What an absolute cracker of a course! I usually do not like huge elevation changes, but here it did not bother me at all. Fabulous work, skunky!

Sorry to hear about your loss Skunky, this is a fitting tribute.

Played the course and you should be very proud of this, the environment is stunning and the background detail / planting is elite level!

As with any course I personally release, I always learn something new that I carry into the next course and my only critique here would be a couple of the fairway green transitions, which can be a bit complicated until you get the method nailed down.

Here's what I mean;

Here's one I saw on Pasatiempo





Whilst here is one completed using the method I'll link below;




On this particular one I got rid of the green fringe but you can still keep it if you like.

Here's the tutorial I did on this a little while back;


tgctours.proboards.com/thread/25533/fairway-green-transitions

On future LiDar courses you best bet is doing this in OSM and then setting fairway to 2.0 width with 4.0 secondary light rough, then set the green to 2.0 path width with secondary light rough at 4.0 width, if the spline points for the green and the fairway going round the green are in the same place, all you have to do is smooth both paths and voila! you'll have perfect transitions.

If at any point you'd like me to have a go at the transitions on Pasatiempo, just give me a shout and I'll ping you my email for the course file and I'm happy to do this and send it back to you.

Absolutely loved my round at Pasatiempo, we really needed this in the game so thank you again for all your hard work!

you have a good eye paddyjk19,theclv24 is going over the course and doing exactly what you suggested,it does look so much better.he is also redoing all the tee boxes with much better transitions.i should have the file back in a week or so and will go over the entire course again. i have found a few things i want to fix and also add for a final version.there are still a few suspect pin positions i need to look at and make sure they are fair.if anyone finds anything please let me know.there are a few visual things like floating trees and walls and bushes that need fixing.so all suggestions welcome.

There is a tree inside a yellow house.. close to the 9th green. It is such a minor thing that I didn't think to mention it, but if you are making a new version, may as well clean that up

ok after a couple more weeks on this , the final version is ready and will be released shortly.many thanks to the clv24,who did all the tee boxes and all the bunker work,and to another member jack,who shared many photos of the course ,hes been lucky enough to play it IRL over 8 times.really happy with the way it turned out.most people wont even notice a change,but i think the extra effort was worth it myself.

Love the updated version! really very good!
