No, still being tested. As far as I know, it's still planned for release upon Retail Release of PG.

[Mick-S]

seems like a few more have been chosen to test, and although I asked been overlooked again.

[Mike Jones]

No-one is being overlooked Mick patience is key

I think I might be more excited about CourseForge's release than I am PG

Course is mapped out on terrain from nearby plot of land created in unity - ready to go!

[IanK]

I don't think it works quite like that.

Yes I know..  but planning is fun too. No doubt will have to recreate everything in CF when the time comes.

Start learning Unity 5 if you haven't already because CF isn't a stand alone program.

All I did was get Unity 5 and then just started laying out some practice holes. Import a few textures.... I'm an APCD designer so I've got a bunch. I took a set from a finished course, changed them to .jpg files and then brought them in. You don't even need to worry about mapping/scaling whatever right away.

 

You just paint in the shapes like in an art program and them use the elevation brushes. It's quite intuitive once you get into it. It's kind of an intimidating program when you first open it up, but you learn eventually.

 

I don't have CF just yet, but essentially it's just an extension of Unity - you work in the Unity program and the CF is like a fancy plug-in that creates a whole set of extra toolbars for you to use that are golf course specific.
