COURSE: Duneland Greens & Yacht Club
DESIGN: Art Steiger, aka Graf
DATE: May 31, 1993
VERSION: 1.1
DUNELAND GREENS AND YACHT CLUB
MEMO TO TODAY'S GOLFERS: Dear Member, The management thanks you for
your continued patronage, and we sincerely hope that your rounds on
this course are as enjoyable an experience for you as operating the
club is for us. As some of you already know, today is the date of
our annual DG&YC Regatta. We hope that all the attendant activity
will not interfere with your enjoyment of the game. Please give the
TV cameramen as free a rein as possible (we do not want to repeat the
ugly incident of last year, when one former member came to blows with
a technician he perceived as overly noisy--he probably would have 4
putted the hole anyway). Thank you in advance for your support and
understanding!
The Management
The present course is an attempt to capture the flavor of the
terrain on the southern shores of Lake Michigan in northwest Indiana.
The country is gently rolling, with occasional dense growths of oaks,
cottonwoods, and various conifers. A large area has been turned into
the Dunes National Lakeshore Park; and while there are numerous
tracts of unspoiled land, these are rapidly being developed as the
population increases. This is probably good for the economy of the
region, but the effect such development has upon the local geography
is another matter.
I've tried in Duneland to create as realistic a rendering as
possible of the general contours of the land, and to add a grab bag
of trees that are indigenous to the area. I purposely omitted cart
paths, as I wanted this to be a "walking" course. I had originally
intended to have water play a major role in this course, but with
Lake Michigan so prominent a feature (in the background), this just
didn't work too well. I reserved the use of water for just one hole,
the 10th. Finally, I hope those of you who are from--or have
visited--this part of the country, will find my efforts reasonably
faithful to the original.
My sincere thanks go to the following people, whose own efforts
made the design of the present course so much easier: To George
Rodriguez III for the two pine trees, three birch trees, and two of
the ground foliage objects from his GR3OBJ01.ZIP and GR3OBJ02.ZIP
files; to Mark Willett for the bench/ball washer object from his
ISLES.ZIP; and to Brian Silvernail for a ground foliage object from
his SCORPSE.ZIP.
The base background comes from the commercial JNSE Sherwood
course. I have revised and reworked it extensively. Many of the
remaining objects are likewise from the Sherwood course. I've
reworked them to make them appear as realistic, and as detailed, as
possible. I hope the final result bears this out. The remaining
objects are original.
Please feel free to communicate any opinions, comments, or
suggestions you may have regarding this, or my previous courses,
WILDWOOD, PINEHILL, or TROIKA--all available on the Accolade BBS:
