TrackMan is pleased to announce a CourseForge design competition, providing all community members with an opportunity to design and create a challenging and fun par 3 course for TrackMan Indoor Golf and the PerfectGolf game.
Contestants are asked to create a unique par 3 course with the CourseForge design software. The course should provide a fun challenge to players of various skill levels from beginners to experts, and in addition it should be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. All course styles are welcomed such as Oceanside, Parkland, Forrest, Links, Fantasy etc.
There are prizes for the best courses submitted.
Prizes are as follows:
1st EUR 1,000
2nd EUR 700
3rd EUR 400
4th EUR 250
5th EUR 150
Course requirements
Any submission must contain minimum 9 holes but preferably 18 holes
Hole designs cannot be replicas of existing holes or courses but inspiration may be taken from the world's best par 3 holes
The length of each hole can be anywhere from 50 to 250 yards, but for every hole at least 3 different tee lengths are required (easy, medium, difficult)
For every hole, 3 different pin positions are required (easy, medium, difficult)
Courses should have environmental sounds
Courses must be able to be loaded and played in TrackMan Indoor Golf and PerfectGolf (as bug free as possible)
The author(s) of the course will be credited on the loading screen and as part of the course description, if desired.
Not all courses need to be suitable for all skills levels of golfers ie: ‘Beginners’ courses or courses suitable for medium to advanced players are all welcome. However, courses that are designed well enough to cater to a wide variety of players will be preferred by the judging panel. This can be accomplished by the clever use of tee lengths and angles to the green.
Entry requirements
All contestants must acknowledge and agree to the requirements outlined below.
Entries can only be submitted by email to [email protected]
The mail should include:
Designer’s real name and address
Course description
Link to the course download location (e.g. Dropbox)
If a course is considered to have sufficient quality, but does not receive one of the main prizes, TrackMan may at their discretion award further prizes of EUR 150 for each course chosen in addition to the main prizefund.
In the event of a prize winning entry the contestant grants TrackMan all legal rights to the playable course (including but not limited to the digital course file and name rights)
Multiple entries and joint entries are allowed but if a prize is won by a joint entry it will be split evenly among contestants so all names must be included on the entry information.
TrackMan may have to adjust the prize winning courses slightly. These changes are meant to improve the design in relation to the design requirements. Trackman will also fix any bugs found on the courses.
All identified winners of the competition are responsible for any and all applicable taxes and other government levies that arise from the prizes awarded to each winner
The winning courses are planned to be released for TrackMan Indoor Golf – and will also be made available to the PG community to play in PerfectGolf. The course entries should not be released to the public anywhere until the final decision on the winners has been announced.
