I personal didn't have Problems with the selected Courses, but i would as example on the European Tour prefer to play the real Courses then Fantasy Courses. Maybe it could be an option for the next Tourney Start's that the Community can vote for the courses we play?

I just checked how many real courses there are for American and Continental Tours. I did not count courses that have 2 versions, including 3d. 182 American and 48 Continental. If the numbers are not totally correct, forgive me, but I think I am close anyway. 48 courses for 46 weeks means Continental will have to have a few fantasy courses. That's what I would like to have a vote on. Real Continental courses we should NOT use and which fantasy courses we should.

Any Mike Jones fantasy course would get a yes from me (Capt Obvious). Bortimus also has 5 very nice fictionals that play well.
Here is a spreadsheet that can be sorted by author, plot type, ect. to help.

Thanks everyone for your input in this thread. I do understand that everybody defines "fun" differently, but what it boils down to for me is that in order to be fun, it also has to have integrity and some semblance of reality inherent in the course. There are simply some silly putt-putt-like shots in the K11 courses that I do not enjoy. Out of bounds markers on the left side of the fairway is one of those, and a water tower between you and the green is another. I certainly did not mean to start anything ugly with the thread, just expressing an opinion that I am definitely entitled to have.

Constructive opinions are always welcomed, in fact encouraged. I would enjoy hearing from more players on their likes and dislikes.

Sorry - the last two SoneComet courses (Appachee Springs and Mohawk Valley) don't belong in a competitive tournament. Too many poorly placed pins on very sloped greens just turns good shots into ugly outcomes (my opinion only).
