McBogga has generously permitted me to get my hands on Tobo Golfklubb - his beautiful RCR of the Swedish design. It's a great layout, and it's a pleasure to work on this one. With the exception of a bunker here and there, all the original features of the course are intact. Most of the changes are touch ups such as clearing some trees and scrub, growing some heavy rough, and reshaping some fairway contours. The course holds up particularily well as a fast and firm challenge, with small greens, tight doglegs and small fairways. Here's a few comparison pics - The original number 2, a short, sharp dogleg left up the hill. The original number 3, a par 3 with a shallow green, and a fall off on the rear right portion. The original number 4, another sharp dogleg with a large spruce tree at the corner. Number 5, a long, straightaway par 5 climbing the hill. Number 15, an uphill dogleg right with a tree in the fairway.

not to disrespect mcbogga in any way, but the skill level differences here is pretty high, the remake is looking really nice. well done.

You bastard - shut up and finish East Lake!
LOL - of course the skill level difference between me and one of the greatest designers in the game is astronomical! If I could do this myself I probably would. I think I have a pretty good eye on how to make a hole play well through set up, but designing from scratch I'm a total hack.
I do think this having someone else re-work a course is a great idea and really interresting. I've had the luxury to be able to dabble with a couple of set ups for the TST on great courses and it's great fun to do.
Also - Tobo is pretty rough IRL, no finger-bunkers or much beautification. Low maintenance design... This will be a study in what might happen if Tobo got a 5M$ makeover. Really looking forward to seeing the end result here.

Is pic 7 the dogleg right with the big tree in your line off the tee?
