Must be mad but I've started the next one.

David! Thought you were doing Shinnacock Hills,but happy to see you are doing Royal Birkdale.

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

I look forward to this one. A lot.

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.

Here's how it looks another week on.

Looks like its coming along quite nicely. Keep up the good work.

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