Muskellunge River CC

[mrfatmark]

Muskellunge River CC is a project I have had a really fun time creating.   This is only my 2nd attempt at making a course, with my first course not being very good (to put it kindly).  While I am still learning the software,  I feel this course is SO MUCH better and just more enjoyable to play.

The course snakes around the Muskellunge River creating a lot of water features around the entire course.  It has been a challenge to have each hole feel different and not create too much water hazard.   I think there is a good mix of hazard and views.

I still have some planting to do, and finish plotting the last 2 holes.  I would love some feedback and ideas on planting, especially the river. The river ranges between 20-30 yards wide.  It gets shallow in some areas that i have some rocks poking through the water.  I would be happy to let someone beta the course as well for ideas.  I played a course in Virginia called The Golden Horseshoe a couple years ago which gave me the idea of mulch/pine straw under the trees.

Thanks for any feedback.  I am really enjoying creating courses.   Sim City for golfers...haha.  I do wish I could use mouse and keyboard on the ps5.

I posted a beta tonight "8675309 muskellunge beta". At this point I am finishing up planting and play testing 10,000 times making some minor tweaks. Please feel free to give me brutal honest feedback!

TCRBrad did an outstanding review so I'll just add a few things:

#2 cart path circle left of the green is too close as are a few other ones. It would be too easy to hit that and be severely punished with a big bounce. Car paths in general could use some smoothing out with flatten fuzzy brush.

3 waterfalls area: looks bare, unnatural. needs some big rocks and and big sunken trees. He covered it but yeah, more planting along the banks of water.

Course looks good, can't wait to see the final publish. thanks, Bob

Planting is pretty much complete.   I'm having an issue sculpting bunkers as it sinks them in pretty deep when I try and flaten.  Hopefully i will have this posted soon.  Below are updated photos .

Planting looks good and so do the bunker shapes. I tend to flatten with fuzzy brush
