That picture of 11th green.....
I don't know if the retaining wall is the finished product but it would look so much nicer (in my humble opinion) if you curved the end off nicely using the smaller sections rather than having it flat like it is in the pic. I know it takes longer and can be a pita matching the sections up properly but it is worth it for the end result (again only my opinion).

All opinions are welcome, and I think your way can work better. I'll try it, and thanks for commenting Edit: Han, you meant something like this:  |

Sorry Pablo I didn't explain myself very well. I meant around the "other" end  Follow a similar line to your red stakes perhaps ? ![]()  |

A bit of an update about this course. At least the course has a name. By now it's called "Barnacle Golf" and will feature two courses. The Palms course, which is the one I'm working on right now. Par 72, around 7300 yards. 16 holes completed, the 17th is advancing at good pace. The second course is only laid out, and it will play shorter (and also easier) as it is intended to be a member's course. Why Barnacle Golf? First of all, in this time the barnacles are a very appreciated product here in Spain (and by me, btw), and as they grow in the coast, in cliffs, and this course features some cliffs, it's kind of a tribute. Once the courses are ready to publish I'll put that in a context. The 14th tee looks something like this:  The 15th will be a short - uphill par 3, leading to the 16th, where we head again towards the coast:  And the 17th hole is a medium length par five, that runs by the coast:  |

Hi all!!!
I just released a beta version of the first 18 holes, so grab your clubs and take a round, and for sure, if you find anything to be improved, feel free to let me know.
Thanks in advance peoplo. The course is named Barnacle Golf V.1

I've got a couple of updates for you guys. Already started the work on the second course that the resort will feature. The championship course (the one I've been showing you in this theme) will be published in four pins setup right from the first moment. For those of you who play the beta (Barnacle Golf V.1 - if you want to try it) now it is maximum in speed and firmness. The final product will have various setups, and the pins will vary from the ones you see in the beta, which are basicly a demo of the maximum difficulty these greens can hold, but in no way they must be the final positions.
Thanks to the feedback I've started to collect in the last few days, I'm tweaking some aspects of the course. But hey, don't hesitate and make me any suggestion you may have

A little bit of an update about the second course of the club. It's advancing, slowly (damm those crashes of the GNCD) but advancing. The second course will be much shorter (around 6700 yards) and will play significantly softer and slower. It's a much more relaxing golf round I have a few pics for you all:    The course still needs lots of work in planting, and the back nine are just placed over the terrain, so still work left to do As usually, I hope you like the pics |

Follow a similar line to your red stakes perhaps ?
