I would not normally respond to a course in the manner I am but since you appealed to this ladder to use your course I am going to explain why we would not.
First and foremost over 50 % of your tee boxes are uneven. #15 is just crazy uneven. (See pictures) Also your tee markers are all varying colors... one hole they are red the next black...
Your greens are either totally flat, or so overly sloped that they are unplayable. #9 I believe it was actually a bowl??
Land contouring very unrealistic in several places. Especially noticeable in several places on #16 on both sides of the fairway. (See pictures)
Old libraries?? Why use Colonial library for that fall tree when you have a perfectly good fall tree in Central Park a 07 stock? The 04 tree looks awful in the game. On the note of trees all your trees of a like species are the EXACT same height no variation at all. I can understand using an old stock library to get at a bush that is not available in current year (like St Andys 06) but I just dont get the continued use of old libraries.
Staying on trees why so many blocked tee shots with trees?? This is not a problem limited to just you. I shake my head and wonder if when I see designers do this have they ever played real golf?? Also numerous trees placed in fairways as well as other plantings in fairways... this is unrealistic. (See photos)
Some of your structures from the numerous sets you used are scaled way to large. Just unappealing.
I normally never ever publically comment on textures use as it is a totally personal preference. But also this is not limited to just you. But why are designers using 3-4 texture sets this year?? Do they not see how they do not blend?? The fringes you used looks like the outside of a bull eyes.
Maybe it is time you have people beta test your courses before they come out? And if you presently have beta testers you need new ones...
I am sorry to be brutally honest with you and this is just my opinion. But you asked... you have put out a ton of courses this year and it seems to me it is quantity over quality.
The pictures are posted at TWC...
