Rock River Bluffs
This is essentially a fictionalized re-design of the Riverside Municipal course that I've released previously. As a result I have decided to not put this through rigorous beta testing as the previous release covered it pretty well, although I have moved a few greens and added some tees and bunkers. The most dramatic changes are the removal of many large trees along the perimeter of the course that allow for the river to be more of a visible presence. Otherwise most of the holes are untouched, save for some new tees and an occasional bunker removed or replaced that I felt were out of play.
I have also re-routed the course to play in its original sequence from when the course opened. The routing was slightly changed in 1977 and then more significantly in 1985 to the order that exists today. I never got a chance to play it any other way as I did not begin playing golf there until a short time after the final change. I actually believe the original sequence to be superior as it puts three of the course's strongest holes at the finish.
I have also installed a set of challenge tees, many based on shots I've actually hit in real life.
