W.I.P. - Highlands Theme

[pablo]

Hi all, I have done a few holes on my new course. It will be called Muniellos Country Club (at least, that's the name right now). I'm using the highland theme in a fictional course set in "Bosque de Muniellos", one of the largest forest in the spanish region of Asturias, where my family comes from.

It's a par 72, over 7200 yards in length, featuring some links element, but not a links course, I think it will make you think from the tee, giving several options in almost every hole, depending on the wind. The greens are set to medium firm and about 75% in speed, and yes, there are red lines. They are not done yet ;-)

Here is the first fairway, which as you can see is quite wide, but has a lot of bumps




The second hole is a long par 3:





The 4th is a not-so-long downhill par 4, with an interesting green. Here you see the hole from the back:




One of my favourite parts so far in the course. The 5th green and the sixth, another par 4 where you must decide, you can be safe from the water, but leave a semiblind, long shot to a raised green, or go for the drive seeking a short iron from the best angle to the green... you decide ;-)




I look forward to reading your comments, and will keep you up to date with my progressions

Hello Folks... How you doing?

I bring you some updates in my current project. 14 holes completed (except further details in planting and so on, you know)...

We have long par 5, like 13th:




Reachable par 4's with several options from the tee, like number 11:




Quite "link-ish" par 3, like 7th:



Some interesting variety of holes I think, but i listen to your comments.

Updating the info on the course, all 18 holes have been laid in the terrain. Now improving details in the greens and planting, so the launch is near. The course takes a lot of advantage of the advice by canuck and the rest of the crew in the video review of bellavista, muy previous release, so expect some inprovements. Specially if TGC stops crashing in my ps4. I'll keep you updated on the evolution

Looks nice. A few fairways look really tight. Don't forget the Highlands winds can whip up pretty strong

Thanks for your words coruler. Right now I'm playtesting those type of things prior to publishing the course
