New South Wales Golf Club

Hi all

Have decided to post some pix of my work on New South Wales Golf Club. Have been struggling with motivation, haven't worked on it at all this year until a few weeks ago, so thought doing this might help!

Its another Sydney metropolitan course, this one perched above the Pacific Ocean in La Parouse. There are some pretty spectacular ocean holes, so hope I can capture that in my APCD design. This is also another Linkster DEM.

With this course, it is all completely mapped out and textured. Now I just work hole-by-hole and try and fully complete each one before moving to the next. I like to add as much detail as possible and make a genuine attempt about replicating everything I can about the course (or what's possible).

With Royal Sydney, the clubhouse was finished early on in the design. This time, I will leave it to the end. No choice but to build it, because the first tee is right outside the front door. It will take some time but its quite a straightforward 3D build.

(For the best view, right-click the image and open in a new tab).

Not sure about the planting - plenty of time to junk it if needed

Colin, I love the look of the tall grasses ... it doesn't look like the kind of place you'd want to hit a ball into. Beautiful work

Looks good Colin.

I have been waiting for this one since I saw there was a version in the X-box version of Links (and sadly found out there was no way it could be converted to a PC course).

NSW is in a spectacular location, there are 4 courses clustered in the area, with NSW the pick.

Colin,
The textures and the planting look very good, very realistic.
Looking forward to your rendition of the clubhouse.
Ian
