Nice...I'm really looking forward to playing this one. I had planned at one point to build this one myself. I have yardage books and everything saved for it. But I never found the time to work on it and it was never likely to be so I'm super happy that someone has made it.

Played your course just now. Congrats on a fine job. Played c/stick on a Tiger Woods game some time ago this version is ten times better.WELL DONE

Just finished playing this course and man,I loved it.Those greens are gig and slick with some subtle breaks but very fair.I had problems trying to stop the ball on my aprouch shots due to the firmness but that's because I'm not used to firm greens.Added this to my favourites oh and the openess of the course was a welcome change.There are also so lovely touches with the subtle planting and nice fence work which make it look more realistic which I like.In all my scoring wasn't all that good but absolutely loved playing it.It got a big 10/10 from me. Nice 1 bud

And Dean does it again. Another course by him, and another course really worth the play.
Nice job, and thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully it'll get higher than the 6.8 it is currently averaging in the game.

6.8?! I really wonder what people want in a golf course? I'm not saying all courses are 10, but I see some of the really great designers getting like 7. I'm a huge fan of Canuck's courses and they barely get like a 7??!! REALLY, now Drlowdon makes a wonderful course that is great to look at and a joy to play, and it's getting a 6.8? I hope people aren't shooting high scores and deciding the course isn't good. How many people rating these courses with a high 6 low 7 even design? Seriously though...what does a course have to do to get a 9 or so? I've been playing since day 1 and the courses that are coming out now are truly amazing. With a new update hopefully coming soon, they're going to get even better. I just think the designers who put dedicate their time and provide us with these wonderful creations should number 1 be thanked, number 2 be told they did a great job. Too many times I only see a few of us commenting on the course. If you play a course, you should be able to tell right away the talent level of the designer, and the time it must have taken them to build such a wonderful course. When it comes time to rate the courses, think about it and compare it to other courses...is it just another course? is the planting really well done and realistic? did they really tweak the lighting and make it look nice and realistic? I don't see how anyone can play this course and not rate it a 9 or higher. That goes for Canuck's courses, arctic fury courses, dr yeti courses, just to name a few. There are lots more great designers out there, I'm not naming all of you . Anyway guys and gals, let's show these designers we appreciate what they do, so they continue to build these amazing courses!

I knew as soon as I decided to use firm greens that the course would be marked lower but, having tested the course plenty of times, firm greens was the only way to make the course challenging enough that it didn't just become a birdiefest. There have been a fair few high scores shot on the course so far but the majority of people seem to be shooting a couple of shots under par, and that's what I was aiming for really. Even with the firm settings the course record is already 59 on the PS4 so it is possible for the top players to still go really low.

Bassman! Agree with what you said .... Ratings mean absolutely nothing to me upon deciding to play a course... I noticed the 6.8 as well, and didn't think twice about it...
This course ( I know is a RCR) but it just felt right to me... Felt like you were "there" while playing it... Smooth as silk and wonderfully constructed... I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was a great creation... And I know all these designers really thank you guys that review a lot of the courses... I know there are thousands upon thousands out there, but when these designers spends hours or months building these courses and we all stand by and say nothing about it, it has to be disheartening!....
So bassman, Pablo, Hmammoth, and all those that are constants on reviewing course, we all thank you..... Its nice to get feedback both good and bad.....
With all that said, great work drlowdon!

Thanks Terry, glad you enjoyed the course. All the feedback from the TGCTours community about the course has been positive and that's who the course was created for so the in-game rating really doesn't matter at the end of the day.

I played this yesterday unlike my promise of the day before because I was really drunk that day I remember crooked stick on TW14 but my god this was so much better and I would also like to add I hate FF but this was really well done so in short a job really well done I gave it a 10 and favourited it

Had a good round here - the bunkers were really neat with the thin collar of light rough around them and the fairways meeting the water looked smooth as you like. I also enjoyed the greens even though I kept stopping 1-inch from the hole - the contouring here was really well implemented I thought.

Thanks numbers, always nice to hear from someone that has enjoyed one of my courses. I should have a version with different pins published soon(ish).
