PGA 2k21 Created Course Thread

[MrArlingtonBeach]

I'm working on a real-course recreation of the Irish Course at Whistling Straits. I played this course back in 2016 with my dad, and it was an amazing experience.

The Irish Course is inland from its more-famous sister course, the Straits, which has hosted the PGA Championship three times and will host (fingers crossed) the 2021 Ryder Cup. Wind is still a factor on the Irish, even though the course is a farther away from Lake Michigan. Sand is the biggest hazard to deal with, as well as several ponds and creeks that meander throughout the property.

Here's a look at the par-3 third hole, called "Sleeper", to get a feel for what the course looks like in real life:



I don't use LiDAR or anything like that, so I'm still a long way from even considering sharing a screenshot of my progress. But it's been fun to work on the course so far.

My real-course recreation of the Irish Course at Whistling Straits has been published!

It's in the game as "Whistling Straits (Irish)".

Have fun, and hit 'em straight!

That was you over there on that "other forum"?

I played it earlier today; enjoyed it much. I see there is a V2 now. I'll be teeing it up tonight Any plans for the sister course?

Haha...indeed it is me over "there". Glad you enjoyed it! V2 is exactly the same, except the heavy rough is a more burned-out, linksy looking yellow.

No plans for the "big course" as of now...but that could change. There was a really good version on TGC 2019, and it's a shame it has not been ported over.

For my next project, I am thinking about creating a local municipal course that used to hold a PGA Tour event.

Great course MAB. I played it two days ago on the PC version and it's really pure and plays sweet. I'll be setting up a Society tournament there soon... nice work!

Thanks for adding the Irish to your tour/society!

As for those courses you're looking for, I don't know if any are published...but I do know someone is working on TPC Craig Ranch.
