The River Course at Blackwolf Run
The real Blackwolf Run is in Kohler Wisconsin in the USA. It is an outstanding design by Pete Dye. Here is a photo of the 18th hole:
I had a look at the unfinished Links 2001 version by Jim Colton in APCD. The course has the shapes and the terrain elevations as well.
The elevations only need fine tuning whilst the golf course shapes seem to be very accurate. So what else is needed to bring this course up to date:
1. A quite a bit of mesh work because for starters the mesh in many places is sparse which is no real problem. Also more mesh is needed to insert the texture blends.
2. The course currently has low resolution 256 x 256 textures. An update to hi-res 1024 x 1024 textures is badly needed.
3. The planting needs to be completed as there is no grass on the course at all.
4. The large clubhouse is merely an untextured shell. This is a large structure which in real life is very distinctive with it’s old world look.
It has the potential to be an outstanding course if it’s ever completed.
Here are some images of the course as it now looks:
The first image is of the 9th hole:
The 13th hole.
I would love to do this course myself but I doubt if I’d have the time to complete it.
[UPDATE:] Myself, Jason and another very distinguished personage are going to finish this course.
