REAL WORLD ROOTS

Let us know what specific topics you'd like to see discussed on The Workshop, keeping in mind that graphic communication of the ideas is what we're all about.

I have enjoyed imagining the routing for Central Park and decided to take my routing and finish it with hole details. I still need to add contour lines, and some finish detail, but other than for my own enjoyment, it has no chance of ever being implemented or seen so I thought I would share it here. If any others have done the same, would love to see what you have done. Here is my Central Park routing and please feel free to change it up and make it more interesting or exciting.

In an ideal world I would own this course someday and make changes to make it even more enjoyable/playable. I will post the entire routing below and encourage your input to how to make this small, severely sloped piece of property an even better course. I will post some ground views as well to sho…
