No worries Steve,
Glad of the suggestions. Will look at it next time the architect is open.

I see it.
Best call the bulldozers and earth moving equipment back!
Green has a significant slope down to the water, don't know if its 30 degrees though.

Dave! I was talking about the shape of your green is fine but needed turned right 30 degrees. The green does have a nasty slope in the top half going down.

All stop!
Something Judy said in a different thread has been eating away at me for nearly a week now, along the lines of creating a seemless join along the holes and transition between the blends.
I've been building 18 individual holes, not one unified golf course.
Now I'm thinking, can I come up with a plot that will allow a traditional routing where holes interact with each other, where you get the chance to play the best 18 in world golf.
I don't aim to make each hole an exact replica visually of the original, but use just a couple of libraries, althought the yardages and layouts will be the same.

I'm tempted to 'flatten everything' so far, work on the routing, then reposition what I have so far to fit the plot, and then got to town on making it al flow together.

Damn you Indy, with your sensible and good ideas!

I have actually done that before! I was halfway through with Red Dragon and decided to flatten, and re-route 2 holes.
