Hi all,

I started design work on Sleeping Bear Downs nearly 10 years ago, it is finally completed and ready for play! The zip includes hole-by-hole notes from the designer, a round with the designer and, of course, the course! SBD was inspired by the design work of CB Macdonald and Seth Raynor and includes nine of their "template holes" (including a Redan, Eden, Maiden, Road, Biarritz and others!). Below are some screenshots of the final design.

I would love to hear what players think and I hope you enjoy the course!

Big thanks to BradtheDad and tarheel for play testing the course. Their feedback was instrumental in making the course playable and taking it to the next level. Many thanks guys!!

The course can be downloaded here: https://golfsimclubhouse.com/jack/jn6/f ... _Downs.zip

Best, Jeff


The Double Plateau 5th hole

The Redan 15th hole

The Infinity 17th hole

The Home 18th hole

Below are some additional screenshots from the completed course.

As I said, I'd love to hear players' thoughts on their round!


Chipping up to the boom-a-rang 4th green


Putting through the swale at the Biarritz 7th


On the 11th, playing from the Strath bunker at the Eden hole


Putting at the Punchbowl 13th can be a challenge

Very nice design Jeff
Comparing to the National it's a bit easier and shorter this time i scored around level par...one the big one it was 12 over beautifull designs and concepts
keep up with the great work
Bandon Dunes and Crystal Downs and Mid Ocean ... Next ...

Thanks John. I definitely made SBD to be more playable and not as difficult as National. Having said that, you still have to think your way around SBD if you really want to go low. Glad you enjoyed it!

I would like to see Bandon Dunes too... Jeff, you have the skills to make a great coastal course like BD.
