Even though Id really like to have a real Japanese course playable in Links (I dont count the Microsoft one), I decided against doing anything with this one (wouldnt have had time to finish something from scratch in months anyways), the course honestly looked very bland to me. Would love to hear if someone else is doing it though :smile:
Finished Courses - Main: Amedal (fictional), Nine Bridges (real)
Other: Austin, Sheshan, Kauri Cliffs, Le Golf Nat. Updates: Whirlpool, Royal Lytham, Royal St George's, Chicago, Chambers Bay, Munchen Nord E
Working on: 2 fictional courses + a couple things...

Jimbo in another discussion a couple months back posted this link to course pros are playing at The Olympics. There is a 2 course complex, east and west with the pros playing the east course. Tom Fazio is noted as the designer and the courses seem to look like the general rolling hills parkland type courses in USA with the usual cuts of grass textures, along with hazards of sand traps, trees and ponds. The MS course Phoenix where remembering for years hosted some tournament known as Dunlop Phoenix and many USA golfers have played in it has strange looking trees, maybe like cypress trees. The Phoenix course is also strange as has what would be considered an extra set of greens designed for winter greens. In discussions about courses that should be considered for possible design in Links the name Hirono has come up and it has been around since 1932.

Right, I think someone had Hirono on their list.
