The final version of Crooked Stick is now available. Thank you Andy.

Crooked Stick is a private golf club and was designed by Alice and Pete Dye, in 1964. The course plays to 7516 yards from the back tees and has a par of 72.

The APCD rendition only incorporates the playing area and it's immediate panorama. I have fully utilised my draughtsman's license regarding the amount of detail that is included in all the structures.

Thank you, Mr. Wells. New courses are always much appreciated.

Thank you, Mr Fooooore!
I hope you enjoy playing the course.

So, does the real club house actually have a pot of flowers like that in that part of the building?
I'm exploring the design details in practice mode and just wondered about that.

Thank you for making this course, it is very nice and challenging.

That's quite a party going on in the outdoor area.
Like the attention to detail. I wonder how many folks who download this course go looking around in some of these areas?
I generally do not, but since you mentioned it...

Migolfer,
I don’t have the imagination.

The covered bridges are cool, you have those all over the place (as you know).
Plus, the culvert is neat too. Thx again, this is all very entertaining.

i love all the little details you put in on this course Ian.

I'm glad that you appreciate the details. It makes it worthwhile.

I like that web page too. About 35 of those photos will become wallpaper once I do a bit of cropping and get the right aspect ratio
