I have uploaded the beta version of this course and asked Andy to add to the course database. Andy, thank you.
I am hoping that you will kindly play the course and inform me of all it's faults. This upload has only been tested by me, so I expect there will be more comments than I normally receive. I welcome all comments and I am open to all opinions, but I reserve the right to ignore the opinions.
Thank you for your help.

Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club was designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 2007 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States of America. The course is a private course with a par of 72 with the black tees stretching 7198 yards.
The course has been ranked in Americas 100 greatest golf courses since 2013 with the highest ranking of 27th in 2013-2014. Currently the course is ranked 37th, (2023-2024).
This rendition is identical to the real course for tees I,II,III and IV. I have taken the liberty of relocating tee V (Ladies tee) in an attempt to make the Gozzer Ranch more of a challenge in APCD. (My apologies to Mr Fazio.)
These are the yardages of the new tee V:
447, 569, 200, 296, 476, 448, 230, 618, 458, 570, 485, 350, 487, 174, 457, 490, 217, 491, Total 7463
After adding the extra tees, I feel that playing the back tees without the use of my driver is a more enjoyable experience than using the new tee V.
No matter which tees you use, or combination thereof, I hope you find playing this APCD rendition of the course enjoyable.
