If you run out of ideas for our co-design or any fictional design, the strokesavers website is a great source. I used it for my hole at Alainn, real courses usually have better hole strategy than I can come up with.
Below is a link to Carnoustie, one of my favourite links courses. I think hole 6 has one of the best tee shots, with lots of choises. It is a par 5, so for my par 4 hole I looked at my randomised hole window and tried to find a good spot for the green area and worked from there.

Thanks Goran. That's a great resource.

This is awesome Goran! Thanks for pointing it out!

It is only a sample, only a few courses are free to watch. But St Andrews, Royal Troon, Carnoustie, Vallderrama, Gleneagles and Skibo are available. Good enough inspiration for a couple of JN6 courses.
I often used real holes for my fictional designs, but only as examples of good layouts, did not copy them. Wellknown holes but also local real holes I played myself and just stretched them out a bit.

Well, CB MacDonald and Seth Raynor had their template holes that they copied over and over. So, good enough for them, good enough for us!

Very good point Jeff, nothing wrong with copying good template layouts But I always have more fun copying them and place the hole layouts on a random ground and add my own ideas. I use them more like a starting points, sometimes they are not recognisable after I mess with the originals
