2k Augusta Created Courses?

[slthree]

It's that time of year and I've searched "the masters" and "Augusta" but I get zero results.

Are there any created Augusta courses?

They've pretty much scrubbed any courses that use any of the real-life terms related to the event.

My personal favorite that's still in the game can be found if you search "Nolia".

Thank you. I'll take a look asap

Thank you, Sir. Thank you so much! I'm currently playing with my friend, who has actually played Augusta in real life and he says this is extremely accurate.

Double Edit: I'll never play this course again. It's soooooo difficult. Nothing stays on the green. and the entire time that I'm complaining how hard it is, my buddy says it's exactly how it is in real life.

Beach beat me to it. He recommended it to me earlier but I had to wait to get home and turn the game on to see the name of it. It's a good one.

Yeah, he swears by it. We definitely got numerous good laughs and an equal amount of expletives during our "round from hell".

It's his first time on 2K Golf and he can't believe how realistic it is.

I hadn't heard of this version of Augusta, but I'll have to try it out. My favorite version is called "April's Major". It does a great job of creating the tournament atmosphere, while delivering what appears to be a very faithful rendition of the course.

The Society I manage is playing our 72 hole tournament this week at April's Major, but I limited the green speeds to nothing higher than fast and the firmness no more than medium. It gets frustratingly and artificially difficult above those limits. I set Saturday's round for rain, and turned the firmness down to soft and the green speed to medium to go along with the rain.

The "Nolia" one is done by a designer named Craig LeVasseur (theCLV), who I believe used LiDAR for it.

He's also made great versions of Oakmont, Merion, Winged Foot, and many others.

Okay, if Craig is behind it then I know it's a much play. I'm off to check it out now!

Re: 2k Augusta Created Courses?

I played the theCLV's (Craig LeVasseur) "The Nolia 2018" today and it was spectacular! I would give it the nod over April's Major, and that's mostly because Craig used Lidar to create The Nolia 2018's topography. It has a more natural look to it than April's Major, even though April's Major still looks great and the planting is superb. The granularity of the Lidar version gives it an authenticity that's hard to describe.

I will say this... I don't know why, but the audio and the sound effects in April's Major was more varied and interesting than Craig's The Nolia 2018. Has something happened that allows course designers to have some new input on the audio? I thought the audio on April's Major was even more interesting than what 2K has done with the official version of TPC Scottsdale!? I was really surprised by it, and pleasantly so I might add.

I think there are difference ambient sounds in different themes used when creating courses. I would guess that's why the courses had different background noises.

A search comes up empty.

The way to do this-- if you have a good Augusta-- is to start a society. Then users can jump in and favorite the course.

I got Augusta this way-- LST something.

"Nolia" was in 2K23, not in 2K25 - at least to my knowledge.

The Operation Sports society is using a good replica of it, if anyone wants to get it there.
