Got to say the new 14th (the old 15th) looking very nice at Royal Birkdale,lets hope some new lidar data arrives towards the end of the year for there, going to be totally different for the 2026 open.

Did not realise till i checked Royal west Norfolk or Brancaster was not in 2k23,like it was in 2k21 so i added my version to the database.I added a 4th pin set to take it over the R&A required 7000 yards for a course these days on the grounds, other 3 pin set are the course tees.2600 yards from the entrance gate to the 9th green and plot over 3400 yards in distance impossible without lidar i reckon, Did the course at High tide just to make it a little more interesting. It's amazing really when you look at a lot of the uk course how Many holes look and feel the same,the 4th at Brancaster reminds me so much of the 4th at Royal North Devon,just a little shorter at brancaster.

Was you there on the Saturday when the storm Hit and derailed Tiger's Great slam attempt, That was some weather i doubt they would play these days in it.
Got to say the more i have played the course over the last week in different conditions, it's joined RSG,Old course,lytham and prestwick on my play list.

I know 2k will never go for things like this but wouldn't it be special if there was say a Storm setting in the weather and it was 30mph plus winds with rain affecting the course slowing it down puddles, love to try out that 2002 weather at Muirfield on the Saturday, can only dream looking at that Tennis Game it seems 2k are obsessed with VC than producing a decent game.

It's Been a Good run but it seems the 150thOpen championship(L) has been removed from my course folder and course search. Just a Head's up. Did you know that your 'Royal Birkdale The Open' doesn't appear in the course search either? I just stumbled on it while looking through courses in a society i.e. 'The Top 100 List Tour'. There are other Royal Birkdales appearing, including one i wasted a week creating because I thought there wasn't a 'Yeltzman' version! What other ones are out there hiding?

I did design a Lidar version but i gave the course file to the designer TMT money tour released it for 2k21 he did a great job with the stands and i have lost contact with him and he hasn't released his courses in 2k23 i just hope he is ok he did a fabulous whistling straits,forest of arden and kingsbarns as well miss those courses. It's just the course has changed so much the last couple of years will wait for a new version with the changes. The most iconic moment from the 2017 open speith's drop on the 13th captured so well in 2k21. On a different subject not sure if its a new version of your design it was near the front on (L) Lidar searches really enjoyed Wolf creek had one of my best ever rounds and most enjoyable.
