Some images of the ocean holes. Still more work to be done on the ocean and the rocky areas with plenty of rock planting left. I think most designers would agree that getting large rocky areas to look natural can be one of the toughest challenges in the APCD. So there's been some frustrations and alot of trial and error but I am confident I will get the final look I want.

The CRZ is about to wing its way to PM (Pin Maestro) Pete, who will certainly be tested by some of the steep greens at NSW.

NSW Golf Club sits near the entrance to Botany Bay, only a 15 minute drive (traffic willing!) from the Sydney CBD. But is sits within a protected national park in La Perouse and is a place of great cultural significance for the local Aboriginal community. Botany Bay is the place where Captain Cook landed in 1770 and is now the port of Sydney. It will be my second and almost certainly final Australian course and so I am excited to release it soon. Not a gum tree in sight but is just seems very Australian to me....

Oh...right click, Open in New Tab, will give the best result. Loving the new wrapper too!!!

You are going well there Colin.

From a player's perspective I can agree I have sone some fairly average looking rock faces, they often do not look quite right, yet I have seen the occasional rock face that looks terribly realistic.

FWIW I just played Sage's, Redland Mesa and it has some good looking rock textures.
