Love the course layout, the plantings and the textures. Some really great shot-making required - at least with RTS. The tees are a little bright, but - my God! - the fairways are blindingly bright! :scared: There's got to be some way to tone down that brightness! Many thanks for your efforts though.

I knew this was gonna be a gem and a very easy course at the same time, so I went ahead and handpicked tough pins before my full round. Glad I did, because I was still on really good way of breaking my in-Links scoring record until I started playing poorly towards the end. I gotta say, its certainly very easy, and Im rarely able to enjoy very easy/short courses in Links, but this was one of the few exceptions. Its short and easy, but still somehow never boring (perhaps with the exception of a single hole or so), which in my opinion is a really fantastic quality, and this course has a lot of it. There is always something for almost every shot to make things interesting, particularly with tough pins. I bet it would be absolutely amazing to have this course as one's real life club course (at least for amateur golfers). Then again...maybe you'd end up thinking golf on other courses was terribly boring in comparison :tongue:

I already told you this before but I love the sense of location, with the panorama, planting and colours. Seems to be a bunch of nice 3D work too. I could see Pete's point about a blinding sensation about textures but I personally didnt feel that way when I played this time, most of all my feeling is that they suit the location really well (not that I know anything about Idaho). Thank you so much for giving me a chance to enjoy this absolute gem :smile: Great design work by both you and the real-life designer :thumbup: Will definitely play again.

Just in case anyone would like to try my custom pins... (even harder ones can be found on a bunch of holes)
11, 9, 13, 12, 0, 12, 17, 0, 17, 16, 4, 17, 15, 1, 12, 8, 17, 14

It's an interesting course. I looked this up on Google Earth, and what a strange layout! Two huge parcels of land in the middle of the course, looks like they'll be putting a lot of homes in there, if not already. And so flat! The elevation from one end to the other doesn't vary by more than 15 feet or so. At first I thought you just didn't bother with elevations, because there's plenty of non-flat terrain close by (and in Idaho generally), but that's just the way it is. I actually had an easier time on the back nine, but I've only played it once thus far.
