Re: TGC2 OS community courses thread

Actually, I should throw up a few disclaimers before people do play it so they know a bit more what to expect:

(1) The course was designed to be rather difficult, even brutally so. I had released a couple courses prior to this one that seemed way too easy. Ultimately, after my first full play-through in quite a while, I feel as though I swung too far in the other direction. I really wouldn't recommend playing the course unless you want a somewhat unique challenge. That brings me to the next point:

(2) This is a course I brought forward from the original game. Unfortunately, it appears of number of things didn't translate all that well into the new game. I thought I had played all the holes prior to re-publishing, but there are a couple small things I missed after doing a full run on the black tees. I didn't play-test all the tees, either, which in hindsight I realize I should have done so. You'll probably have a better experience from the gold or red tees, but I suppose the point of those is to make it somewhat easier (in this case perhaps just bearable).

(3) All-in-all, I'd say the course is much better to look at than play, so I just wanted to give a word of caution going forward. While I'm not particularly good at the game, I wouldn't say I'm awful (other than the relentless fade I can't seem to shake now), and I did somewhat rush, but I ended up shooting an 89 from the blacks.

Anyway, figured I'd throw up my own thoughts before other people felt the urge to dive in. Not a course I would recommend for everyone, probably mostly for players that feel they've somewhat mastered the game.

So this post isn't a total waste otherwise, I'll offer a quick preview of my next course still in the works, though it is being built from the start with the new engine:



Looking out toward the first hole from the cart garage. Ignore the unfinished cart path for now.



The clubhouse as seen from the driving range. The course will be notable for its tall pines, but generally it will be an open-air course with less foliage.
