It is great to see Ballyhack get to completion! I have been looking forward to this one for a while as the DEM was one of my first that I completed. Great layout over an interesting terrain!
The error that seems to come up from time to time sounds like a reflective water issue. Sage, try turning off the reflective surface for the stream texture.

I prefer the first beta so far. The tee texture is different for the second beta and the seam blend texture properties are messed up. The course has a great look with the textures and planting.
Who did the greens and which green books were used? A lot of work went into those greens! I haven't had a chance to have a deep look at the course yet but I did notice a few places where the LIDAR derived contours would have been slightly different.
Hi Linkster,
1st, thanks for noting the issues you raised.
I fixed all the texture issues I could find.
Glenn Braden did the green contours................as always a great job.....
Let's see what happens now...................
I apologize for not bringing this up sooner and if it's already been brought up, but I"m way behind checking out all these new courses. Anyway, I had a group of 8 AI players on Ballyhack and on hole 9 from the back tees it looks like the ball is a super bounce ball being hit in a pinball machine. As soon as the player hits it off the tee it starts bounding in several directions.
I will say that it only happened to 4 out of the 8, but the other 4 severely altered their club selection to avoid whatever invisible object is in the way. The alternate club choice was an iron off the tee box on a par 5 so they hit it way short of the fairway down into a ravine on the right, but they did avoid the pinball machine. One player chose a 3 wood instead of driver and avoided the invisible obstacle and hit it in the fairway.
Just thought I'd let you know. If I have an old version and you've already fixed this then I apologize as well. I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you didn't know about it.
Strange. I played the course many times and also hosted a tournament there and no one encountered a problem there. If it hasn't already been fixed, it's going to be hard to find it. Hopefully somebody will save the shot.
will try a whole round soon but looking good
