  • Low cost course design- Part 2

    I want to thank nickfisher47 for reaching out to me to design Harbour Ridge, River Ridge Golf Course near Palm City Florida. This course is packed with detail, I auto generated all the trees on the outskirts so that I could save file space for the course.

    Published name is Harbour Ridge - RR(L), give it a play if you want to play a very scenic course.

    Big thanks to aformagie for reaching out to me to design Hidden Lake Old Golf Course in Burlington Ontario. The final version is published as "Hidden Lake Old v3 JP-AF". This course is loaded with detail and great fun to play. The greens are set as soft and slow as possible in order to be more friendly more for approach shots for sim players.

      Huge Appreciation to jpotas for his design talent on both Hidden Lake Old v3, and Hidden Lake New by JP-AF. John is a true perfectionist, and worked tirelessly to perfect every detail. Those members of Hidden Lake are envious of the courses now available for Mevo+. Highly recommend jpotas for all your design needs for TGC 2019. Thx J

      I big shout out to orangeman for reaching out to me to design Rollingstone Ranch GC in Steamboat Springs Colorado. This course is nestled in the Rockies, and has a 1.4 mile fast moving stream running through it. We max'd out the object meter on this one, lots of detail, and elevation changes galore. It is truly a beautiful course.

        That's a great story. It was a tough course to create. I was constantly worried about filling the object meter. I had to leave some details out because I just could not fit everything.

        jpotas I can only image. There is a ton of detail. It plays pretty much the way I remember it, which is amazing. Thanks again!

        Shipwreck34, don't thank me, thank orangeman, he contacted me to make the course for him!! I did enjoy it though, I love the way a course comes together and I constantly spin and rotate the views as I design them in order to make sure everything is realistic. It amazes me how real some of the courses look!

      Rollingstone is FANTASTIC J!

      One of the better courses I have played and thank you for making our lives better!

        Thank you! If you like mountain courses try Coal Creek at Newcastle and Red Rock GC Las Vegas MTN. Coal Creek is mountains and trees(accuracy is a must), Red Rock is desert at the base of mountains, lots of elevation changes.

        One of my faves. Lucky enough to get to play a few rounds every summer. It was fun working with John on this. Really came out well.

      I want to thank @aformagie for reaching out to me for "Hidden lake New by JP-AF", this is a Lidar recreation of Hidden Lake New Golf Course in Ontario Canada. I posted previously regarding it's sister course, Hidden Lake Old but never posted this one.

      Lots of detail on this course, tall heather, water, trees, and lots of sand.

      wbond, please add this one to your list.

          Special thanks to caiany777 for reaching out to me to design "Royal Mayfair Golf Club-L". This is a Lidar recreation of a course in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. It is a beautiful and scenic course with tree lined fairways and tight out of bounds.

            I can't explain how amazingly thorough jpotas was in this course design process. I had contacted a couple other people on course design before finding John. None of them could find the LIDAR data to even get the process started and their prices were much, much higher. John put the time in and got the LIDAR data from the government here in Canada and from there it was a smooth and incredibly detailed and fun process. I had around 10 beta's where I could make tweaks and add detail that couldn't be seen unless you play the course in person. John got so much of it right to start though from bathrooms, stones, steps, clubhouse/patio etc. The extremely detailed tree and bush placement was probably the best part of this course design because we have so many trees on the course that come into play. Can't thank John enough for this experience and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in getting a course put into TGC. If you have specific questions feel free to DM me and I would happily answer them.

                We need more par 3 courses! Thank you for creating this, John, and for sharing all your work here. Can't wait to give some of your courses a try when I get back home next month. Keep up the good work, and thanks again!

              jpotas any idea why I cannot find your version of Calderone on TGC2019? I’ve searched exactly as you have it named and searched by looking for more my designer on another of your courses and still cannot find it.

                hintsas , that was one of my earlier courses so I think it was published on my sim version of tgc 2019. Are you looking for it on Steam, if so it won't be there? I am out of town right now but Sunday evening I will copy it and publish on my Steam version.

                  I have both versions, i didnt think about that. I usually check it out on steam first before playing on the sim. Ill look on the sim software for it!

                    hintsas just remember that it is one of my very early courses, it plays well but it is not the caliber that my later courses are.

                    Also, since you are interested in Calderone are you a SE Mich guy?

                      I found it, you are right it is only on the sim software. I live in the UP, but i have a friend who lives in Grass Lake, so ive played this course multiple times.

                        Try your luck at Wild Marsh Golf Club, located in Minnesota, this course is build around a massive marsh and lake. This course demands on point aim and execution or its going into the marsh. Thanks to JasonM for reaching out to me for this one.
