New beta course - feedback appreciated! GRGCBeta1

[shuggiebhoy1982]

Hey folks,

I’ve just published beta of my course and would greatly welcome any feedback. Further to previous post I have moved some trees around Green areas to limit shadows although there are still a few. I’ve played on PC and lighting and shadows look ok. 

I had a previous course on pga2k22 approved, I’ve spent much more time on this and I think it’s definitely an improvement on my last effort / course.

Hoping some of you can spend the time to play a few holes, let me know what you think and most importantly enjoy your round !

Course names is GRGCBeta1

Thanks all

I had a speed golf round and it looks very nice.
I'd do two things;
1. Drop the size of the bushes closest to the fairways. I hit it into the one on the right of the first and it was all over head high. A few knee high bushes will be enough. Mix some grasses in.
2. The bunkers look a little manufactured. They are well done, but there is a ridge that runs around most of them. They look a bit like a tire with the sand in the middle. I'd drop the side facing the golfer down a foot or two to flatten out the start of them and it will increase their appeal (also look bigger).
Sightlines are all pretty good and I like the planting.

Thanks a lot for playing and providing this feedback.

Noted on the bushes, will work on reducing size but there’s a lot it could get tedious lol!

Grasses - know exactly what you mean but I’m at 98-99 meter at the moment so could be problematic.

Bunkers - also know what you mean regarding a this ugly border that runs around them. All bunkers are splined and I thought this was how to avoid that happening but clearly not, any idea how to remove or at least reduce the border line?

Thanks again Sandgroper

Yes, I figured that the bunkers were splined otherwise there would be a band of heavy rough around them.
I was referring to what I suspect is how you sculpt them.
There seems to be a ridge on the front half.
