Looking for a course visually like Congaree

Does anyone know of an existing GBC course with the Congaree look? I like how the holes are surrounded by sandy waste giving it a unique character. PGA is playing there this weekend so I need a substitute to use.

Maybe a future project for someone?

All that sand makes it look similar to a sandbelt course; you might check courses from Australia. Some courses in the game with large sandy areas include:

Falsterbo
xsand
Wildwood Dunes
The National Golf Links
Erin Hills
Sandhills of White Lark
Royal Melbourne Composite
Australian Links

However, some of these are located on the ocean. Congaree appears to be nowhere near the ocean.

If you want to play a good South Carolina golf course (Congaree is a SC course), you can't find one better than Colleton River by Scott Antes. He did it twice. Both are good, but I would play the updated version, which is gorgeous.

Thanks for the help guys! I ended up using x-sand because visually it gave me what i was looking for. Unfortunately I wish it had a little more water to match the real course. The real course has two par threes with a forced carryover water which this does not have.

Tobacco Road was also a really good choice but I would like to save that for later as a sub if needed and it seemed a little more wooded.

I feel like I need to sponsor somebody to make a Congaree! It’s an exciting little course listed as an upper echelon private course in some lists
