For the few who still use the architect, is there a solution for the plot shadows rendering in the distance?

It's normally not a problem on ocean or pond textures because they render over any shadows, but I have to use a custom water texture to get the waves, but its means the shadows are visible out on the ocean which looks bad (see pic)

The only solution I've got so far is to just throw some islands out there. It wasn't the plan, but it manages to camouflage the shadows a little.

This looks like a similar problem. This is a raised view from the 7th hole. The shadow appears over the start of the 8th fairway. It doesn''t appear when you play the 8th hole. If I pan the view to the left there is another shadow which appears to be a mirror image of the large on in the picture. Maybe I can screen part of it with some trees.

I started removing holes from the TCA as I reckoned it was on of the shapes that was being turned into the shadow, but that didn''t help. I then removed everything except the 7th hole. I then flattened a big circle where I though the offending shadow was and I got this. As you can see the shadow has gone but the circle shape has been mirrored on the right side of the pic. I think it''s a flaw in the course architect programme and this fault probably can''t be fixed. I''ll try to hide it as best I can as I''m too far into the course to just bin it.

Edit...Just to satisfy my curiosity I flattened the whole of the course and the shadow disappeared.
