Love the course. USGA kind of screwed you by adding all the rough in between holes that you couldn't have known about from maps available, but I prefer it the way you have it. Only question is on 11 green. What happened with the pins there? 17 pins on the front half of the green, nothing anywhere on the back half?

No matter how many things I tried the APCD wouldn’t let me plant pins further than halfway on the green. I tried a number of tricks and nothing worked, causing a number of crashes. It was due to the extreme length of the par 3

It should work to plant pins at any range for par 3 holes. Move the "Center of Tee" point temporarily closer to the green before planting the pins, then plant all the pins, then move the "center of tee" point back and finally plant all the tees.

Thanks but I tried that and it consistently crashes the APCD

Thanks, figured there was a specific reason. Great work again.

How about just making just making those "baranca" areas where you've "manufactured" the sand a penalty area?

Play it where it lies

I just played round 1 in my tournament while watching the Pros - what a great experience! Almost felt like I was there! Wonderful job on the course, Glenn. I shot 2 under - RTS.

Thanks Pete, nice round

Try this for hole 11:

Define the hole to be about 260-270 yards. "center of tee" will be short of the desired back tee but "center of green" should be placed properly to get the proper scorecard yardage. Plant the tees and pin positions. This all needs to be done in a single APCD session since it uses the longer than standard 250 yard distance and cannot be moved after.

It seems like the "center of green" distance to the tees is capped at 300 yards and the "center of tee" distance to the pins is also capped at 300 yards, but if you define the hole shorter you can "cheat" to allowable distances to get over the 300 yards necessary.
