How about a course or really cool Par 3 somewhere along the Grand Canyon?

Im thinking something along the lines of Cape Kidnappers (NZ) but on a 'Grander' scale.

I'm thinking I'd like to do some fantasy design myself, if that's okay. I just need the tools.

I've always thought the Grand Canyon had somewhat of a premiere setup for a golf course, especially a par 3 course. It will definitely be challenging and rewarding once we get our hands on the software.

I once saw a postcard of the Grand Canyon with a golf course built along it edge. I was naive enough to think it was real until my brother pointed out they would never alow such a thing lol. It looked so amazing

I used to have a couple of those calendars, with the ridiculous golf holes painted on to the side of mountains, cliffs, volcanoes, sinkholes, icebergs and other ridiculous places. I always liked how they'd draw a ladder or a bridge of dubious safety and there'd be a guy with a pull cart trying to negotiate it.

I would love to convert my version of Infamous Golf Course into Course Forge.

One day, when I learn a lot more (I'm still watching an APCD instruction video!) I hope to create a panorama of the ocean, just the ocean. I keep visioning a golf course in the middle of sea: fairway, rough, sea . I'll need a 3D image of a desaltination plant too, to make it look realistic :/

Sorry Mav, This may be showing my age, but that course has already been done in a golf sim. See below

Ooooh. I bet those waterfalls would look mighty fine in Perfect Golf after some tinkering with Course Forge, lol.

My thoughts exactly. I have always wanted to see this course "in motion".  I bought the game Infamous 18, which I guess was built of a Links engine, but it had moving water and 3d trees and bushes similar to the older TW games.  So hopefully, soon.  Would really like to import the elevations I have for Hazeltine and just start over and make that course right.

Haha. God that looks old. Is it PGA on the Amiga? I can see land there anyway, mine won'tbe anywhere near land lol

I believe what Wayne posted is a screenshot of Access Software's 'Leaderboard Golf' from the Commodore 64. The game that was the forerunner for the Links golf series.

Funny, I just been playing leaderboard on my Ipad, great fun

[WayneH]

Yep, Leaderboard it is.

 

I still remember playing this game and thinking I will never play another game in my life, hahahaha. How things change.

I think the first PC golf game I played was Mean18.  What I really enjoyed was how you could design your own courses and save them on 5 1/4" floppy. I think I still got a copy around somewhere.

Man can't even remember the name of my first golf game. It was back around 90-91 and came with 1 course, Firestone. I remember the square ball that rolled something like an octagon lol.

[Kablammo11]

My first golf game was MacGolf. The year was 1985.

Does anyone know where I could go to learn how to use Course Forge?

It's not released yet so there are no instructions anywhere. Mike J's demo video is as close at it gets.
