I think I looked at that site 6-8 years ago.


But I'm curious why are they still using CGI models of the course to promote it, if it's actually complete?

I don't really care to go find them.  I was wondering why the developers weren't making it easy.

The Trackman CGI flyovers are fairly accurate on some holes wildly inaccurate on others.  I took some drone shots on Saturday and it took a fair amount of time to label the pictures because several holes weren't matching up with the CGI versions on their website.  Fortunately they also have drone flyovers of the holes now which helped clear some things up.  One major difference is the 3rd hole which CGI shows as par three over a pond but in actuality it is a "Rivera #6" style par three with a bunker in the center of the green and no pond.  They have nine holes that people can play right now and will have the full course open by May is my understanding.  Here are a handful of pics:
