23.Trysting Tree GC .https://linkscorner.org/courses/course.php?crz=298 Very Scenic Course , Low bar on undulating , but has nice angles and rolling fairways compensated ..with Wooden planks and elevated greens make it ( barely on my list ).
24.Crooked Creek . https://linkscorner.org/courses/course.php?crz=2066 Ranked as (48/50) This is a course Subtle to look at , but with its angled Fairays .. combined with sloping greens that look controlable to play....youll find its an illusion . If the yardage isn't correct and angles arent figured in correctly on each shot you will feel . ( Good Suggestion )
25. St.Christophers Bay :https://linkscorner.org/courses/course.php?crz=1473
( Nice Course , thats mixed every other hole , From the 1st Fairway shot , as well as Holes 8 and 9 you get a box of chocolates depending on the ball placement . ( Good Suggestion )

Have you tried any of these courses?

Course Name - LC ID.

Deep Fern (Par 3) - 78

Lake Determination - 155

Sample 7 Course by Ron J demo (MS Links 2k1 APCD disk)

These are all quite a challenge and fit you requirements.

[umanfly2boot]

Thanks for the followup :

I had already posted these two courses for consideration :
ABC1 (2003)
Desert Sands
For me though Deep Fern (Par 3) - had no fairways to consider for contoured unpredictability in what i was looking for.

Lake Determination -https://mega.nz/file/mXxDAKwS#MAOgungtq ... FxjFSsorWg
After reviewing it again , i found it has it ( could be / might / maybe ) a candidate for what i was looking for , though many of the fairways are flat , and most of the Rolling contours were around the greens with ever so slight elevations .
Its enough to make it interesting with difficult pins to play .
And not withstanding the 16th tee shot .........Well , ill stop there. You'll see it when you get there .
....................................................
Thanks , and keep those suggestions coming . !

[umanfly2boot]

Ok .... Here's One i had not seen , until i noticed it in the Clip Notes :

Clip Notes : http://linkscoursefiles.co.uk/misc/Clip_Notes_3.02.zip

And Qualifies in what i am looking for .

Manitou Island : https://linkscorner.org/courses/course.php?crz=1429 ( Listed Above )

My Notes on this Course would say :

Playability
Hitting the fairways is a challenge at times , you just have to do the math on each fairways distance , to nail it correctly . Because of the blind shots, it’s likely that this course’s has its appeal in using your ( Top cam ) and ( Profile cam ) ....same as asking your caddie in real life .
7/10

Challenge
The greens are Smooth and contoured with curvy distinctions , Hugely sloped, and when used with Most Difficult ( Custom Pin locations ) it makes for a really challenging game.
As such, a Challenge is what i want in a Rolling Contoured Course , and this flips the Bill ( 7/10 )

Technical
There are some good aspirations , and layouts with texture assignments.The Color Visuals are Good and the Scenery is a nice change with the Fall Season featured . 7 /10 .

This is what i am talking about in this discussion . I am looking for ( extreme contours ) for unpredictability of ball bounces upon landings in the fairway. Not flat fairways for the most part like Black water Pines . But ( Undulating ) !!! left to right angles like Hillwood ....The Best i've seen so far .

Updated Point ! ( 7/1/2020 )
Of All of the Most recent additional ( 50 ) New Courses added to Links Corner .
I found most to be cookie cutter courses of previous ideas already done .
And i actually kept a hand full 5 ..... possibly 5 .
Because they Overall they look the same , play the same , and im really bored with these same ideas .
Especially.....when it comes to diversity in ball play .
They are :
1. Flat and true
2. Scenic and Landscapes are Great to look at , but not incorporated to affect the play of the ball .
Example : Kawalana Bay Club - Probably the closet thing to diverse from Sage Savanni as you will get , as all his courses play and look the same to me.
Holes 7 -8 - 11 - 13 have so much potential to being diverse , with water coming into play , possible rock hazard infusion , tree placing, and of course rolling Greens and Fairways . But no .... its not there .... till ( DING ) He added some on 18 . Great ......
But what happened to his imagination .
Put in water hazards , More Bunkers , make us hit the ball into tree lines incapacitated by bunkers , into the whole course
Then it might be playable .
That is what i want . :

What about Abe's Creek, does this fit the bill?
