I’m a new designer and have three courses out there I’d love to get some plays on and comments.

Are these real courses and did you create them based on Lidar data?

It would help to get plays if you would post a little description of each of these courses and add some screenshots of each. Good luck.

Thanks everyone! I’ll try to get some descriptions and photos. These are man made courses using designer - not LiDAR. I created each one from scratch.

The Golf Course at Grayson is my first course. This is a traditional type course, with two tee positions and two pin positions. Allowing you to have up to four playing experiences. There are scorable holes, but yet still some intersting challenges to make this not a wide open course. Well placed hazards make shot selection critical. You'll see some elevation changes throughout the course that give the holes some character. The front nine tends to play a little tougher than the back. The finishing hole is a par 4 - 279 yards in front of the clubhouse. Great chance at a driveable par 4 for an eagle. I've included a screen shot below. It's a country club course.

Grayson Links is my second course and my attempt at a links style course. So you won’t see trees, but you’ll see holes bordered by tall heather all around the fairways and greens.

This is a short course playing to a par of 72. No par 5 is over 500 yards and there are several chances for eagles on the par 5s and short par 4s.

The interesting feature is that I put in a winding creek that comes in to play on 14 of the 18 holes to varying degrees. At times it will beg you to challenge it and other times will be willing to take your careless shot.

The fairways have a lot of undulations and rarely do you find a perfectly flat lie. This is to counteract the shorter hole lengths overall.
