it was pinned on the upper tier, laying up and playing a full wedge would probably be the right play for sure. "The 18th is probably one of the best “closers” I’ve come across, seen many a great round lost by going in the rhododendrons left of the green or long OB.

Did you play your ball from where it landed or take a drop? 100 bucks seems like a pretty decent price for West Hill, we gotta pay close to that for some pretty junk courses in Saskatchewan. "I feel Pine Valley has the strongest set of holes globally, for me it’s just perfect! Just wish we had a great version of it in the game, maybe a project for me in the future" A little tough to compare the two, I think PV is more penal whereas NGLA is more strategic and gives you some more options on how to play the holes. A higher handicap golfer like myself would really struggle at PV with the big carries over waste areas and the severe runoffs around some of the greens. But ya, PV is always ranked top 3 in any rankings for a reason and I won't argue with you there. You should totally tackle that project. The lidar version plays really good, but it is definitely lacking in the planting. Maybe it's too hard to duplicate the rugged waste areas in game, I'm not a designer, I don't know. Also Royal County Down if there is lidar available, is another one of my biggest gripes of the RCRs. Really needs a step up in the look and atmosphere to give it justice, if possible.

Yeh I’d love a better version of RCD for sure, again one of my favourite courses (well all holes apart from the 17th and that stupid pond in the middle of the fairway…), not sure the LiDAR data in Ireland is at the standard of the rest of the UK yet but will keep checking for it! The waste areas should be easy enough to do in the designer, if you look at how they were done at Cypress Point and Friars Head, a designer could do something similar for PV but with heavier planting and variety, that would get it pretty close for sure. Definitely interested in how the new designer is in the new game, might have even more options (he says optimistically!)

You know the best thing about the TGC brand you can always attempt to design a better version yourself if your not happy with a version.
Always had this rule since TGC1 i call it the 3 hole rule, I feel i know if i am going to like a course after 3 holes just by the design and feel of it.If not close the course down and move on plenty to choose from.

yeltzmanYa, I have quit rounds numerous times after a few holes. I've seen enough and it's not worth the time to play all 18 with the number of other fantastic courses in this game. Royal County Down is just such a legendary course and it needs a better version. I might try my hand at the designer in the new game and see if I can improve on it.
