About to start my second course. Took me forever to finish the first and haven't jumped back into it in a while so I am coming back to this series for a refresher and some inspo! Thanks, Crazy C First course: Carlsbad Ranch
Just to add what crazycanuck said with the add pins. When you add pins position for second pin you do NOT have to exit back to menu to add third and fourth pins. Not a big deal to exit back to menu but it saves a few seconds and you know that that is what you are adding without risking clicking on the wrong thing.
My first real course i built in 2019 was Redwood canyon and its good but exactly like you said gotta get some practice in. My second and third(San Ramon Golf club & San Jose Muni) are amazing and pretty darn good. I like to build my home courses with a PGA twist! Stadium courses! i will be updating them to 2k21 very soon
Great video, love the pace and tone you make awesome videos. Loving the content as I really struggled to understand TGC 2019 looking forward to purchasing this game.
For Pin Placement: USGA rules state that the pin must be placed in an area where the ground is as level as possible with a uniform grade. This of course doesn't mean flat - it just means not in an area with a heavy slope where the ball will roll after coming to a stop. I'd suggest leaving a minimum of 2 yds. from any severe slope otherwise you'll have people swearing at you. As a general rule according to the PGA, the pin placement should be 12' or 4 yds from the edge of the green. And play test... play test... play test.
Will you eventually be doing things like adding aesthetic stuff such as roads, cartpaths, driving ranges, practice putting greens, parking lots, etc? A lot of that stuff seems to be giving me more issues that creating the playable part of the course lol.
Thank You for explaining what all the available designing options are that the game offers. I never could understand what mirror handles did. A bug I found in TGC2019, when laying down greens and then placing your pins, when trying to level your pin placement to make the pin legal, (all nine squares, the tic tac toe box around the pin are green in color), the grid pattern of the green when scuplting did not match the grid pattern when playtesting. Do you know if this bug has been fixed with the new game? I preordered the game, unfortunately, I won't get it before August 25, but I saved $10.00 on the preorder cost. Thanks again, I do appreciate the time and effort you put forth in these tutorials.
It's kind of surprising that they didn't catch that bug with the raised landscape before this game was released. Have you found any more since then? Did they say when they were going to release the patch? One question for you, when importing from the previous game, does it take into account the previous object count? The reason I ask is that a fair number of the courses I did had the object meter maxed out?
Always wanted to use the course designer in Golf Club games. After watching you do this...I am running out to buy the game. HB Studios should give you a percentage!!! This is awesome man.
@crazycanuck1985 You mentioned tracing tools to use to create local courses. I have looked all over and cannot find anything other than google maps measuring tool. Is this what you are talking about or are there better tools that you can reference? Thanks!!!
SwingU app will give you a pretty accurate layout of almost every course you could play. My problem is I want to make a flat course then add hills and all that as I create each of my holes for my local course but that’s literally impossible
ive been told by people while streaming tgc a while back that greens that size are too large. it drives me absolutely nuts when ppl tell me this and yet i watch other designers do the same. just as you say it my preference on how i want me course to look. you see the games green are small, medium and large throughout the game so why cant i do the same. ive learned some people just want something to complain about. thanks for the videos though. got me back in the designing courses again.
Hello, I just created my own golf course and I’m happy with how it came out!…. The only issues were the pin positions. So, I was changing the set 1 for each and every hole. But, for some reason some pins were on different holes…Example: pin of the hole number 4 on the 6th green and viceversa…also the 7th with the 8th… I tried to move the pins to their respective holes…But it doesn’t allow me to do so. Could you please explain how to solve this matter? Thanks
Correct me if I’m wrong, but does the top right corner not indicate in inches how much the landscape is being raised? Obviously it would be much nicer to have in the middle of the screen but it looks like the inches are working in the top right corner
Is there a way to reuse a green for multiple holes like at St. Andrews and some other links style course? I can place a pin for another hole on a green I’ve already built, but the game designer doesn’t seem to recognize the hole very well.
Does anyone know of a way to get the long fescue look, á la Oakmont/shinnecock/ Chicago GC. It takes up so much plant space, but there’s gotta be a way to pull something like that off right
Is there a way to make the fringe and the fairway one distinct cut/color? Such that the fringe and fairway are the same and the fairway flows right into the green?
is this your typical flow? like green then fairway then tee? does it matter or is it easier one way vs another? the problem i have when trying to design courses is my vision never transfers to the course. hoping this series will help me with that.
This is my general workflow, but it really doesn't matter. I love backwards design. Start with where you want the golfer to get to, and work backwards from there!
Love the content CC... when you get to bunkers, please could you try to create a links style bunker with a deep layered turf face. I couldn’t suss how to do it in TGC2019, so resorted to adding retaining walls and fences with long grasses to try and make them links style... also beaches I find difficult.. 👍
Unfortunately, making true pot bunkers in this game that you describe isn't possible. There are some ways of "faking it" but I'm not comfortable enough with that technique to do a tutorial on it at this time.
Been waiting on this...any suggestions on best way flatten large area? Would you use raise and lower ground as well as the sculpt Edit: 4th Page Brush! THANK YOU
Great videos, thanks for posting. Question, can I design a course on my PC but play it on Xbox? I struggle a bit with the navigation on Xbox in the design a course section. Feel it would be easier for me on my PC.
@crazycanuck1985 thanks so much for the tutorials bud, youve been such a help in the past and its great to have some new vids. I built my course Swizz Alps Country Club with help from your tutorials and am super proud of it!
I am hoping you might be able to help me. I'm freaking out now, as I have spent MANY hours creating a new course on PGA 2k21's Course Creator. I accidently deleted the pin on Hole 18. Now I have zero pins on the green. For hours, I have been going through all the options on Course Creator to create a new pin for the 18th--as there are no options to "Add Pin" when zero pins exist for a hole (which I accidently made happen by inadvertently deleting the 18th Pin). There are other Green options on the hole, but pin creation is not one of them. (You can add a pin on a hole when there is already one--but there is no option to Add Pin if one doesn't exist at all). I really don't want to delete the hole entirely--as it intersects over water, with a creation made in that body of water that affects another hole (and would also be deleted).
@@Crazycanuck1985 Well some good news, and yet a lot of not so good... I actually FOUND the pin--and it wasn't deleted! However, it is sitting just off the 2nd hole fairway. Whenever I try to move it back to hole 18, it moves itself back to the 2nd green (even though it has an 18 on the flag). So then, I tried to create a second pin for the 18th flag, and move that one to the 18th hole. When I do this, that flag on the 18th green will have the number 2 for the second hole. I can't get the one marked 18 to go where it belongs and keep that number 18. As far as deleting the 18th green, I couldn't do that by itself. I also even tried building a "new 18th green" on top of the old one, but still didn't matter. Any suggestions? And I thank you tremendously for your help... and responding so quickly!!
@@Crazycanuck1985 The grid lines show up when I created a green for hole one. The lines were not showing up on a putting green I created by the club house. Not sure if this is normal or intended but definitely not a show stopper. Does your grid lines show up even when hovering over fairway or other terrain?
@@Nate-mp4mf ah, grid lines will only show up when you are creating a hole. If you made a putting green that is just for aesthetic purposes, grid lines won't show.
@@Crazycanuck1985 Thanks, love your videos by the way. You earned a Sub. If you are curious to review a course built by a first time creator and pupil of your tutorial videos, check out the replica of my hometown 9 hole course I created on xbox (I spent a ton of time on it but had a blast). Name of course is Swan Lake Country Club.
1. Make a coastline using any brush that makes a steep cutoff 2. Go to the brushes on the bottom of page 3 for flatten and use any of those to make it look rugged 3. (Optional) flatten out an area between the water and the cliff at about 7 inches above water and fill with bunker

Wow this is going to help me loads.....thank you so much

cc you make it so easy to learn this. ive done a few so far .
love you videos, great pace, v helpful, thank you!!

Immediately called out for trying to build my home course first lmao
Can you show how to do a tiered green or will it be in the 201 series or just briefly explain how?
I've just watched clip on starting to build the green. A bit lost as to why you put down 4 pin placements?. Sorry if stupid question still very new
How do you find courses people made and download them?
You dont need to download them. There is a search option inside the game, if you know the name, search and hit play
Go to local match and you can click on trending to see the most popular made-up courses or search for specific ones

its a tad unrealistic tho (warning)
I’m waiting for course design 201 lol
How do you do any of this with a keyboard and mouse, can't figure out how to raise or lower landscape.
why when I close and fill the green does it sink the green down?
Need help here. Whenever I create/add hole it automatically creates the fairways and greens. How do I fix that so it’s just adds tee box and hole???
Go back to episode 1!
Do you suggest always creating the green first?
not necessarily. It's how I like to work though.
I play on ps4 and my grind lines dont show up when i sculpt my green I need help!!
When doing fine adjustments, would it be better/easier (on PC) to use mouse and keyboard?
Not necessarily, Ive been doing just fine with a controller for years.
canuck what society should i join with other course designers
I’m having an issue? When I create a hole I can’t seem to find away to make the other 2 tee boxes without making another hole? Please anyone ?
Got it.. thanks 🙏

This might be odd, but I am using metric measurements and the bug doesn’t seem to be there as I can go up in .cm
How did you get metric? I've got feet and yards
In your game settings you can change to metric or hybrid.
how do you get the grid lines to show up? my green does not show grid lines at all.
Hmm...maybe check in your settings? You might have turned them off by default. Mine are on all the time.
@@Crazycanuck1985 The grid lines show up when I created a green for hole one. The lines were not showing up on a putting green I created by the club house. Not sure if this is normal or intended but definitely not a show stopper.

Sir you go thru the settings so fast even when starting and stopping i cant follow SLOW DOWN
Highly recommend you play around in the designer and get a feel for the menus before you watch the videos. They will be much more beneficial.
anyone know how to make a cliff course like pebble
1. Make a coastline using any brush that makes a steep cutoff
2. Go to the brushes on the bottom of page 3 for flatten and use any of those to make it look rugged
3. (Optional) flatten out an area between the water and the cliff at about 7 inches above water and fill with bunker
Great but doesn't show how to publish the design
Hit start, then publish.
Can you create my home course if I paid you??
I’d like to play the courses you have designed. Can you give me some names?
I've ported a few over yesterday. Ace High Golf Club, The Kermode Club, Salish Ridge Golf Club, Avery, The Rock, Pacific Spirit Golf Club
@@Crazycanuck1985 When you port 2019 courses and re-publish, do you still have the same amount of playthroughs and likes on it?

Can you make a golf course for me please
Second
Can I just pay you to make a course for me lol
Ha, nah, I don't really do that unless the price is right! The fun is building it yourself once you get the hang of it.
