Wow this course is so close to being an all-time great. The bunker work is really good. The course matches pretty much to the real thing. Here is how you fix that texture problem. You create a duplicate texture which matches the texture which is causing the point problem. Than you go through the course using both textures in places. That way you spread out the points. Each texture can only handle so many points and once it maxes out you get clear textures. Maybe even doing this with a bunker texture also would help.

These Whistling Straits have some dangerous curves on their winding fairways, especially that snaky 5th. Quite a peppering of bunkers, too - all of which could come into play in high winds. But the trap I fell into a coupla times was allowing for a little backspin on my approach shots, only to see my ball roll on over the back of the green. No room for complacency here - great stuff, guys...

It was a bit of a rush job tbh! Still a reasonable representation! C:

A few comments here (assuming this is a rerelease of my course):

1. There are some invisible textures on the back 9. Generally you see them in the distance but I don't believe they come into play at any point. I tried for a very long time to get those out and it was just not possible due to the shear amount of elevation change throughout the entire course.

2. Regarding the coast line: The course is so long in one direction that it literally goes from the very top of the architect window to the very bottom. This made it virtually impossible to get an accurate looking shoreline. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a course created with the CA that accurately portrays a lake or ocean coastline the way it should. I tried using an actual lake texture instead of an ocean texture but that caused the course to crash because of the amount of water on the course.

3. This file was created in 2003 and has been revised through several different versions of the Tiger Woods game. During the last revisions, my intent was to accurately replicate the playable areas of the course, rather than all the other visual aspects. I understand that it would be ideal to have a perfect replica, but I think this is as close as you are ever going to get, short of someone spending months and months and months on a new project. This is my favorite course in the world and I hope I was able to do it justice.

Many thanks for releasing this course, I enjoyed playing it. Just one small item - has anyone else noticed invisible textures on holes 11 and 13?

tripel43, if you Google Earth Search for: Whistling Straits GC, Sheboygan, Wisconsin, you will see that the course does sit along the western edge of Lake Michigan and 13 of the holes are situated on or close enough to see Lake Michigan. Nice place for a cool dip during the summer months. ed

course looks fantastic guys, 5 stars if ratings were on.

RobC and I agreed that this should be released this week for the PGA Championship, it hasn't been updated since 2010 but should give golfers a good run for their money on extra dry greens
