Thought I's start Birkdale.
Brian is doing the Shinnecock plot, same as Fishers Island.
Idle hands and all that.

All elevations finished, moved to play test stage now.
2 things jumping out at me:
1. All my approach shots to greens eem to be playing uphill, which I know isn't the case as the landplot is flat.
2. Not sure if I like the look of the bunkering.
They look too big, and have really sharpe edges, just dont look realistic.

David! Not sure how Royal Birkdale is, but I do know most true links course's have only a few uphill approach shots and ussually not very much uphill. Shinnecock Hills is one of the exceptions of the flat layout. Bunkers are a tad to sharp on the lip but not sure what is the proper fix. Might try a hugh circle around a grouping of bunkers and smooth once on minimun setting. If it doesn't turn out good then hit the undo button and save each time before trying a fix.

Echo that Steve, just look at all that detail - multiple tee boxes, cartpaths, bunkers, etc. And all accurate I'm betting, very impressive.
