Matt that is really lovely! 

 

That skybox with the setting is great K11.  So ominous.          

 

DPRoberts,  I'll worry about videos much later haha.  I've got a lot of info to sift through for CF.  I must say after toying with it already for a bit it's really impressing me.  

Back to studying!

Take a couple of hours and watch all of Mike's videos if you can, and keep them handy. I still refer to them once in awhile.

Yeah that's my homework for the weekend.

Congratulations on being invited to the CF beta group bortimus! Instead of wasting all your time complaining about wanting it. You took the initiative of working with unity and posting what you've learned. Looking forward to seeing your first course.

Glad to have another designer on board

What do you guys think? Should I go ahead with this course as it is, or wait until I have the pot bunker utility? This is kind of my best attempt at it.

[Justin9926]

Looks good to me. You can always go back later to swap them out for the pot bunkers right? But then again, the new CF should be out very, very SOON.

The pot bunkers in Troon are THE defence for the course.  If you land in a fairway bunker it will cost you at least one stroke.  If you land in a greenside bunker near the face it will cost you at least a stroke.  If you can't swap it for a pot bunker as an update my opinion is to wait because pot bunkers will magnify the difficulty of any course.

Do we need to get arrested to play? Or

can we get on a visitors list?

Very Nice K11, should be a ton of institutionalized Fun.

[Kablammo11]

Nah, I just needed high walls to best block off the surrounding environment. I felt lazy about creating one. Also, sensory deprivation, a classic prison theme, should help players to focus on their putts. They will need to do that. And finally, the many straight horizontal and vertical lines of the walls, turrets, fence poles and buildings all should act as a visual help to see the slopes of the terrain and develop a spacial understanding of them.

So, you see, there is a method behind my design choices. Not much of a method, but still...

[Kablammo11]

In fact, certain residents of the correctional facility are known to have missed their parole board meetings intentionally, because they felt that they deserved their just punishment to its fullest extent and that the only way to protect society from them was to accept doing hard time out in the prison yard... redemption must never be granted lightly, but has to be earned through honest acts of penance.

Repent!

So nicely maintained considering the availability of so much cheap labor 😉

Yes Judge, give me a life sentence.

Or a light sentence by playing golf in the sunshine.

Wait for pot bunkers.

New CF will be here shortly/in time/in due course.

Don't want to say soon, as I'm sure I remember Andrew once posting saying CF would be out before Christmas. Maybe he meant Christmas 2017, lol.

Found it (from Oct 2015)

I think CF will be out well before Christmas!!!!

[M Rose]

Now I'm really jonesing for the custom flag and flagpole utility after seeing those nice red and black flagsticks.

[Stoney]

Only a year out

[M Rose]

What I think I might do is put out a beta to see how the course plays and find other issues, and maybe update the course at a later time. I hadn't planned on making this a high priority, but it came together so quickly (literally a couple of days) that I just got on a huge roll and couldn't stop.

 

Tentatively I've decided to call it "Old Scotch", and I've even come up with a back story of a Scottish golf club that is so exclusionary that they turned down the Open Championship because it would allow Englishmen on the property, lol.

 

(I suppose Brexit and Trump have both been on my mind a lot lately)

Matthew, I don´t know how CF works but perhaps you can make hills behind the bunkers? I noticed when watching the Senior Tour last week at Carnoustie there was often fronting hills as high as the depth of the bunkers. In JNPG it would force the player to at least have to use a shorter club or even the splash option.
