Though i would kick this Topic off so we can share and help each other in designing courses.

Heres a couple of links just to get it started

This site you select a course, select a hole then move the way point to see the yardages

Just gives you an idea thats all

http://www.golfcourselayouts.co.za/

Next one has some videos and course designers

http://geekedongolf....n-tv-and-video/

Top Courses

https://course.blueg...t/top/index.htm

Maybe someone can recommend some books as well and other resources that would help

Also any input on hole layouts how you go about your design process

I usually start out with the ruler first , measure out where 3w lands and the driver then meqsure to the green

Decide to go left or right

Uphill or down hill

Start in the middle of the plot , lay down first hole then go from there

I get some ideas from google images on golf courses to give me some ideas as well as i usually

struggle to get ideas and need some help as it doesnt come easy for me

Thanks

Nice links

Little known fact when King Arthur was trying to make a golf course and he ran into some conflict. King Arthur: There's a peace only to be found on the other side of war. If that war should come I will fight it! Other important fact. Read the Book of John in the Holy Bible.
