Sage, I know you didn't "formally" upload the beta for this course to the course listings on LC, but I hope you don't mind my downloading it, and checking it out. Personally, I think your texture / color choices are beautiful ! VERY natural looking. As I played my first round, I noticed that when on the tee, I thought.....wait this looks like it could be another par 5, and sure enough there are 3 on the front alone. I think if you choose the right sky and dial up the wind conditions a little, it'll will seem like you're almost there ! It's quite a long course for a public venue. I enjoy the routing, and lake holes ( of course I realize that's not your design .....but, just sayin' ). I also hope that you find someone to design a 3D clubhouse for this excellent course. I went to the course website, and it looks like the building is very nice, and it would sure add a great touch.
Can't wait for the final. Great job.....................Ron
