You can not have multiple pin placements on a course. The had it in and it was causing issues with there ghost ball feature so it is out right now. They are looking to add it in the future though.
We got some relief on this today it seems... a couple of developers have confirmed that the way to have multiple pin settings for a course is to, in essence, create four unique courses. Creating them would entail nothing more that copying or editing your original course, changing only the pin settings, and giving the course a new name. For example, if you created Doflotchy CC, you could name the original course - "Doflotchy CC - R1. Load it back up, edit the pins to what you'd want for round 2, and save the course as "Doflotchy CC - R2", and down the line.

You could then create a 72 hole tournament, play the first round at Doflotchy CC -R1, round 2 at Doflotchy CC - R2, etc. This can work because the devs have confirmed that you can have a 72 hole tournament, and use a different course for each round. Here, you'd be using a different course in name only, but it would still be the same track. I find this to be a tenable solution. Yes, it will make for a lot of course names, but if we followed the convention of keeping the root name, changing only the "R" (round) variable, it would make things readable. It would also tell the prospective player which pin settings you consider your "Sunday" settings, and so on.

How does this sit with you guys? Are there problems with this that I'm not seeing?
