I installed TW 2006.

Where do you download the Course Utilities program?

Also when I saved my own Course (checkmarked tree boxes on export) some of the trees in the game have a black texture. Playing with Graphics settings didn't help.
Is there a library problem?


Thanks for the help!

CourseUtilities.exe in the TW06 bin folder
you can also use Jorgen's CLSetup06
in Utilities,
Course Installation Tools

black textures usually a shader level setting in graphics

Here you can find the bin folder jbcalg is talking about:

C:\Program Files (;x86)\EA Sports\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06\bin (; course utilities is inside )

CLsetup06 is an automatic course installer, a bit easier to use compared with Course Utilities that came with the game.
You can download CLsetup06 here:

On top go to section: Utilities....Utilities and files for TW06.....Course installation tools

When you downloaded and installed CLsetup06 correct, you will find shortcut on your desktop.
When you are using Win7 or Vista:
On desktop right click CLsetup06 icon.....choose: Properties...compatibilty...and on bottom check box: Run as administrator....and hit: Apply

If you have already tried setting the shader level to low in the graphics and the trees are still black then it could be a library issue. What libs are you using for the trees, if you use libs from the stock 2008 courses you should not have any problems.

I am using the Tiger Woods 2006 game.
I picked trees from a few courses like TPC. They are all black and some have like merged the bushes I laid down onto the tree branches, it's weird.... lol
Why do the regular courses work fine(on max settings too)?



Thanks again!!!!

The custom courses are much tougher to render for your system, compared with the stock courses.
Looks like a graphics card problem, maybe you are using a laptop with a graphic chipset.
Graphic chipsets are not as strong as a seperate graphics card.
This is what you can try:
Install a few TW06 custom courses, and look if you have the same problem on the other custom courses.

I installed a couple other custom course like Augusta National and they all work fine.
My Laptop is- 2.9ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4mb of ram, Nvidia Dedicated Graphics card with 512mb on it.

Really confused by this?

I will send you a PM with my email address and if you want to you can send me a copy of your course .tca file. I will see if I can spot the problem.

From the course file you emailed I have discovered what the problem is. I think that you are compiling the course in Windows 7 and it will not compile correctly in Windows 7. You need to compile the course in Windows XP. I tried compiling in Windows 7 and the trees do not work, however once compiled in Windows XP they are OK. When I originally switched over to Windows 7, I was still able to use my older PC which had XP on it to compile courses. I have now managed to get XP running as a virtual machine on my Windows 7 PC, but to do this I think that you need Windows 7 Professional or higher to download the software from Microsoft​. You might find this website useful

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7.

If you are unable to get XP to compile your courses a request on the forum will always find you a helpful compiler. Enjoy your future course designing.
