Don't forget about the great Delta theme obsession of 2K21. With the heavy rough removal tool, you're about to see a huge influx of delta courses, again I don't mind seeing them, it's hearing the same loop of bird sound effects that was driving me nuts. Something about hearing tropical birds on a course made to look like it's in North America or England that was very off-putting for me. |

Worth checking the work of Seth Raynor, Pete Dye and others. Coore and Crenshaw sometimes also use a bunkering style with similar aspects and heathland courses can have them as well. It’s not from your everyday muni, but they’re pretty well known. Thanks B,
I totally understand that these designers use this style. But what about other designers? What about a little course called Augusta National? Definitely not your everyday muni and I'm not sure if there's a single flat bunker to be found on Augusta. There are a lot of amazing courses and designers out there that don't have flat bunkers all over the place.
I play some fantastic courses in North Carolina that don't have any flat bunkers. They usually have a flat spot, but that doesn't mean the ball funnels down to that flat spot. More often than not, the ball I'm hitting is above or below my feet.
I think what I'm asking is why is there such a premium put on this design style within TGC? I feel as if everyone is so focused on creating flat bunkers that have 0" of elevation change, when that's not the reality of golf, and definitely not the reality of some really famous courses. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it feels as though it's almost a check in the negative column if my courses don't incorporate flat bunkers.
I think it’s more a case they’re very hard to achieve in the designer with the auto sculpt bunker feature, think folks are just excited when they find an easy work around rather than the excitement of actually seeing a flat bunker |
