Golf Digest Top 100 Courses

[MainStGolf]

I was taking a look at the Golf Digest Top 100 list for 2017 and wondered how many of these Top 100 courses we have on TGC. I know we have a good number of them. Then I wondered well I know some of these have more than one rendition. Has anyone looked at the Top 100 and come up with where or not these are available on TGC and if so which one is the best or best 2-3 I know best is subjective.

That's an amazing idea. Are you volunteering?

[MainStGolf]

I would certainly help! But I know there are others out there that have played a lot more course than I have :-).

mthunt Since you design courses do you have the ability to preview without playing. Is this possible on the pc versions? This would be much faster. Also How do we get course flyovers, even those by the designers without playing them? Is it only the designer who can do that?

While I am asking about designing, Is it only the original designer who can make changes to a design? In other words, If you had a design could I get the "file" and changes the tee boxes or hole positions?

This database is a decent starting point if you're wanting to weed out the poorly made recreations. All of these are considered well done, especially those that they officially use on the console/PC tours. You'll find a lot of Top 100 courses on this list.

awesome list. love you can click them and see the yardage. oh, plus, i have the next 4 days off.


...i should probably start stocking up on ice and compression wraps

[Vincent_Vega]

A large percentage of those should have Protee versions as well. Ks-man's list is a good place to cross reference. I still use his the most.

Only the course designer can make changes but everyone can do flyovers and previews and skip holes to see the course. There is no advantage being a designer.

To do this do you have to "play" the course and concede your way through? Or is there an easier way to do it?

Concede and scout is the only way.

Thank you for clarifying.

This google earth tutorial has me intrigued. One of my New Years resolutions is to design a good real course re-creation this year. Thinking about broadmoor east since it's local and I love it. Not sure if it's still top 100 but has been.

What google earth tutorial? A huge asset to design is a real flyover.

[Bnorman58]

On hb studios. There is also discussion on how to use it for elevation. I plan to use Course maps and if there is a flyover available . I plan to use all resources available. The feature I was not aware of in google maps is the measuring lines which can translate to the course designer measuring lines. I was also not aware of the terrain feature in regards to elevation.

does anyone here from australia know what courses are in victoria .... melbourne replica's? I've done a search and either I'm useless or there isn't a lot there.
