It may be ocean related, because mine happens over ocean. I'll watch for exceptions, though.

For what it's worth, there were no oceans or ocean textures used in the course I was working on when it was happening to me.

Let me know if this is also your scenario:
See attached pic. One of the first things I did with my course was adjust the outer border verts elevation. In this case I lowered them since it was ocean. However, as you can see from pic, that created a "gap" when viewed in game between the sky and the ocean. I'm thinking this might be causing the issue. Maybe?

I've had this happen with the course I have worked on, and I know that Lez Marwick also observed the issue - he called it a "pink mess." In my experience it occurs exclusively when in practice mode (never in normal play mode) and especially after moving the ball around to various spots to check on how a feature looks after adjusting it in APCD - i.e. moving the ball and rotating view angle multiple times.
It is not related to a pano because it would occur on my course before I even had added a pano.
I don't recall Lez ever finding a root cause, and I don't recall anyone ever complaining about this on a finished course in normal play. The only known occurrences have been with designers working on their course. Therefore I suspect it is not a flaw in the course, or a result of a corrupt pano or sky file.

That's wonderful news! I can breathe a sigh of relief! Thank you.

If you had an occurrence of the red sky, it is random and infrequent. A quick fix is to change the sky. No one has figured out how to fix it.

Yeah I've definitely had it happen outside of practice mode as well, but its rare enough for me that I dont really mind, and as you say we may never find a solution anyway

Can’t remember the course but it was always in the same place, same size, always there when looking in it’s direction. This would make me suspect there is something wrong with a texture. It was a locked course so no hope in examining what may cause the issue.
