Another gem from Quietly, not overly difficult with its wide fairways but filled with more “world premieres”, such as rivers flowing by, cars and trucks passing by on overhead highways, making it tough to remain concentrated on your approach shots to reach the (often) undulating greens, guarded by well-placed bunkers.
If the opening right dogleg par-4 1st hole is nice, with a river running all along the fairway on the right and also flowing across, midway (and over which you will have to hit your elevated approach to reach the green, set to the right), wait until you face the right dogleg par-4 2nd hole, and its... traffic on the highways on the left behind the green : simply unbelievable !
I also like the pretty par-3 4th hole, with the river (on the left) flowing across the fairway midway and with a wide L-shaped bunker in front of the green, and the left dogleg par-4 6th, with a tee shot over the river and plenty of bunkers lined up further on both sides of the fairway.
Then, after the straight par-4 8th hole, with a serpentine path crossing the fairway and a dry riverbed on the right (with nice villas and a couple of swimming pools on the left), you will finish the front 9 with a long left dogleg par-5 hole, with two shots over the winding river crossing the fairway in order to reach the green.
On the back 9, my favorite holes are the left dogleg par-5 12th, with a second shot over the river crossing the fairway, not too far from the green, guarded by a wide puzzle-shaped bunker on the right, and the short (around 330 yards) and risky par-4 14th, with an undulating green hard to reach as it is set between a small lake on the left and bunkers on the right.
The par-4 16th hole is quite scenic, with two lakes next to each other (on the right) and a slightly-elevated and undulating green (a little bit to the right), and so is the par-3 17th, with its fairway surrounded all along with all those tents, and its slanted green, offering a nice panoramic view as you get close to it.
As for the right dogleg par-5 18th hole, you will need to hit a pretty accurate approach toward the elevated green to avoid the water flowing across in front (with a nice little arched stone bridge to gaze at) and a couple of wide bunkers in front.
With immaculate fairways and beautiful design all along, Quietly proved, once again, that he has a knack for paying attention to details and this par 72 is no exception. So hurry to pack your bags and head for McKinney in Texas to see all the nice surprises Quietly has come up with at this TPC Craig Ranch course...

Masterpiece. Your courses have everything from great sculpting to fantastic ambient sounds. Attention to the details is second to none, the mid distance traffic is just wow. I sometimes forget how good this game can look like. Such people like you are making this game timeless. Offline season and freedom of choice is why I kept playing this game and not PGA 2k series. Many, many thanks for your incredible work. I still hope one day you will make Austin and proper East Lake

Having tested this, I can say that it checks off every item on the Quietly list:

Attention to detail, watched CLS work, accurate design, great textures, awesome playability

Really clever design with some amazing extras that just add so much to the overall good feel. Played it advanced, dry, breezy, with difficult pins , the course played great with no issues at all . many thanks for sharing great work.

Simply an incredible rendition. The attention to detail is just superb. The elevation work, the cars on the highway, the buildings, the walls, I could go on and on. And that new water, you bet I am going to be a copycat if I can figure it out, lol. The greens are just full of slope to make this course tough. I am amazed Quietly, great work, five stars for sure!

The course logo is designed as a tv presentation style logo that looks better on the scorecard in-game using either of the menu conversions that I made for the game (Golf Channel or CBS Sports). My previous real tournament courses included the same logo style.

Thanks for the new course. Looks good and played OK on Calm, Very Dry, Expert. The only real issue I saw was the logo file. Not sure why you created it as a rectangle. Just makes it odd looking on the Course Settings page of the game.


I feel like I''m diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
