Thanks for the thoughts Alex. We're you referring to the new hole being reminiscent of the Eden hole, or the original image I posted?

The original was a hole from Mill Creek I used just to library test (+ a little earth moving)

Cheers

Sorry, the rebuild looks like Eden to me.

Ah cool, gotcha. Well happy it resembles the Eden :) but it plays quite differently. The overhead would have given it away but hidden, flanking bunkers beyond those visible actually pose most of the problems, plus the green slopes front to back if anything unlike the dramatic back to front of the Eden, which is fair given the shorter length I hope. I did an Eden-style hole on Mamacs Retreat (17th?) - the green is pretty wild but hopefully on the limit of fair and playable. It's a great hole IRL, one of my favourites... Cheers!

Duncan! I think your #11 (2nd pic.) works better with your pano. Very cool Might think about putting a Zebra or Giraffe somewhere in the distance. Just a thought.

I have plenty of that planned - although not for this hole. That said I've added some objects to give you an idea - a giraffe, a small herd of impala and a safari jeep...

Duncan! One quetion about #16. How do you get from the tee to the green and the 17th tee? I do like the look.

Hi Steve, path was routed when the elevations were created. Haven't decided where 17 tee will be (or built the 15th either) but it will lead off from current path. You can see it to the left if you look hard. There is a school of thought where architects try to hide all paths etc so it doesn't spoil the aesthetic. I agree but in simulation golf sometimes its nice to show hints to add to the realism...

Very nice Duncan. The rocks look so real, and this hole looks incredible!
