Ok, sorry for the long post/rant - I've put a number of things in motion and want to get my ducks in a row for my next builds. I have started on a "Custom 18" course with hole ideas from the community but I do think that it will take me some time, assuming I ever get to finishing it.... I have started it but I'm not super happy with the results yet and again have no plans on releasing something I'm not happy with, so it will churn a bit.
In the meantime, I wanted to throw out a number of ideas from recent polls and have you all vote to make sure that I'm working on what YOU want next. I feel like my courses of late have really raised the bar and I DO NOT want to disappoint.... Wolf Creek and Tot Hill Farm, Pumpkin Ridge, Alotian, Raven, Lava Links, Shinnecock, Teks Treasure, Promontory, Kukio oh my! There's really a lot to love there. I definitely feel like my designs are simply better when I love the course that we are building and it suits well for Sim golf. Even a course like Blue Lakes, I ramped that course up from reality and it really helped make it something special vs. the original. So, to continue this trend I want to love what I'm releasing for you, chosen by you, but I will be aggressive in ruling out courses that I feel are a bit blah or don't fit well for sim golf. With so many courses in GSPro, I want each of ours to feel like a standout.
That's part of why I haven't finished the Pete Dye River course, it's just been hard to go back to that course and others that don't tend to inspire me. I'd almost rather go back to the top courses in the world list and start there or even look to re-build courses if the original designer is ok with it, like Wolf Creek. I'm very happy I took that one on.
Some courses are in others queue to be designed but I plan to have discussions with some of those designers as well where I see fit, and where enough time has gone by and no progress. So, stay tuned for more info there.
TLDR - Here's a bit of a summary poll though to make sure that my next course is again (as someone has put it here prior) another BANGER!! If you aren't seeing courses that were previously in the list it just means they didn't get many votes prior and we all want the very best! To be totally honest, I think these would all be great and would set up a path for my next 4/5 releases. Just need to know the order to get started on and if any are super low in polling leave them out.
As always, I welcome your feedback and appreciate you all!
