Shooz its a comment area. Ya know, where people make, comments. If there wasnt custructive criticism then there how would anyone know what to download and what not to? Also how would the designer ever know what to try the next time around? I appluad everyone who makes a course because its not easy but to be so niave to say there shouldnt be any criticism is foolish. I guess you think Volcano outbreak is a great course

Fire, text doesnt always translate to what your thinking. To me and others what someone writes alot of times reads different than the way the person who wrote it intended. I dont see any reason anyone should be suspended for comments made on here. Nobody started attacking anyone, we all just stated our opinions, no big deal. Its cool, I see what you meant after explaining it because before that I took your original post alot different then you meant. It sounded like you were saying things that apparaently you didnt mean. It reads like you thought novice players were garbage pretty much. No big man, happy holidays and golfing everyone.

Well sing ... I mean Sting,
I did get it ... obviously you didnt ... and I dont see where I said that ALL novice players are new ... I said and I quote Typically those that I have encountered who play novice are newer to the game,...”
See that ... Typically those that I have encountered...” I also fail to see where I said that it was a bad thing to play novice. In fact what I did say was ...this is very frustrating to those of us that enjoy the more advanced level of play.
Now I dont happen to agree with what I read in your post Wingz ... although I do understand your point. (And thank you for the insight into why people play novice ... no I really didnt get that, but now I do) Also, I find that the obstacles in the fairway are rather irritating too, but I didnt say that I didnt enjoy the challenge. I also fail to see where I said that the level of play changes the aspect of a layout ... but if that is what you get out of it then fine. What was meant was it changes the ease of playability.
Disclaimer: Yes I realize I am probably going to be told that this post should be in the forum. That would be fine, except that I am apparently not allowed to post in the forum as any post that I attempt to make gives me an error. I also realize that this could result in a suspension, or a ban from this site... if it is deemed necessary then so be it. I can take it. I also have never, nor will ever, assume that playing novice is a bad thing ... just frustrating as I pointed out (yet again) above!!
Have a nice day and Happy Holidays ... nice course Hilly ... nice trees too!

Thank you! Thats exactly what Im saying. Something FnA (NOT a typo, he just didnt get it!) Trees in the fairway are trees in the fairway no matter what lever played. And just an FYI....As wingz stated, I DO run and play an Intermediate league.

FNI, I play novice, intermediate and advanced and I dont think skill levels change any aspect of a courses layout one bit. It changes the difficulty of play. Its not like hitting from the white tees one round then the blacks the next. That actually changes the courses dynamic. Now as for novice players being new...I still play novice and Ive been playing Tiger since 99. One better, Sting runs a Intermediate weekly tour at my site for me and has a handicap of -16 so theory #2 is kinda out the window as well. As for why people still play novice, well because novice turns the game more towards the arcade style. Not everyone likes sim style golf. In my case I happen to enjoy both so I play all levels. As for the course, I agree, just a few less obstacles and this becomes a course I play often. The assumption that because someone didnt enjoy all the obstacles means they only play novice (as if thats a bad thing) is a bit misinformed. In fact all it means is they dont like obstacles on every hole.

Roger that Steve. I encourage all feedabck good or bad(hopefully some good ) lol), it is the only way to try and adapt to more tastes. I tried to make a middle medium, it is very hard to make a course that is not to easy for some players nor way to hard for others. I hope my next course will please all :) Happy Holidays

I agree with FirenIce015 that you need to place your shots well here. I also agree with Stingray65 that it is a bit overtreed around the greens. But what is most important here is that the designer shows a talent. Keep working and listen to the comments. All comments are good, whether you agree with them or not. They tell you what others like. If you are building courses only for yourself and friends then you do not need to upload them, but since you did you probably want others to enjoy also. So try to get a little of what everyone likes, when possible, and still show your own style. I look forward to more of your work.

Sting, Actually skill level has a lot to do with it. Typically those that I have encountered who play novice are newer to the game, there for not as accustom to being able to read the key shot paths that guide you into the clearing for your next shot. I do know that there are some out there that choose to play novice for whatever reason, this is very frustrating to those of us that enjoy the more advanced level of play. If you seriously do not think that skill level makes any difference then I challenge you to a game that I set. Now dont get me wrong, I do know that I am awful at this game, nonetheless I challenge you.
Oh, one more thing ... if you are going to abbreviate my name ... at least you could get it right ... it would be FnI ... (skill level doesnt matter eh?)

FnA - Makes some sense man! What does skill level have to do with anything? Hilly - I agree, the long ball is not always the best. I actually prefer courses where skilled setup shots are required. I DID like the course. My only complaint was too many obstacles around the greens.

Sorry you dont like Stingray, I think its very playable/parable for all levels and conditions. The long ball is not always the best as in real golf.

I dont mind seeing a tree or 2 in a fairway once in a while, but this is an obstacle course! This really had the potential to be a really nice course. Nice try.

A few things i noticed !st its a shame the designer didnt incorporate the stone work around the rest of the water holes as he did on the 2nd tee canal it looks great instead the texture used looks very blocky. 2nd the limey green texture used for the green is almost blinding. The course takes a fair while to render so if you do get kicked to the desktop just turn almost everything off in your options.
overall we have critters, well thought out course, apart from the things i mentioned and a tree that is convenientlly placed in front of the tee blocking access unless you hit a pretty good PS, at the 3rd this course is very nicelly laidout, and is fun to play.
