Would be nice to have designers post, in a special thread, the courses they are working on.

That way everyone would know what is coming (hopefully) and other designers would not be working on the same course.

 

There's one on OGT they can use.

Unfortunately I will be enduring a brief hiatus on this project as my pc has decided to give up on me.  Fortunately I have backed the project up and I now have a nice new pc on order, which will arrive in the next 7 days (hopefully to coincide with the upgraded CF?? hint, hint  ;) )

I've gone back to Cypress Point in recent days... 

 

No ETA on this yet, but I'm happier with it now that I've given myself a small amount of artistic licence, so work is progressing quite swiftly (for now!)

As with all your work garynorman, I love the natural color choices. Particularly, the second photo.

That cypress is a challenge but it may be a limitation of your tools and not your talents.

Crow, garynorman can chime in but from what I've seen available, it's an optimized version of the "Monterey Cypress" made by Speedtree.

Yep, all of the cypress trees are a variant of the original speedtree version.  I wouldn't even know where to start with making one of those!

Great work, Gary!

I have very little hope of ever playing Cypress IRL so your creation offers me the hope of playing a real course that is also a fantasy course for me. 

Really looking forward to playing this unique course!!!

Looks great.  I'm not sure I'm going to have the time to play all of the great courses.

Inspired by Gary's beautiful holes at Cypress Point, I've been reading up on the course and its creation. Apparently, the job of designing and building the course was originally given to Seth Raynor (long-time associate of C.B. Macdonald), who produced the original routing but died before construction could begin. After Raynor's death, Alister MacKenzie was commissioned to build the course, but it's not clear how much of CP is an original MacKenzie design and how much it followed Raynor's original routing. In most accounts, Raynor is not even mentioned as contributing to the course, but there was apparently an early routing map from Raynor that is similar in many ways to MacKenzie's final design, and photos from before Raynor's death show stakes for tees and greens on several of the back 9 seaside holes that suggest that MacKenzie did pay attention to Raynor's original routing - even though full routing credit is usually given to MacKenzie alone. (Check out the discussion of these controversies on golfclubatlas.com if you want to dig deeper into the history of the creation of CP.)

 

The more I learn about CP, the more interesting this course becomes. Gary, I hope your work on CP goes smoothly and proves to be both enjoyable and rewarding.

I have the book by Geoff Shackelford 'Alister Mackenzie's Cypress Point Club'. Hundreds of black and white photos of the course just after construction and a personal inspiration to me everytime I forget why I love golf and Golf course architecture!

 

Looking great Gary and the trees are looking suitably gnarly.
