The
six courses listed below are the stock course designs
that I worked on with Scott Chesney for
Jack Nicklaus 6. It was both an honor and a privilege
to work with Scott. He is a great to collaborate with
and always makes projects like these enjoyable, even
with the constant deadlines. For each course, there
was a "foreman" which oversaw the details
such as the main art development and basically directed
the project. Here are some details about each course:
- Shoal
Creek
I was the foreman. I had the pleasure of paying a
site visit to Shoal in preparation for this recreation.
The weather wasn't great for the photo shoot, but
I did get the opportunity to play the course. Due
to time constraints, I worked on this course solo.
- Sherwood
Scott
was the foreman and paid a site visit to Sherwood.
This course was his baby and I feel he did an incredible
job with it. I helped with some objects, art tweaking,
and smoothing, but beyond that, it was all Scott's
creation.
- Muirfield
Village
Scott was foreman. This was a joint effort and Scott
worked on odd holes while I worked on the even ones.
It was also easier than the other courses since we
had the JN4 version to work from.
- Cochise
at Desert Mountain
Scott was foreman and paid a site visit to Arizona.
This was a joint effort and Scott worked on the front
nine, while I worked on the back. We both split responsibility
for creating the art for this recreation. It was a
challenging course to represent in JN6 with the game's
single hole limitations, but we are both quite pleased
with how it turned out.
- Nicklaus
North
I was foreman. This was a joint effort and
I worked on the odd holes and Scott did the evens.
The horizon was especially fun to develop since it
is the probably the most impressive feature of the
course.
- Montecastillo
I was foreman. This course was rough going from start
to finish. Since Cochise was added to JN6 quite late
in the development cycle, Montecastillo felt the pinch.
I basically had to quickly complete the course just
before the deadline. Even with its problems, I think
the course is still fun to play.
Here
are the JN5 courses that I have completed and released:
- Monterey
Bay
A co-design done with Scott Chesney and included
with JN5.
- Rolling Evergreen
An original design set in western North Carolina.
- Cypress Point
A recreation of
the classic design by Alister Mackenzie located in
Monterey, California
Below
are the golf courses I created with Accolade's Jack
Nicklaus Signature Edition Golf and Course Design (JNSE).
The game was released in 1992, and even though it is
now many years later it still has a loyal following
of fans. This is mainly due to the great course designer
that comes with the game and the multitude of courses
that have been produced with it. Using this designer,
I have created 10 courses for JNSE over the years. Four
of the courses were created for the Prodigy Network
Golf Tour (PNGT), which today is unfortunately no more.
If you look at my early courses compared to my later
ones, I definitely believe you will notice a refinement
in both my design style and imagery. Below you will
find a chronological list of links to separate pages
for each course. Each page contains detailed information
about the design and the option to download* the course.
* All of these courses may be distributed
freely as long as no money is charged or earned from
them. Also, I ask that if you decide to convert any
of these designs to JN4, JN5, or JN6 that you do so
for your own enjoyment only. Please do
not distribute a converted course
without my permission. Thank you.
