Here is a monochrome image which has a very slight sepia tint to it. The image is from Dr Robert MIller’s APCD rendition of the course. This seminal example of golf course architecture from the golden age is perfectly suited to black and white.
The hole is the 9th. See the previous post for a stormy color image of the same course.
These images of mine have been hanging around my hard drive for a long time apart from the Bethpage Black image. The color images are quite different to the monochrome images forgetting the obvious difference.
First an image of the clubhouse at Los Joyas (the course a Mike Jones design). It was built by Pat Auge the leading exponent of building 3D structures using APCD. Sadly Pat’s superb structures don’t get anything like the recognition they so richly deserve. The Kauri Cliffs project will extensively feature his work.
Next a different version of an image I posted on the blog previously. It is of the 15th hole at Pacific Breaks designed by Mike Jones. Like the image above it has a the look of a digital painting.
Finally two images of courses designed by Dr Robert Miller. The first is of a storm approaching Shinnecock HIlls. This image had a lot of manipulation using Adobe Lightroom.
And a monochrome image of Bethpage Black. The hole in the foreground is the 17th.
Here is a new image made from an early Mike Jones' fictional course named Crystal Pines.
The intensely dramatic sky dominates the scene.
As always click the thumbnail image for the full size version which is 1400 pixels wide.
Here is the first completed image of Mike Jones’ Pilgrim Trails.
The image began life as a multi-layered PSD file in Adobe Photoshop and many hours later this is the final result. The sepia tint is an important part of the olde world look the image has. A hint of grain it has I have added on purpose.
Click the image to see it in it’s full size in a new window. It isn’t meant to be viewed just as a thumbnail image.
I’m currently working on a new digital image from Mike Jones fictional course Pilgrim Trials. This is a layout inspired by the classic Coore – Crenshaw design called Old Sandwich.
The image is still in the they very early stages so no sneak peeks of it just yet. It is currently a multi layered PSD file. Mike Jones has done more work to another image of Pilgrim Trails that I created earlier today. T
he final result is here at his blog.
I will also be doing a couple of new images of Dr Robert Miller’s 3D visualization of Bethpage Black.
Here are some images from fictional golf courses all designed by Mike Jones. Mike is golf course visualization specialist who works with top golf course designers in the real world. With his kind permission these images of his courses by myself are presented here at Driving the Green.

These images where originally extensively edited in Photoshop when they were in color. The new versions have had even more work on them as have all the images in this post.
These two images are of a design that was inspired by the courses of Ireland. The first image is of the first hole the other is of the 7th hole. The bottom image with an approaching storm looks much more dramatic in monochrome than it does in color.
This is the most complex image of those shown here which is actually four images composited and then carefully blended together in Photoshop. The golf hole part of the image was extensively manipulated using a Wacom Tablet. Pacific Breaks is of the style of the famous courses from the Monterey Peninsula region of California.
