Started working on transparent overheads. Will post a couple when I'm satisfied. :)

ImageHole #15 at Palm Harbor is a 551 yard par 5 which is reachable in two but not without consequences. Off the tee the fairway narrows around the landing area with two huge bunkers to the left and an intimidating pond to the right. There's a teaser fairway that juts out just over the pond but it's unreachable so be smart off the tee. Now the challenge on the second is a blind shot to reach the green that must clear a row of palms and split another huge bunker to the left and yet another pond on the right. You do have an optional lay up to the right with a short chip to the dance floor! Be wise as things are getting tougher at Palm Harbor! I'm giving you several peeks from the tee, the approach, the lay up and from the dance floor! You'll notice the transparent overheads for the first time. The holes and writing are solid but everything else is transparent to show of the scenery. I also added two extra views from previous holes to show a variety of the overheads. Let me know what you think. Thanks.Image

everything looks great. I love everything about this course so far. Textures, panorama, hole layouts look super. Looking forward to giving it a try. The overheads are unique and look really nice. I like ocean/tropical courses.

Those overheads look terrific Steve, and of course, something original from the Sundance stable. I always thought you were a nice bloke, but Hole 15 is starting to show a more sinister you! :laugh:

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback Brad!! Hole #16 @ Palm Harbor is a 470 yard par 4 with a creek running the entire left side of the hole. Off the tee the landing area narrows and is also guarded on the right by a bunker. Most will have a long iron approach to an elevated green with two large bunkers on the right to keep you honest. A picturesque but challenging hole where par is very good! A trio of peeks from the tee, approach and green.Image
