I will try best best to make it look something like. Some trees may not be totally accurate and I've added some to mask where the clubhouse and estate buildings were. I will be attempting the driving range, as it is right by the 10th and 15th and impossible to really hide, and also quite distinctive.

It's taken me almost a week to replant what I'd already done. It would have been done quicker, but my dad was rushed into hospital last Tuesday with a heart attack, and the next few days were a bit of a blur. He's home and hopefully on the mend now :thumbup:

Here's a few views of the planting so far for holes 1,2,3,4,16,17 & 18.

This one if from above the 2nd tee looking toward 1,17 & 18

All from within APCD, and still needs some under-planting in the woods, and all the bushes that I've marked in.

Hi Stephan-take it from a professional nitpicker-those "extras" are what makes all the difference. I'm nitpicking a couple of Canadian courses right now (remember my old post about Canadian courses?😄😄😄)
Anyway when they finally "go public" you'll understand.
BTW I'm always available to nitpick real courses. :whistle:

More planting has been done. Making sure I save regularly under different names to avoid any more losses.

On to holes 10 to 15 now. I've tried some fern under-planting in the forests, but they just don't look right. Think I may just stick to the wispy grass

Cheers Pete. Have a bit of work to do on a lot of the greens, with only having GE to refer to for elevations, and the flyovers for how they look.

Looking nice. Very natural, and plenty of space to allow for my terrible powerstroke swing! : :laugh: :thumbup:

Last few pictures from APCD before I start trying to tame the greens, and plant some pins. Really worried as some were quite steep with nowhere to really plant anything Mod friendly.
