Great job done on this course. Plays authentically to the real course, albeit with the suggestion of Hoylake rather than complete reproduction of detail. I believe this method is the best way to produce a good real course in this game.

Back in 2003, the 1st course I ever tried to design was Royal Liverpool, knowing nothing about the CA and using a layout picture from Golf Atlas, the course was never completed. It was turned in to St. Sabastian years later. This summer decided it was time to complete Hoylake. The routing of the holes am using the Open Championship routing. Took all the video from the 2014 Open Championship and cut video files of the computer hole fly overs. Next used the strokesavers yardage guide and YouTube videos of the holes to get a general picture of the course. The entire course was designed from a flat land plot and no terrain assist program was used. The only hole I added a lot of extra yardage was #17, this was to make it play a tad harder, 3 Par 5's on the back 9, well one can go low. Wanted to use the retro Birkdale textures so what I did was took pictures from the 3rd round of the 2014 Open, and matched up colors for fairway, rough and the greens. On this course used old structure sets and ran out of the ability to add more structures cause of the points. Going up the 2nd hole, the town is missing than couldn't use the building I wanted behind the 11th tee. From doing a lot of British Open courses, Hoylake is not the best, hardest, or even the most interesting, but it has a cool atmosphere. Royal Liverpool does have some really cool holes and a unique design you only get on old British seaside links courses.
