Yes......... and , no, Coach. 08 custom courses are created using the Course Architect program that came with the '06 game, so to design for 06,07, or 08, you'll need a copy of the '06 edition of the game ( the Course Architect is included with the 06 version of the game).

No Course architect 08 (CA08) in TW08, so you will have to use course architect 06.
To install course architect 06 on your PC you will have to install TW06 game on your PC first.
After that you will be able to install CA06.
First it is good idea to add some TW08 stock libraries to TW06 game:
You will have to use at least 1 TW08 stock library, and this way your course will be classified as TW08 custom course.
go to path below:
C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\Courses
inside each TW08 stock course folder you will find the required stock library.
Right click on library file...and copy and paste to desktop.
When finished you will have 14 stock libraries on your desktop. Now install 1 or more TW08 stock libraries in TW06 game with CLsetup06.
Now you will be able to use TW08 stock libraries to create TW08 course with CA06.

Adding Panos:
Tw07 and TW08 created panos will work in TW08 game:
You can find panos in Library section TW07and TW08.
Dont use Panos from previous years (TW06, TW05, TW04 etc...), they will not show up very well in game.
You will see TW07 Pano is floating in CA06(and in TW06 game) but that is no problem, when course is compiled , pano will show up very nice in TW08 game.

Another great tool you can use is: Cloaking tool 06.
With Cloaking tool you can cloak (disable) libraries in CA06.
(CA06 can only handle 30 or 40 libraries, so when you have +30 libraries in TW06 game you will need the Cloaking Tool.
Note: Tw08 stock libraries are very big sized files this year, so you will have to cloak a lot of libraries.


IMPORTANT:
A new change this year is how courses are selected from within the game. All courses will now REQUIRE a logo.dds file to be present. To know how logos look in TW08 game, you can go to TW08 stock course folder, and inside you will find Logo.dds file.You can copy logo.dds file of TW08 stock course, edit the file and add it later in your TW08 custom course.
You will also have to add a text file. (required)

Also the splash screen logo has changed in size again this year.
Please upload splash file in.TGA format (targa), when splash is uploaded as .dds format CLsetup will give error message.
In section: Utilities....you can download TW08 splash+logo template.
Flag files remain the same as in the past and all old flags and flag templates should work with no problem.

You can download CA06 + Cloaking tool06 on this site:
Go to section: Utilities....TW06 section....Course design tools

Note: When you are using VISTA:
You can t compile course with windows vista
To compile your course you will have to use windows: XP
