This is not a complete list but it will help. I can't believe how much utter crap has been released. Gotta be a way to sort this out.

Yeah it is a lot. I have scrolled some of the list previously. At least you can sort and search on it. I want to keep this thread separate from tgc tours though and focus on those creators who come here and may not necessarily go there. There will be some crossover I know but there are probably a lot of people who don't know about that site. I only just discovered that site a few weeks ago myself.

Starting work on a real course recreation of a track I am hoping to play this upcoming weekend: Madeline Island Golf Club in La Pointe, WI.

Madeline Island is the largest of the Apostle Islands, and is the only Apostle Island that is allowed to be commercially developed. Access to the island requires a 20 minute ferry ride that departs from Bayfield, WI on the mainland. The golf course is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, and opened for play in 1967.

It features an interesting layout that makes the most of the small plot of land that the course occupies - the entire island is just 14 miles long and 3 miles wide. For example, holes #6 and #15 share a fairway, and then split off into doglegs that head in the opposite directions. Many of the sprawling greens act as double greens for multiple holes as well. Seven of the holes feature stunning views of Lake Superior.

This will be a tricky design, and I hope to play the course this weekend to get a feel for what it looks like up close and in person. Hoping to be able to share this one out sometime soon!

Here's a real photo from one of the greens, overlooking Lake Superior:

My Madeline Island Golf Club real course recreation has been published!

It's a short course, coming in around 6300 yards from the blue tees, but it does have a few holes with tight, narrow fairways, as well as massive greens that are well protected by bunkers. Once you find the putting surface, you'll be greeted with medium-fast green speeds, but not too much in the way of undulation. It's a resort-type course that's designed more for enjoyment than for a real challenge.

As mentioned in the OS Golfer's thread, I have recently played this course, and it presents a unique experience - double greens are the norm here, and shared tees and fairways are also common. Only two holes (Nos. 7 and 16) are stand-alone holes that have their own tee, fairway, and green.

Par 5s are very reachable for any long hitter, so scoring should be low. But watch out for when that strong east wind blows in off of Lake Superior! You'll never know what scores you might put up!

Anyway, give it a play if you're interested...good luck, and hit 'em straight!

I played this course last night and enjoyed it tremendously, even though it made me play more of my least favorite shots in 2K21, the dreaded pitch shot! I should have just layed up on a lot of the holes and left myself a full lob wedge approach instead of the 45 to 70 yard pitches.

It's a great looking course and uses its available space in interesting ways. I liked the double greens for parallel holes, as a change of pace. I can imagine that sets up some interesting situations in real life there? You did a great job with the planting and the texturing. It looks like you've captured the atmosphere of the real course quite well.

I like playing and seeing real life courses in the game that aren't major championship caliber challenges. Well done!

Sounds good. I updated the second post. I will give it a go. Sounds like a fun course.
