Cabinville- not approved Significant surfacing issues throughout. First hole is a 150 degree dogleg where the green is 150 yards from the tee. I certainly appreciate the audacity there, but the course just didn't really play well enough to justify those decisions in my opinion.

Sunbury Golf Club - not approved Significant playability issues. There's some issues with technical stuff, but nothing too terrible. Most of the issues are related to the hole designs. Greens are really, really tiny, and most of the pins I saw would be illegal for tour use. There's a lot of tee shots that are arbitrarily pinched, and a 150ish degree dogleg you can just crank an 8i over. I'd recommend taking a look at some tutorials, or playing along with some TGCTours events to get a feel of how those courses play.

Shady Pines - not accepted This one was right on that line for me. There were a little bunkering and surfacing issues that could be cleaned up, but nothing that affected how the course played, and it played solid (at least for the couple holes I played). I would have marked it accepted, if it wasn't for all the objects sitting in the fairways just off the green. Remove those, and there's a solid chance it's approved.

Wolf Hollow - not approved Okay, seriously. Please stop putting random objects in your fairways. There's random bushes, a trash can, and little concrete circles I'm assuming are supposed to be sprinkler heads? It's very solidly in the approved category otherwise, and with a little polish it has a shot at tour worthy in my opinion. It's totally a judgement call on how much of a technical misstep the random stuff in your fairways is, but since it's repeated frequently throughout the course, I think that pushes it over the edge. If you wanted to publish a version of this course without the stuff in your fairways, let me know, and I will happily edit the database entry.

Lakeview Course & Resort - not approved The ideas are there for this course, but the surfacing is very rough, and the sculpting could use a little work. Lots of very small, perfectly flat bunkers. I'm not sure if the designer is in the forums or not, so hopefully he gets to see the feedback. None of his courses are "bad," and there's a ton of really solid ideas throughout the ones I've reviewed so far. Some of them play really solid, have good sightlines, etc. and are just let down by the technical mistakes you'd expect from a new designer. I'd love to see the designer keep at it, and check out a couple tutorials on how to use the tools.
Oh, and another note: please submit the course into the database exactly how it's spelled in game. Tried searching for it with the "and" instead of the ampersand as it was entered in the database, and had a hard time finding it.

Hill Club - Not Approved
There is only one pin set. TGC Tours requires 4. Also doesn’t help there is only one tee as well (which is strange because there are multiple tee boxes set up on the course). Those would be enough to reject the course without even playing it but I gave it a go incase the designer wants some notes of things to work on:
Lots of sculpting issues throughout. Many severe slopes that look very unrealistic. Poorly sculpted bunkers. Trees too close to fairways or trees blocking tee shots

I submitted Golden Rock Resort for the tour and was just wondering, could I get some specific feedback on it from the reviewer? Thanks!

Just a quick follow up to my last question, what was the end result for my US Open Course at Briarcreek CC? I didn't get any notifications about anything but it disappeared from my designer list. Thanks!

Feedback on The Witcher? Thank you. Notes from the reviewer: "The Witcher - Not Approved Some Auto gen elements are very evident, like rocks planted everywhere, some issues with sculpting and planting. I do like the sky color."
