Thousand Islands (WIP Thread)

Labour of Love here. Sadly it's about 80 or so percent complete.

Definitely my best work IMHO.

I'm trying to build a course that will showcase the shear beauty of the Delta theme.

Comments are not only welcome, but requested. Good bad whatever, fire away.

I not only started from a blank slate, I lowered the entire plot to 250 feet below sea level and i'm building this from water up. Every blade of grass, every hump and bump is all my creation.

I have nothing against auto gen, but this is way more fun to create, again IMHO.

My pictures do not do this justice sadly again, I would like nothing more than to showcase this piece of work properly, however once you get to play it, you will I'm sure appreciate what has/is being created here.

One this that has me scratching my head, is the cart paths. My thinking in placing them, was/is the white is sand based soil, tough to walk through. What do you think, lose them maybe?

Looks very nice. If I had one critique, it'd be to maybe tone down a few of those colorful plants to where they're not too big. They get a bit fake looking once you size them up some and I noticed it in a couple of pictures. I had the same problem with my tropical course. Other than that, it looks like a beaut to play. Nice sculpting.

Maybe 80% complete was a bit optimistic.

fickett goes off with a movie stuido, and you go with salad dressing

no worries, i named my last course after some random small print on a food box.

looks nice btw, only thing i am not digging is the cart path usage here (directly in front of the tee boxes.

Yep, me too, deleted them all before I even read this, I just could not see them as right, proper or even nice. I think I will just use them for patios and stuff.

Made my flowers smaller as well, thx Duke for that tip.

Thank you Duke and Taste for the much appreciated feedback.

Once this is done I will be sure to hit you guys up for a play and comment.
