I did think about that robert.... I basically created the texture set using Scottsdale as a guide and did create a Dormant rough (comparable to Scottsdales texture around bunkers) I may add that see what it does, cause that is a great look!

Sure miss some @ designs....Why dont ya build us one??? :)

Terry, you have a way with the architect! Those blends look so natural and real along with the pano......not to mention the course layout looks awesome too. I can't wait to get a chance to play there :)

Have you thought about a joint project with Gabagoo? If you guys put your talents together I am sure the course would be in the running for the best of the best. Just a thought - good to hear you are enjoying the warm spell :)

Still moving dirt (Er Sand) around.... Hope you enjoy.. Im still focusing on scale with this one.. Trying to make it look realistic...No idea about desert courses, but still giving it a go....

Terry! Love the look of your 9th green and bunkering. I know your trying to blend the rough into the desert but generally speaking desert courses don't blend like a dunes courses. Just for your info. You might have a little blending but where the desert meets the rough but the desert dominates so I'd be careful how much (how far out) blending you do. Just a suggestion

Looks really nice Terry. Take your time finishing it, dont get rushed. Have you given any thought to the monthly water charges to keep this course green, lol. Spencer.

LOL Spencer... I swear last night I was working on one of the holes... I was thinking man this is lush for a desert course... Then I put in a nice lake/pond between two holes (only water on entire course) and thought, Ok they are irragating it
with this...LOL...

Funny, thought I said something to that effect a month ago.
