Will course forge be able to handle a 36 hole plot. I have come up with the idea and plan to create a 36 hole golf course equipped with 6, 6 hole courses inspired by 6 different designers. The course will be designed a real piece of land roughly 375 acres that I have found. The idea is to do the following...

Pete Dye

- use of railroad ties
- target golf
- large mounds
- unique bunkering

Donald Ross

- undulated green complexes
- turtle back greens
- small greens
- natural looking and flowing design

Tom Fazio

- long fair golf holes
- unique bunkering
- elevation changes

Coore/Crenshaw

- natural flow
- bunkering and grasses used in unison
- mounding and undulating greens

Jack Nicklaus

- severely undulating greens
- framed holes
- forced carries
- steep bunkers

Alister Mckenzie

- large severely undulated greens
- severe uphill and downhill holes
- finger bunkers

The holes will only be designed to their characteristics not actual copies or replicas of already designed holes

The short answer is: no.

THEN AGAIN

You could get quite near your goal already, because, in theory, you should be able to do something similar.

BUT

You will need a huge terrain with very high resolution (4097) to accommodate all the holes. The bigger the plot, the more intense the demand for high-end performance. 36 holes means a double work load for your graphics card.

AND

You will need to duplicate your terrain to plant two 18 hole courses on it. CF, afaik, only lets you lay out 18 holes, meaning that using the same base terrain you would need to build two different courses. You may actually draw splines for all the 36 holes and all but create the plot with everything required in it, but the planting of tees, shot points and flags is (currently) restricted to 18 holes.

SO

you might as well build two different 18 hole courses to begin with.

 

But I admire your ambition and your concept. Where there's a will, there's a way. And enabling CF to design 9, 18, 27, 36 hole courses and resorts (also enabling PG to allow for an in-game selection of which configurations to play for an 18 hole round), strikes me as a sensible feature request.
