Rolling Evergreen’s Course Routing

olling Evergreen is the seventh course I have designed for JN6. This is an update of my JN5 version of the same course. It is set in the mountainous region of western North Carolina and features a good degree of elevation changes, an abundance of large sand traps along with a few water hazards. The fairways are wide open, which should be quite beneficial since Rolling Evergreen features an abundance of hazards to challenge the golfer. It requires a high degree of shotplanning rather than length off the tee as the course measures only around 6,800 yards from the tips. More details on Rolling Evergreen can be found in the text file that is included with the course.

Updates from the JN5 version of Rolling Evergreen

  • New texture set based mainly on the art I created for Shoal Creek.
  • Updated the horizon art, mainly reworking the views of the stone mountain so that it blends better with the course.
  • Replaced old stock trees from JN5 with some of the new stock trees Scott Chesney and I created for JN6.
  • Create three new skies for the course.
  • Tweaked some of the custom objects. All of the custom objects now have MIP maps.
  • Included parallel hole objects that improve the views on holes 3, 10, 16, and 17. Used a stock landscape panel to improve the view behind the 12th hole.
  • Added four new WAV sounds, and replaced the old wind sound with a new one.
  • Reworked the green some on the 2nd hole.
  • Planted a new tree and the end of the dogleg on the 4th to discourage power driving.
  • Planted some new trees on the 5th hole and slightly reworked the mounding for the bunker on the left side of the fairway, along with tweaking the fairway shape itself.
  • Reworked the 14th hole by expanding the green and adding a bunker to the back right.

An updated version of the course was released on June 29th that fixed the Parallel Hole Object collision problem at the back of the 12th green.
