A few people have asked me when this is going to appear in 2k23. Short answer, a few weeks... This course was my most popular in 2k21 with around 30,000 plays on PC and was also my first course used by the Platinum Tour. It was however my 2nd ever release and when looking at the planting, it made me cringe a little bit! The object meter was also at 130% due to all the multiplanted grass and bushes. I deleted all the multiplant objects which got me to 85%, I'm hoping that by replacing all the small individual bushes with buried trees, that I can cover larger areas with less objects plus the new trees give us some amazing scope. Also with individually placed grasses and some strategic use of desert grass, I'm hoping to get some good long range fescue to really make this pop a little bit. I'm taking some inspiration from how b101 planted Lachlan, it's really well done. I'll also be looking at my textures and use of fog in the estuary to make the environment much superior to 2k21. Here's my first attempt at a gorse wild area, really liking it so far!  |

This was always my second favourite of your courses behind The Country Club. No disrespect to Hayling, Stoke Park, Mill Ride and West Hill it's a course I would love to play IRL. From your recreation I get the sense it oozes character and I like that in a golf course. Cannot wait for this. Thank you!

Will be interesting how you design the new waste area's they have put in there,i find them really tricky to design some look better than others depending on lighting.  Been Trying to Update Hillside but the last year or so another course just been changed by waste area's going to need some need lidar data.  |

Ah! They’ve gone for waste areas too, will have a think as to whether I leave it as it was or pursue this, thanks for the heads up!

Awesome cheers! I’m just aiming to improve the planting as it was very amateurish in my last release! I’ll definitely look at the waste areas to stay current for sure but only if they look ok. I think I quite liked the ones at Princes / st Georges |

Best course I've ever played and I've played about 75 in England and Wales. |

Reading reviews of players most say the front nine does not quite match the back nine, it might be the reason in the last couple of years they have changed i reckon something on every hole on the front nine, they lost a few trees as well in the big storm a few months ago, so many great courses in England and Wales. New 7th Hole  |

Royal Liverpool changing as well for next year's open. It’s contagious! I don’t mind the changes that have happened at Enodoc, it’s opened up the views a bit so I’ve gone with it for my renovation, those videos you referenced were very helpful so thank you, I’m about 10 hole through now so maybe another week. Should be a massive improvement on the 2k21 release |

Progress has been made, I'm still getting all trees and bushes done first, on 12th hole currently, will then do the grasses last.  |

Now messing around with the long grass options, the course is stunning without it but if I can produce good fescue it might raise the bar a little.  |
