Many congratulations to Brian Silvernail, the winner of this years Golf Digest's 'armchair architect' award! 

 

Brian used CourseForge to help him design and visualise his entry to the contest and was kind enough to grant us an interview which I will post in here shortly. Meanwhile here is the link to his winning entry which will actually get built in 2017.

Oh wow, there's a name from the past.

Screenshots of Rolling Evergreen made me go out and buy JN5 the next day.

There's a Golf Course Atlas thread with construction photos of the whole course; I've linked it in the interview thread. A screenshot of the 14th done in Course Forge makes an appearance.
