Love the sounds of this Bob. Can't wait to see the vid.

It was actually pretty well down. I have yet to find a way to manually create a shape on the course, It may be available to do, but has escaped me up to this point.

You will cringe at 50% of my shots - I swear it's true. I also turned off the commentary for you, so all you will hear is the natural course ambiance.

I cant imagine not being able to manually change fairway shape. I couldn't create a real course without it

You can change fairway shape - but not in the way you're hoping for. If you think you're going to bust out a pencil like option and draw manual shapes on the course, you are going to be disappointed.

FYI - here's a fly-over of Bay Hill. Not bad really.

I played the first 12 holes of it last night. The theme King Javo had to use is nowhere near the sub-tropic theme of Bay Hill, but the layout and general feel of the holes is there. You'd have to really be up on your local knowledge of Bay Hill to know what course you were playing from playing this course. OTOH, if you dropped it into a sub-tropical theme, with all of the sub-tropic trees and vegetation, and this one would be recognizable to all.

I don't care what you 'call' this course, it's probably the best course I've seen thus far in The Golf Club. It'll definitely be on my Favorites list and get repeated play. It'll bring you to your knees, but mostly for the right reasons. I hope that others will judge this course for what it actually is, not how much it looks like Bay Hill. It doesn't have a chance at the latter with this mountainous, rural theme in which it's set. Oh, I was 8 over par through 12 holes with two snowmen on my card... one of them was a four-putt green.

I finished +18 and had nightmares about playing my round. It's a beautiful course, and while I struggled mightily on it, it wasn't because of cheap tactics. The course is simply just a soul crusher -

Yeah, the themes are somewhat limiting right now. And, as Javo said, the beta prevents some of the finer tuning required to really make these real-life courses.

I can't stand the wait. Truly haven't been this amped for a game in awhile.
