Is anyone elses PS4 crashing whilst creating courses? I lost about 5 hours work last night because I didn't save from the beginning, started again tonight, saving periodically, and its crashed again, this time losing a hole or two. Something I'm doing!?

Sadly, no. Known issue that is very annoying. Save often, and turn your tree and plant sliders to zero until the end.

Make it a habit to save every 15-30 minutes.

By crashed what do you mean? Blue screen of doom or complete freeze and you have to force quit the game? If it's the former, I'm not sure there is a known cause for the issue and, for sure, saving more often than you think you should is definitely the way to go. I've had that happen occasionally in my latest design and it's a pain. Saving often at least mitigates the issue.
As far as the freezes go, I've come across two theories as to what causes this: 1) excessive use of the multi-plant tool and 2) excessive use of cart paths. For me, personally, I've found it to be the multi-plant more than the cart paths. Had both in abundance on Laurel Run and, getting to the end it was just like Griff said. I'd be lucky to make 3-4 changes without hitting a freeze, even with setting time of day to high noon and dialing auto-gen items all to zero so there was less for the game to draw. I haven't touched the multi-plant tool since. I've also figured out how to get away with using fewer waypoints when drawing my paths. I haven't had an issue with freezing since.
Hope that helps!

Blue screen of doom meaning error that sends you back to PS start menu and asks you if you want to report.
Possibly due to a lot of trees and cart path by looks of it.
Fortunately, I've summoned the patience to try again, and the 2nd attempt is a far better course.

For me: use of multi-plant tool is cause for crashes.
Excessive use of way points on cart paths cause lag in the gncd. Lag is not an issue once published

However, there's constructive feedback, and then theres taking the piss. Comments like that stop others from bothering to put courses forward.

ok you need to work on sculpting and stay away from the auto gen rough and heavy rough its very noticeable and stay away from auto gen bunkers construct your own its ok to auto gen a layout if you dont know how to do your own but everything you should do yourself fairway greens bunkers make them your own, sorry when you said you took four days i thought you were serious if your on ps4 i can share with you and show you a few things others have been kind enough to show me thats made me a much better designer, go ahead and add me i have no probelm showing you some things
