TheGolfClub Favorite Courses List and Simulator Friendly Courses List.

While I appreciate the concept of 'boost' - honestly - the correct way to do this is to have multiple tees and while I've said it before - I'll say it again:

The #1 feature missing from the simulator is the ability to have multiple tees for different players in the group. Even two sets of tees would be a huge improvement.

I would personally not use boost - because it'd reduce the value of the simulator in teaching the children which clubs to use when playing on a real course. 10 year old children and even 7 year old would likely understand that they are getting that boost - but what about the 5 year old golfers? What about the 3 year old? I start teaching children at 3 and would be willing to take them on course as young as 5 - and in my opinion having boost for young children would be a detriment to learning about different clubs.

Thanks so much Craig.

Impossible for this course - but are there any layouts that could be made to play from 4300-4600 yards? I've got 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th graders coming regularly - many take golf lessons and are pretty good, but they play with drives going between 150 and 180, so I'd like to find a course that suit them and not be all par 3 holes.

I made a nice challenging course for your grade schoolers using Biggens Shakespeare course. It plays around 4300 yards, I think they will love it . Named it.......... Hobokengolf's awesome course for 3rd-6th graders.

thanks! I will take a look - I have eight children coming every Monday starting next week and they'll be happy that there finally is a course with more than just par 3's.

I just tried this course with my wife- plays really nicely. I did come across what may be a glitch though - I couldn't get the ball to stop on the 10th green except way above the hole, which leaves a putt that either goes in or is off the green. Otherwise, great work!

Hey http://golfsimulatorforum.com/member/967-hobokengolf"]hobokengolf[/URL] - I don't have TGC (looking into options for my device) but is there no way to put a boost on for players? On my current system I have a boost on for my 10 and 7 year old sons that basically results in them driving around 300 yards if they hit it well. It lets me play along with them without a boost and it moves along quickly. The boost percentage reduces as the clubs get shorter, and no boost is on once they are using a wedge or putter (so chips and putts are realistic). If TGC/ProTee doesn't have that currently, someone should suggest/request it.

Yes. There's boost. It works the way you want it.

Just in time for the Masters....

Magnolia Nation Par 3 - Protee by TheClv24 just published.

TheClv24 who also did the main Magnolia course was nice enough to send us the file just in time for the masters. I always wanted to see what the Par 3 course looked like as I don't think there has been much camera coverage of it.

let him know if you like it

The Clv does great work, I assume you did not have to shorten the tees on this one . On another note, and speaking of real courses...... Just got word from TGC Tours that Whistling Straits received their coveted Five star rating. Whistling Straits now joins Magnolia National, Pinehurst and Pine Valley as the only 4 "real" courses with 5 star ratings. TheClv24 and I are tied at 2 each. This will change when he releases his Merion course I am sure. I am going to take a break from designing for a while, next up is Beth Page Black (I think).

Congrats Craig. You do great work. I love your ourses. Beth Page will be awesome.

[Js1010]

I did not touch - Hole lengths are from 78 yards up to about 145 or so. Greens are pretty fast but I think is part of the charm here.

[Js1010]

Congrats, Craig for Whistling. Really unreal what you had to do to create this.

[Mxwoodman]

Thanks Craig played Whistling Straits and wow you did a great job

[Cklguy2013]

Hey Craig,

I just played Whistling Straits blue tee version, *&^*&^% AWESOME! Great work, very well done!! Thanks you so much for creating these fantastic course for us to play on.

Just played Vale Do Morgado, Algarve, Portugal the other day. It's a fun course, but a bit long. Any way someone could get the course file and make a sim friendly version?

[Bubba22]

I will try!

Reebdoog was kind enough to toss me his new US Open contest course Elmview Golf Club. I had to tweak it quite a bit to make it playable on the sim but it is a gorgeous course . Published as Elmview Golf club Protee by Reebdoog.

[Bubba22]

Thanks Craig. Thank Reebdoog from all of us!

We will soon have Hazeltine and TGC Sawgrass from Ace1. He uses PS4 so I bribed him with some jerky and he also said he will do some of his other courses for us. I played Hazeltine and its awesome even with the long holes. He did tell me that the greens on Sawgrass will be tricky as they are the Sunday pins from the Tiger Woods game. And he did not sound willing to change them.
