Hey, Sage......
I downloaded the beta and played all 18. Not really doing a "beta" test for technical issues or anything. More or less just a quick "visual" run-through so to speak. One glaring spot seemed to be the mound next to the tee on hole 15. It's totally smooth, with a few rocks that seem to be "hanging" off of it. It's just not in sync with the other landscaping work. Perhaps you could make it look more like the cliffs on holes 12, 13. More "etched" markings, etc. to add more realism. It's so close to the golfer that it is very prominent in the view.
And, I actually checked out photos of the actual course to compare with your version ( mainly to verify how unbelievably "orange" hued those bunkers are ! ), but even though the Pano looks nice....it seems like it's lacking in some low cliffs and mountainous views off in the distance to fill things out a bit. ( sorry Danny, just constructive criticism....trust me ) Otherwise, I really like those other new mountain designs on your pano.
This course sure has some very "bold" contrasts IRL, and is pretty unique over all.

Hi Ron. I captured the surrounding terrain exactly as it showed on Google Earth. I never add or take away background scenery on the horizon. I leave it as-is...

The pano had to be modified by me to get the correct look when playing 12, 13, 14 and 15 from all tee and green angles.
Danny D. did a stupendous job on the pano in it's original form. I couldn't have ask for more. Thanks you as always Danny....

If there is one thing ................ummmmmmmm.......I can't remember.
With certain skies, one part of the pano looks odd from for example 13th tee (pale blue sky regardless of which sky file is being used) - can that part not be made transparent on the panorama instead?

Other than raising the pano I don't see a way out of this one..................The sky in the pano is transparent. It has to be a sky thing. That part of the course is 200 feet below the course.

I see. The panorama does seem to be too low to me, considering there is no far horizon beyond the aim marker in below picture, despite the aim marker being below the level of the tee/player/camera.
