As for the amazon rainforest look, I like it. I have an idea behind the map that could be incorporated to explain why it is so secluded:
Perhaps I could put some offshore oil rigs (probably 2), which are owned by wealthy oil companies that built the golf course so they can play when they are checking up on their rigs. Thus, explaining the secludedness of the course. I figure the oil rigs could be attacked by the docks, also, the rigs and the clubhouse could have helipads. This could provide alternative gameplay and make the golf cart depot not so easy to hold.

Why is there oil rigs a golf course?" 2) If the owners of the oil rigs built this for their own personal pleasure, why would there be a clubhouse? Wouldn't they just make a beach house or something like that. Clubhouses are often huge and would be much too extravagant for a simple private golf course. I still think you should cut out a bunch of trees and just make it open grass, and make the fairways criss-cross mowed.
Also, don't put killer neutrals on the roughs. You are starting to add waaaay too many gimmicks with the tees, decay on sand, and the golf cart depot. It is starting to be overloaded.

sorry if thats confusing...

Yea... didn't understand that at all unfortunately. I'm using photoshop.

EDIT: by textures i mean the grass and trees, not the water and beach

Mr. Squirrel wrote:Now that, is a good golf course! In fact, the random spread of trees looks just like the golf course near my house. I like what you did with the club house and golf carts. They look MUCH better than before. The attack lines are much clearer, and the whole map looks brand new. Great update!
Ethitts wrote:I feared people would say that because I did prefer the original texture too. But now when I compare the two I do like version 2's texture more as version 1 looks really dry, whereas version looks more like a luscious, green golf course.
It may be that your just used to version 1? Version 2 texture has really grown on me

Cheers guys, I just made a quick change to the map: The rough patches around the greens are taken away, hopefully that looks a bit tidier.
Mr. Squirrel wrote:Why did you take away the rough? I thought it looked better with it than without. Many courses have a small rough or a grass of different length around the green so that you can tell where the fairway ends and green begins. Why don't you post a picture of both and have people give feedback as to which they like better?

And just because the large works does not mean the small version will not have issues. You have a lot of stuff in there.
I would suggest making the small work before continuing to make sure all of the content will fit.
Image looks great though

I second this. In part because I just tabled an idea for a disc golf map because I saw this.
