Sent 2 emails and the phone just goes to answerphone,no idea how to get in touch with Stroke Saver Dang. Appreciate the effort. It's been very helpful for the first two holes, really wish I could see the rest.

Here is some progress on 2 and 17. I'm finding elevating this course to be much more labor intensive than previous courses. Can't quite put my finger on why, though. 2nd Tee with Himalayas 2nd Tee Blind shot The wild 2nd-16th green complex, which rises out of nowhere from a mostly flat-ish 2nd fairway 17th back tee Some added planting to the hotel area A little 17th fairway undulation Probably my best attempt at the Road Hole bunker View from behind the green

Looks good Craig, are you planning on setting up the road hole from the old 455 tee or the new 495 tee across the road?

Looks good Craig, are you planning on setting up the road hole from the old 455 tee or the new 495 tee across the road? Both? I usually move the tee for at least one round out of the 4. Probably for the Thursday 2015 Open pin, which is in the back just over the road hole bunker. That's like a 225 yard shot in with no chance of getting close from the back tee. Haven't analyzed all the pins yet, though, so we'll see, but definitely at least one day will have the tee moved up.

Not the best destination for golf, unless you go to mallorca, but for relax, beach and good weather should be just as good as Malaga, and 'bout salou Hoot... Not my favourite taste Edit Sorry CLV, the pics look gorgeous man, amazing job

After playing Royal Ethalwind I decided to try a little taller grass planting to get more coverage, but without going too big. Here is the 3rd tee. 3rd and 15th double green Unfortunately the best I could do on the Cartgate bunker. It's just too close to the green to experiment with ways to make it deeper or more pot bunker like without screwing up the green slopes. Heading back in, the 16th tee. A little more work around the range area. Just needs a little more planting. Principal's Nose 16th and 2nd double green Looking back down the 16th and 3rd. I've seen this real life picture before and always enjoyed it. One thing I've decided to do that may be controversial, maybe not, is to make areas that have large clusters of gorse play as OB. Any balls hit into those areas in real life are almost always unplayable, so this is just to mimic the unplayable nature of those areas. Shouldn't likely be an issue at all in TGC1, but I can reevaluate if it becomes too penal in TGC2 or for Pro Tee folks. Here is an example of an overhead from the second hole.
