I'd agree if these weren't the 3 shortest par 4's on the course - the longest of these is 371. To me, those short areas should be the hardest to hit if the player wants to hit a 220 yard shot off of the tee. I think there are plenty of options offered to the player that will land them in the fairway and leave no more than a short iron. Oh well. Okay - last plea. It’s got 8 likes on TGC Course page already so it’s not just my subjective opinion that it’s a worthy course Sorry, but we don't re-review - there are something like 10 submissions a day and with 2K around the corner, that's likely to spike even more. Honestly, and I mean this as nicely as possible, the likes on the main page, star rating in-game and number of plays mean absolutely nothing. We've seen outstanding courses with under 100 plays and godawful ones with 300,000 odd (looking at you, RMD). I also firmly believe the feedback on this course is good and something to take on board into your next design. Reviewing is the first stage in determining whether courses go on Tour or not - this is just too tight to be in that discussion. As I think the reviewer said, there's lots of good here, but I'm in agreement with his take. Even major courses (play Conservatory West, Susquehannock, The Mantis, Quincy Downs, O Say or many others) that are designed to be the toughest test offer far more room off the tee or into greens than you'll see in those pictures. Yes, that might just be a couple of examples, but the landing zones are just too small.

If a course once is accepted by you, is there any chance to delete it? E.g. when I want to chance something or give the course a new name ...

Not usually - again, creating more work where it's not needed.

It’s a shame that a couple minor things prevented this one from getting through because I think it’s a solid course, but I’ll be sure to not make the same mistakes on my next one.

Saint Augustine CC - not approved Missing the basic polish we'd need from an approved course. Lots of sculpting and surfacing issues, some burnt edges and autogen srufaces left.

Clear Lakes Country Club - not approved Out of the couple holes I played, I liked some of the ideas, but there's all of the usual execution problems, sculpting and surfacing issues everywhere, and enough oddities to start presenting playability issues.

Hockley Woods - not approved Course quality was fine (the excessive planting did cause some stuttering, though, just as a heads up). But, it's a 9 hole par 3 course, so it's not eligible for the tour database.

Whoevasmelta Delta - not approved.
Started off really nicely and lots of really nice planting spots and ideas, but a couple of things kill this:
- lots of blindness from the tees (each of holes one, two and three) - planting is giant - this can be fine if it's where you can't really see up close, but needs to be done really carefully (partly what causes the blindness) - Quite a lot of unplayable areas on certain greens - hole three for example.
I think this looks like a designer still learning the ropes a little and I'm sure we'll see Approved and Tour Worthy stuff from you soon - clearly a lot of effort went into this, so I hope the pointers help!

Curious about my "Long Lake GC" reasons for rejection. Not offended or disagreeing, but guess I oughta learn why before my next submission, right ? I already got a lesson in why it would be hard to maintain IRL on another thread, LOL. No hurries, but thanks.

Forgotten Peaks GC - not approved
Quite a lot of nice planting, but the surfaces are too severe (too small to be a fair test) and there's a lot of unintended blindness (e.g. tee shots on 1 and 3)
