NeedHelpNaming CC beta released

[Crazycanuck1985]

Alright, I've got some constructive feedback for you. I won't talk about the first six holes as those are not done I can see.

The Good:
- The look: The boreal with pinestraw is a nice look, I can definitely see the Augusta similarities.
- The greens: Varied, with gentle slopes, nothing crazy...nice.
- Good hole design - Nothing wacky, just solid tee to green layouts.

Needs Work:
- The lighting: MY EYES! That midday sun with those bright white bunkers literally hurt my eyes. Consider lowering the light and playing with the shadows. You'd be surprised how much better you can make a course look with some nice lighting.
- Bunkers: way too many unnecessary ones (especially in the early holes) with very jagged edges and inconsistent sculpting. I would say these need the most work. They did get better overall as the course went on though.
- Planting: try to avoid planting the same tree bush that is the same size and the same rotation right next to each other. I saw quite a bit of this on the back nine with trees and flowers and it can be a bit distracting. Mix it up!
- Difficulty: Way too easy as is. Wide fairways, soft greens, and light rough instead of heavy rough everywhere. I would see a CC-E player having a fairly easy time with this one. I was able to throw darts at every single pin.
#7- not a huge fan of laying up with a 7-8 iron on my second shot on a par 5...at least give me a chance to get there in two, or at least close. Just my opinion here.
- Identity: This isn't a bad course at all...but to me it's just average. There is nothing that makes me want to play it again and I didn't really notice anything that made it stand out above the thousands of courses in the game. It's the little things that make a course go from average to great. Playing great courses and really paying attention to the small details will give you some ideas.

I know you are just starting out, and I think it's a very good effort from a new designer. It took me 10-15 horrific courses to finally figure out what I was doing. Much better than my first efforts. Right now, I would rate it a 6 out of 10. Still a ways off from tour consideration in my eyes, but in no way a bad course.

Hopefully some of these suggestions are helpful.

Thanks so much I can see I have a long way with this one unfortunately I honestly don't know how to make the greens and more difficult and not sure how to improve from here all I can do is try I'm honored you took the time to play

To make the greens more difficult, take the fuzzy circle or fuzzy long brush that are next to each other and use it as a raise tool. Use them around the greens with a few inches at a time and you'll see the greens start to have some breaks. Also use it for more inches and create tiers with the flat tools.

thanks that's what I attempted to do I should have left the greens firm like I had them and speeds like I had them

Got three holes left to finish and the official completed beta will be done hope to get some plays when it's done and any kind of name suggestions lol
