    Hey Everyone,

    We need about 5-8 Alpine(themed) courses to continue our LGGT tour on. This would be weeks 7-9 of our tour.

    Ideally tough but fair courses, not to heavy on the fantasy aspect , but courses guys would enjoy playing over and over again in a competitive tour atmosphere.

    We will also need a course to play the "major" on. Ideally this course has (or someone is willing) to have 4 setups of this course, with different pins, and if the designer is skillful, different tee blocks too.

    For the Rural major we used "ShawShank Lakes", "Baja" for Desert. All with different setups and its been great!


    If it is your course, we'll provide you back with
    -Hole Handicap information (average field shooting, hardest to easiest holes)
    -Top highlights from members on your course
    -Other stats like most birdies, par 3 king ect.
    An example of this would be

    Thanks Gents!

    Look forward to your feedback on Alpine courses you have played!

    We "may" have our Major set up, if it works out for the designer to put 4 versions together comfortably.

    Thanks!

    Did you rely on the course creator to make ANY fairways? Rough? Heavy Rough? Bunkers?

    If so, everytime you move a tee, it will move those auto generated fairways/rough/bunkers/trees along with it. Making it virtually impossible to replicate the same course 3 additional times.

    The entire course needs to be done from scratch if you want to save yourself a TON OF WORK, and lots of headaches. Every rough, green, fairway, tee, etc...needs to be laid brush by brush, individually.

    I just published Perkins Village CC which is Alpine themed. Doubt it could be called ordinary, mundane or repetitive as Lower Valley has been called.

    Par 3's and 5's go in different directions, 3 of the par 5's are reachable in 2 with favourable or no wind and 2 of the tee shots on the par 5's you have to shape your shot to get better position to go for it in 2 (Holes 4 and 13). Some approach shots need to be shaped to get around trees if you want to go at the pin, but the greens are large enough where you dont have to go at it....youll just leave yourself a long putt.

    Greens are receptive and I just played in 11mph winds, a couple of holes that were dead straight into the wind required a 5 wood with the 2nd shot, but the stuck the green and didnt bounce 20 yards through.

    Heres the video I took if you want a look, got screwed on the 9th where the ball trickled back into the greenside bunker and then horseshoed out on my flop out lol.

    Aim to the right side of the green and it will feed to the pin. Green is raised quite a bit on the right. I screwed up my shot lol

    Which hole? Im sure I checked to make sure they were all level.

    I had one hole left to design and after I finished it half the other greens had changed. thought I'd fixed everything though.

    I just edited Perkins Village after replaying it and noticed that from certain directions the slope next to pins were too extreme where it shifted all the greens just as I was finishing up creating the course. I smoothed out about 6 pins and moved the tree o nthe 3rd across a few yards. Now called:

    My course is up. Kinda pissed at the creator, as when I tried the Sunday pin on #2 (about 15 times or so) it was a slight slope, but in game it is near impossible to hold the green. Anyways, that seems to be the only hitch.
