Course Design

[John_Elway]

It looks like people are really designing some great courses in PGA Tour 2K23. Are there any good guides or tutorials on course design? Thank you.

CrazyCanuck1985 is a community member who has done a lot of tutorials on designing in the past. He has started a 2K23 design tutorial series, too. Here's Episode 1...I think there are currently 4 episodes available:

Just be aware that the designer in 2K23 is a bit of a mess right now...lots of crashing and bugs in it.

Therefore, many of the courses you're seeing in 2K23 are actually courses ported from PGA 2K21.

As stated by MAB, CrazyCanuck has the best tutorials available for the course designer. I used his 2021 tutorial series and it greatly improved my understanding of the designer. Not much has changed, so you should be able to use that one if you don't want to wait for him to finish the 2023 one

The designer b101 has some great 2K23 specific videos out now, too:

Some interesting looks at hole concepts, how to build greens, etc.
