Hi everyone,
Here is a course I just finished up that has been on my hard drive for some time.
Lemme know what you all think and any issues you may find.

The course has a nice look to it, I'd play it (i.e., okay to upload)
Random thoughts after a quick gander at it:
* Cannot see the green on #6 from the back tee. True, I use the Top Cam so it's not that big of a deal, but maybe you can lower the ground between tee/green so at least the flag can be seen?
* Most of the tee markers on the back tees are right on the front edge of the teeing area. That seems a little odd.
* The Top Cam view of the through-the-green areas is just a blank tan color. Can you make the overhead view for that texture suggest there's plantings all over it? Or have plantings with a top view? (Not a huge deal.)
* Check the green slopes, I didn't look at all the pin positions, but some of them might be too tough for the faster green speeds.
* Nice to see a fictional golf course upload. I really like or prefer real courses, but these are fun too.

Why so much fencing? I'd like it better without them. Just MO, though.

The fence keeps the unwanted creatures out.....................
I'll see about toning it down a bit.

Hi Sage I noticed only one set of pins and they are on zero so it could really do with a few more sets. Also if possible the bushes and trees do not show up on the top cam can that be altered. I personally like the fencing. Apart from that it looks to be a great course to play. Here at the Tigercats Golf Club we play a tour called Risk & Reward where we have to hit the trees and the rough to gain extra points when we putt out that is the reason we like the trees showing and we use quite a lot of your courses on our tours.

The Seamblend between Fairway and the normal Rough seems to have its seamblend texture properties in reverse order (the fairway-looking side of the seamblend plays like rough, and vice versa)
The seamblends between Green and Fairway on holes 12 and 17 are visibly broken in some places and could use re-assigning.
IMO, the bunker-inside-the-green on hole 11 and the left-greenside bunker on hole 12 have elevations that dont strike me as altogether natural, I feel like they could be made to look more realistic with just a little extra elevation fine-tuning attention.
Also, I think the course could be made a lot more enjoyable with more attention to pin placements, especially on holes 16 and 18.
Seems like a pleasant course, I enjoy the landscape. Im guessing it is a fictional course - I see the american flag by the clubhouse but Im curious if anyone involved had any state(s) in mind for the fictional location? [Edit: nevermind I figured it out by googling Makawee]

Thanks Adelade, I'll check out all those issues mentioned and make the appropriate changes.
I'm working on fine tuning some stuff on The Long Bay Golf Club.
