So many courses...so much time?
Posted: April 7th, 2020, 11:21 pm
I apologize for the long post and the wishful thinking herein.
There are easily 40 plus courses in my APCD folder. I'm a Canuck who's been tinkering in the Course Designer for almost 20 years. Only really released 3 things though. A beta of Oak Hill, which was a full design from scratch by me. I modified Bill Bunning's Royal Lytham with some changes and a more tournament feel. A beta of Royal Liverpool, that I've worked on heavily lately. Well, got a bunch of time on my hands and figure I'm going to try to release a few more things of the 40 lying on my hard drive.
I've been in the designer lots the last few months so here's some stuff I hope to get out because they're SO close: Royal Liverpool, Hamilton CC, Abu Dhabi GC, Atlanta Athletic Club and Durban CC. These three are probably release-able right now as Betas. I'd like to finish some things like the hole previews, add some crowds, test some pins and release them as finished products. Atlanta might need a 3d clubhouse first though.
The next few that are in good shape but still need work are St-George's (not the Royal one, needs some shaping and planting but a 3d clubhouse is roughed in), Cabot Links (NS Canada), Sheshan GC, Royal Portrush and Muirfield (the Scottish one). Then I've got a bunch of ones that are updates of other people's work: a more tournamen-tish TPC Scottsdale with stadium 16th hole (3 decks of fans), Southern Hills with its redesign, a Turnberry with its redesign, Medinah Ryder Cup version, Bellerive. Then there's a ton of other stuff in various states of construction. It may be meshed and elevated or just meshed in: Cabot Cliffs, Royal Aberdeen, New South Wales, Pinehurst 4 (new one), Chambers Bay. It's a little bit like looking at your garage for a spring cleaning!! I'll try to post some screenshots during the next week or so for some of these. And someone tell Jimbo that I AM getting back to APCD work, since I can't go to real work!
