Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
Looks great, any progress on this course?
Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
Alex! Reminds me a little of Beth Page. Looking forward to more updates.
Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
Alex, I agree with Steve about it looking very Bethpage like.....which is a good thing! It looks like a tough driving hole too.

Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
So, Eden Prairie is built from a plot I took from the real town of Eden Prairie, MN, on the outer edge of the the Twin Cities. It's in the "neighborhood" of Halzetine National and Interlachen. I'm trying for something that resembles the works of Allister Mckenzie. The reason it looks a lot like Bethpage is because it does. I'm not as skilled as others when it comes to library creation, so the goal here is to build 18 holes of gold, focusing on a course that is challenging and fair shot for shot.
Currently, I'm about 80% done with 9 holes. The other 9 are still quite blank, and I've not been able to work on it since before Christmas. Here's a few looks at holes 5 and 6.
PS, that's 18 holes of GOLF, Gold is a high standard I'll let others indicate for me.

Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
Hey, all. Here's an update. The finished look of hole #1. I know the textures are Bethpage. Since custom libraries are still something I'm struggling with, the challenge here is to make 18 holes of golf with the emphasis on strategic shotmaking.

Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
A very nice looking hole Alex! Strategically, the layout looks pretty good. If you are looking to make it more challenging, keep the fairway less than 30 yards wide. It still looks like a formidable tee shot.
Keep up the good work!

Re: Eden Prairie Golf Club
Alex! Glad to see your still working on this course. Looking forward to its release. There's plenty of good libraries avalible so don't fill bad about not creating your own custom library.
