Palm Center - Not Approved Similar to your last submission, Forest Jump, the hole concepts are fine but this course feels like a step back from that. A few suggestions: - use "smooth path" on anything you spline to straighten out the lines. - use "toggle second surface" to add a band of light rough (or heavy rough) around your fairways. This creates a consistent width of rough rather than trying to brush it pin and the sizes continually varying. - tie in fairway spline points to green spline points. This creates a seamless transition between surfaces rather than one surface ending and another beginning next to it. - Get away from relying on auto gen planting. It doesnt look natural because the game never sinks down any plants or trees so you end up with trunks of bushes sticking up out of the ground everywhere like lollipops. Not the best look IMO. - If you're building a course in 3 days, it's almost certainly not going to get approved unless you decided to not sleep and only took breaks from the designer to eat and go to the restroom. While mattf27 has been known to go on these sorts of design benders (and stream the entire process)...it's not an officially endorsed practice by the TGCTours community. Great! This is the answer I was waiting for. I have a small question. How do you manage to put 3 pictures of the course when we submit it on the "TGC Tours" website? Personally I am a PS4. Do I have to do the courses from a PC? Congratulations again for your involvement Christophe That would be the work of karma4u who provides course pictures for the database.

That is so weird...I know it's live on PS4 (where I published), but WhataboutAmeobi couldn't find it on PC earlier today on his stream either. I'll look into it in the morning, I know the 40 hours or so I put into it weren't all a dream/nightmare haha.

Since divot derby's release the servers have been worse so it's been edging on longer times.

Arid Waters-
Some rough sculpting throughout. The back side on a lot of bunkers seemed forced. For example, the greenside bunkers on 1 and 4 were decent. But the fairway bunkers on 1 and 4 had some weird bumps that could use smoothing into the terrain. I liked the non uniform light rough. Thought spots could have been done better. The waste bunker on one had a thin strip of heavy rough that looked out of place. The ones on 2 and 3 were much better. Unintentional blindness or blindness not done well on 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The next bit are observations and not dings (so please, nobody call me out on Twitter). Wasn't a huge fan of the texture colors. They seemed too bright. A more muted color mixes better with the lighting you chose. It would have hid some of the minor splining issues a bit. Also the mow lines on the fairway and none on the green clashed. The sculpting of the course didn't match the surroundings either. You had jagged rocky areas surrounding the course but the fairways and rough were really flat. Some areas you tried to rough it up a bit but not that well. Others felt like I was on a south Florida course.

Should be all set now...there was no delay in submitting it like there was on Monday...the one with the medium-fast greens is the one I would like to be reviewed for approval.

The course I didnt approve wasnt bad aesthetically, it's a shame he never PM'd about it for more specific feedback.
