Re: The Golf Club Early Access Available Now on Steam For $29.99 - Post Your Impressi

Just about done my US Open course. Still haven't figured out what to call the place but after about 3 hours I'm just about done. I just finished playing the entire course and I'll have to tinker with a couple of hole locations.

I think this course plays much tougher than my Vancouver National course. I designed and shaped each green with specific landing area's around the pins in mind. If you fall short or fly the ball past the pin you will be faced difficult long putts. Some greens I easily spent a good 20 minutes on getting the slopes right and making sure the putts were as fair as possible. Some earlier slopes I had made the ball nearly impossible to get near the hole without the ball rolling back 25 feet lmao...

The front 9 are the easiest as the pins are a bit more accessible whereas with the back 9 a lot of the pins are cut near bunkers and hazards. High and low draws + fades are a must. Also course management is important. You need to know when to attack a pin and when to aim to the fatter part of the greens. Better make sure you're accurate off the tee, with these hole locations it's important to be in the short grass.

Here's a screen shot of the approach to 18.



I should have the course published tomorrow night after I get home from work.
