Good start Sage. Hope you enjoy making bunkers!
A Linkster DEM I presume?
Checked out the real course and there's not a tree in sight.~

Hi Colin,
Yep no trees. Going to be a challenge to get the ground foliage looking correct. Not even any large bushes.
Yeah I love sand areas....LMAO...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT...!!!! But I enjoy the challenge making them look good.
Linkster DEM for sure. It's all I use since he perfected the ability to make them. I don't think I could go back. Thanks Linkster...!!!!

Darn, I thought we were getting an Irish course with a name like that
Really wish I had the time to do some non-US courses, but life is very busy despite only working 3 days a week now

If ever a course was just made for forest planting Sage!
I have a heap of brand new grasses that might fit Ballyneal nicely. Some of them are in sets (different versions of the same plant type) so they work really well when forest planted - can make them look very natural. If you want to check them out, PM me an email address and I'll get them to you. Same goes for you too Ian of course or any other designer.
The ones I think might be the best fit for Ballyneal will be in the "single grasses" folder and the set all commence with "1254.....".

Hi Sage,
The course looks great. Thanks for starting another Colorado course. Pretty soon the Rodeo Dunes resort will be opening up northeast of Denver with some new courses to temp you.
