U lucky bugger Pols, did you phone her boss? :) A quiet Sunday afternoon designing with only a 15year single malt for company would be to die for ... sigh.

2 days into play testing.
Amazing, I rebuilt nearly every greensite and been smoothing bumps everywhere.
You think you need to exagerate features so they will still show after smoothing, but they come out pretty much intact after compiling.
Just toning dowm the moonscape!

Landscape gardeners are on standby to start planting, just as soon as the earth movers have finished.

David! Looks good but if your trying to make it as close as possible to the real thing you may want to add trees to the right of green. Also left of tee between green and tee had more of a regular rough or even fairway look from the 1st pic. Your call of course just thought I'd mention it from looking at the 2 pics.

Just first attempts Steve, not the final version.
Thanks for your observations though, will keep them in mind.
