Absolutely tarheel, I think it will be the most exclusive golf club in the world though with a possible 5 members :)
EDIT and to be clear I am not talking about the standard of the course, only the small number of members lol

The textures by Charlie (same as our Alainns co-design) was one of the main reasons I got inspired to make a full course. They really blend well as you say, especially when making irregular pieces and copy and paste onto the main rough. They are so good that large pieces of the three different
yellow/lightbrown textures can replace planting hundreds of grass objects far away.

Now I have 18 holes so I promise these are the final screenshots :)

This hole is played from the former green on the par 5 sand hole, I used what I have and made a reverse par 4 from there using the same fairway and a green from an existing par 3 in the same hole window. I know I am lazy but I planted new stuff and edited the fairway so you would never know if I did not tell lol.

The green if you did not manage to reach it, which you of course would

Looking really cool!

I’ve decided that after my « Pga » series, I’m going to do a different « spotlight » tour where I spotlight a pair of courses each week (so two rounds on two courses each week) and this one will probably end up on it :)

Likely, I’ll try to do a pair of courses of same designer or different versions of same course by different designers.

I totally forgot how to make hole maps, and it took me two halfdays to make my first one lol. Transparency and flooding and 256 colors and all made my brain hurt, but my old ones always looked crap compared to others. But really happy with these, by my standards :) Made nine today, and the rest should be finished tomorrow now that I get it.

Oh no, now I see I accidently deleted the other tee box to the right of the path. Well practise makes perfect as they say, will have to remake this map or make even the old ladies tee off from here lol

If you need any assistance on overheads, Sundance seems to have a lock on how to get those done
