What do you typically look for in a new golf course mebby?

I typically enjoy playing real life recreations more than anything else. Second place would be courses that, although fictional, look like something you might see in real life.

K11's designs have more of a fantasy element to them but they are fantastic. It's opened up my mind to being more receptive to playing different types of courses.

I'm a Finance guy by trade so the right side of my brain is much less active than the left!

Well I got one tiki lit, sorta, and started building

a couple of small fountains to class up the place.

Oh, what a bad timing. Couldn't be worse!  One would have to be afflicted with a sick, anticyclical mind to post about a future course now, now of all weekends, when the latest update has flushed so many great new courses into the public at large.

Tip of the hat to all creators - impressive and enjoyable work, everybody!

 

But sick mind, that's sounds a lot like me.

 

So, Five Sisters. I have spent 3 days struggling with the snow-to-rock transitions on my alpine backdrop. It looked too mushy, too round, too random, too sharp, too fake until now. In the end, I've settled for bringing the world of snow a little bit further down the mountain sides and having some sort of stripey transition where the snow melts away.

 

 

I can live with that...

 

Also, since this is such a bad time, why don't I finally tell you about the Legend of the Five Sisters, hm?

Every golf course deserves a historic seed, a back story. Even fictional ones do.

Exciting, Heart Wrenching, and Glorious.

5 Stars for Five Sisters, coming soon to

a screen near you.

Excellent K11, thanks

What  beautiful and intoxicating  Mountain scenery and an emotional and gripping fairy tale to go with it 

 

I nearly weeped but glad it had a happy and inspirational end 

 

Looking forward to this course, mountains, waterfalls, sounds,  its  alive

 

Thanks K11

Kinda like the old Firestone tower in Ohio,

Millstone will have one to. It can be seen

from most every part of the course.

EDIT 

[mcthommo]

Would love to test out your latest gem K11 but looks like registration has been disabled at OGT

Looks like I'll just have to wait a bit longer

[zmax - sim]

Register is done on our main site and not the forum.  See my signature.

[olazaboll]

I dont know if testing is open for anybody ...but I get this notice clicking on K11´s link above ... I am registred at OGT ...username: olazaboll

You are not authorised to read this forum.

[Kablammo11]

You need to apply as a designer or tester, olazaboll. Testing is open to everybody who

1. registers with OGT
2. applies for access to the designer/testers lounge

Best just send zmax a PM saying you want it, either over here or over there.

 

Sorry about the hoops to jump through and all the bureaucracy. Not my thing either, but it is what it is... and it is open to really everybody at OGT... after certain formalities have been dispensed with. I don't make the rules around here.

[Kablammo11]

Official announcement, see below.

 

Textrures are all wrong, btw, I'm using defaults to draw the meshes.

 

[NoPutt]

That's quite an impressive signature list you've 

got going there. You are certainly gaining momentum.

It takes me 2 hours to watch 60 Minutes.

Sound like my kind of Golfing Experience, (easy).

Mumu (yep, short for Mully Muny), was a spur of the moment. It suddenly felt right and needed to come to life. I'm not the source, just the shaman. Thanks for asking, btw (indrectly),

 

With so many great and wonderful golf courses out or in the works, I felt that what might be missing from this game was a modest and gentle golf course. The sort of unspectacular local course where nothing is fancy and where the locals gather during summer evenings for a relaxed round and where laughter can be heard from the next fairway. And where mulligans (hence the name) are being offered generously, without the concerned player needing to ask for them. Oh, some of my greatest moments in life happened on these low-key, remote golf courses that serious players can only sneer at with elitist contempt. 

No pressure! No pressure on the golfers to bring their A-Game or to fail horribly. And no pressure on the golf course to dazzle, to stand out, to compete to be memorable. Just a plain, dumb little golf course. A guilty pleasure for golfers who want to play a fun little round, do not care for life-or-death golfing adventures or establishing new bests, and who enjoy picking up a few birdies on the cheap without having to work too hard for them.

 

Not sure about the environment. I'm tempted to introduce "Mulligan Broiled Poultry", a huge chicken farm with nasty rows of long death factories for fowlkind, that massively encroaches onto the estate. Either that or just some surfaces, pits and flats that are covered by lazily bubbling mud.

The radio relay tower in the image above once was the tallest in the mid west, a long time ago, for exactly 3 hours, until another one in Arkansas beat it. But: No pressure! The townsfolk of Mulligan Town love their tower, even now that it is defunct. It serves as landmark, of course, that will be visible from everywhere. Also, it's the highest point of the entire Boondocks County. The club house will be a small bungalow that doubles as a diner, triples as a bar and calls itself something like "Mulligan Radio Shack".

Mulligan Municipal - ya gotta love the name especially when compared to the Description - Oh its a town too
