With the Olympic and HB contests closing at the same time as this came out even amazing courses, like this one undoubtedly is, are going to get overlooked a little. I've not gotten around to playing yet, but having played you others and looking at those pics, that is insanely low and I can't wait to play. It's on my list for sure, hope it gets the plays that the course deserves... keep nudging it along and I'm sure it'll take

It is a shame. I felt the firm version played really well. I think I found 1 pin on a slope I didn't like and 1 or 2 holes where you were better off playing for a chip rather than the green, but that is really really minor stuff! Really enjoyed playing it. Teeing up on the medium versions today or tomorrow!
Loved the firm version so looking forward to playing the others.

I appreciate the comments, guys. I'll see how it goes over the coming weeks. As anyone who takes the course design/building process seriously knows, when you spend considerable hours and then it sort of lands with a "thud" it takes the wind out of your sails a bit.

I LOVED it, Smoke. If you ever find the time to make a CC suitable refurbish it would be awesome.
Ignore the player ratings. It plays GREAT. Some people have the mindset that if they can't go -9 on first look then they rate it low. It's a shame really. Fantastic round of golf.

This is one of my favorite courses honestly I'd like to see this hold a cc major and see what the scoring would be I know the feeling of your new course seeming to thud mine has less than 10 plays after 6 weeks of work but oh well I'm focused on top secret v2 course lol anyway this isn't dud man one of the finest courses in the game for me

I personally love the way it plays, but probably a little tough for CC, even as a major.

If I can score on this course as sucky as I play it should be no problem for anyone I'm about the equivalent of Ray Charles on the greens

Btw. If you are worried about ratings I'll just let you know it has a 8.4 on ps4.

Yes, if you're not below the hole it can be brutal. Honestly, I don't recall that pin being so close to the slope in my pre-published version and I play-tested the course extensively. That said, if you can stay below the hole you have a pretty straight up hill putt.

Saturday pins/tees now online. This is really setup for scoring. Shorter overall course and more accessible pins. Sunday setup will be a different story.
