A gentle parkland course, Sutton Brook GC takes inspiration from cosy English parkland courses. It's neither hyper-strategic, long, nor difficult, but I think there's a good amount of interest there. I thought I'd use this to test out the question I'm often asked of 'how long does it take you to build a course?'. Obviously, the answer is 'it depends', but in this case, it was 21 hours, 45 minutes. I'll be uploading a series of videos to YouTube which cover the entire build, but the course is ready for play now. Enjoy!

meunier33: The biggest stat that stands out to me in this game is that my GIR% is only 61, and has been for all of 2K23. I'm not sure how to improve this.

OldManGaming606: ghostgoblin22 Dude, How unappreciative do you have to be to not acknowledge the time and effort the people associated with TGCTours invest for us to enjoy the game. Nobody is forcing you to play. But the verbal abuse is unacceptable.

meunier33: Im seeing a lot of new courses recently that have greens that will roll your ball off the green even if you are very close to the hole

OldManGaming606: Some of us struggling putting on greens regardless of how slow or fast the greens are.

meunier33: 15th hole at Dancing Nun has an error. The light rough above the water hazard is marked as part of the hazard instead of land.

bubbadave: Truthfully. Give me a 170 over a 135 any day.

sroel908: And as someone who's rangered/scheduled hundreds of courses, trying out a wide range of conditions, I can say with certainty that green speeds do have an impact and definitely matter.

sroel908: Green firmness is more about how the ball interacts with the putting surface when you hit an approach into it. A soft green is more receptive, and will allow more backspin than a firm one. A firm green will have less bite and more rollout.

meunier33: I have seen 135 greens that putt like they are 170. Therefore, we can conclude that green speed does not matter.

meunier33: Why isn't there a green firmness meter on the score bug? Green firmness matters much more than green speed.

meunier33: I still play this game like it was the game before 2K21. Up until this month I have never tried to change anything about how I play the game. It has made me worse trying to adapt also.
