Pennybacker National - Not Approved
Really interesting layout that features very nice holes. But the terrain work is poor to say the least. Unsculpted bunkers, heavily usmoothed terrain all over the place, mounds in front of some tees. If the designer works that area, this is a really nice course. But at its current state I can't approve it

Wildflower Lakes Country Club - Not Approved Despite the designer took some time manicuring the course, the main playing surfaces look autogen. And in a few spots they don't look nice:

Alpine manor CC - Not Approved
This course lacks any kind of smoothness, the sculpting is, simply put, raw

Curious... can a par 54 18-hole course be approved? (All par 3s) That's a good question. Whose official answer I don't know. My opinion, since the database is mainly oriented to finding tour event host courses, would be leaning towards no. I'd go only with par 69 to 74 (preferred 70-73) courses

Kingsberry Bay GC - Not Approved
The designer of this course has put some effort into this one. But the final result is missing the needed quality to be approved. Mainly two things have kept me away from approving the course
The terrain work is poor, most of the sculpting is asking for smoothing
The different textures are laid out carelessly, with the rough appearing and disapperaing around the fairways throughout the whole course

St.Hedwig G.C. - Not Approved
The course is not bad, but the sculpting in the bunkers killed it all

Silent Valley Golf Links - Not Approved.
In short? the sculpting in this course is very poor. The whole terrain needs tons of smoothing, zero attention has been given to the bunkers. Despite the course features some interesting ideas, and I do like a lot the ligthning, the flaws in the terrain work are too obvious for me.

Field stone hills golf club - not accepted
Not the worst course I've played but had way to many issues.
In order that I saw them.
No simatry between fairway and rough wasn't good Mulch was just placed and looked very poor Bunker sculpture wasn't realistic and surrounding was flat Pins where ok but 2 illegals on front nine Tee boxs some weren't even near flat Some fairways where about 10y wide Cart paths unwalkable in parts and undrivable in others Planting was lazy and sporadic Bunkers dissecting 2 -3 cuts of rough.
Now the layout was good and the waterfall on 5 was beautiful personally I think this is a good starter course and the designer by watching TGCTours channel Sculpting with scampi and the review show would benefit greatly.
Look forward to another attempt from this designer a case of good ideas poor exicution
