I am thinking of trying to design my home course for me and my son to practise on.I have downloaded the course architect 2006. Is this what most of you guys use?

I am a beginner so just a basic course outlay will suffice.

Thanks.

Julie, i will send you message with help

Really seems like the real thing.

What can I say? Kens the best! A great update for 06. This course is visually stunning, especially 12! The greens are killer though, I felt lucky to shoot 75 the first time.

This course plays like I imagined it would. What a fantastic job. Those greens are killers :-)

I believe Im misunderstanding something here.

I downloaded the library files and the Augusta 06 course, but I dont see two things:

1. The instructions say to create a cls folder and put the cls file in it. I dont see a cls file in anything that I downloaded.

2. I dont see a course file in anything that I downloaded.

Ive installed courses before, but maybe I only recognize one way to do it. Im using CL setup to install.

Can someone please give some guidance? What am I missing or misunderstanding?

Thanks!

I think that Augusta National is one of the most beautiful courses in the world and I think that you captured that beauty in your rendition. You did a great job !!

Dont often get excited. But this version has me well gone.

Superb version plays like a dream just like the real thing.

Best course I have played on 2k6, 2k5 and 2k3.

One slight glitch on tee screen on 18th have a black line across screen
near top.

Has no effect on anything however

Just looks odd.

Also its only on this hole

Once again great course

For those having trouble getting the course to run, have you downloaded and installed the Course Architect program from the EA Sports web site? There are Architect Libraries that come bundled with that program that are needed for many custom courses. We recommend that everyone download and install that program even if you are not going to ever design a course just because those bundled libraries are needed for almost every custom course that comes out. Have you looked in our forums in the Tutorial/FAQ area on how to properly install downloaded courses/libraries?

There is nothing wrong with the course on this site. Just look at the download numbers and you will see that a huge number of people have downloaded the course and are having no problem getting it to run. So it is not a problem with the files on our site. If the steps are properly followed to install your course and library files and if you have the Architect Libraries from the 06 Course Architect installed, the course will run just fine.

gr8 looking place....prefer the previous versions....just seemed bland....cant concur with the others...this place needs tons of more color/augusta flowers...played smooth, just not Augusta enough

I can only echo what others have been sayingabsolutely beautiful, Ken! Ive always looked for your Augusta courses since back in the PGA days. As usual, a Master-ful job!

Wow. Ive never seen so many comments on one course before...

This is a great version. Not only does it look fantastic, but it plays really well and much like the real thing...like Id know anyway. The best feature is the greens. Yes, theres a bit of a rendering problem with the texture, but they are so realistic on vdry! If you hit a nice high 9 iron, but in the wrong spot, its gone! Just like you see happen to the pros on TV. If you havent tried vdry yet, you have to!

Great to see the Master of course design releasing another superb rendition of Augusta. :) We appreciate all of your hard work Ken!

Great design, great work, thanks for your time and efforts Ken.

Ken, I was able to reproduce the shot by practicing hole one several times. Heres a link for the replay:

Unlike how my first round here went, this beauty played very smoothly indeed!
I found the front 9 the toughest and did better on the back (which is my favorite 9 :) )
Nice one Ken!!

Here ya go:

Ken,

First time I loaded it for a quick 3 holer, AND IM STANDING ON THE 11TH TEE!! Amen corner on the first try, just wonderful!

Only question I have is that my flag seems to have the Masters logo on only half way. Am I the only one like that?

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. I expect a lot with Ken, and I was never the less surprised at how playable, accurate, and beautiful the course is. If you download one course this year, make it this one (after you download mine that is.....lol). Seriously, wonderful job!!

Files in appropriate places.

C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06\Courses\Augusta 06

Make a folder named Augusta 06 and place everything there with the exception of the cls file. The cls file will allow you to see galleries. Make a folder named cls and place as a sub folder i.e

C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06\Courses\Augusta 06\cls

Place the cls file in the cls folder.

Go to your Course Utility and add what you can i.e. splash screen ect. in the Properties dialog

OR just use Jorgens CLTool for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06

Get it here: http://web.telia.com/~u85417550/

NOTE: The Augusta 06 (KM) library is a new library created by Ken McHale for this version of Augusta, not to be confused with the Augusta 2006 library put out earlier this year. This library will show up as Augusta 06 when loaded.
