﻿  Note: DLC courses may contain region-specific introductory text, localized course names, and selection images only visible in translated games.  This is designated below using the N64 region codes for that locality (E for North America, J for Japan, D for German, F for French, etc.).  If not found, translations will revert to the Japanese resources.  If no Japanese introductory text is provided, no text will be displayed unless overide text is provided for that locality.

.: Course Information :.

#9001	Golf de Bordeaux Club
  Filename: GolfdeBordeauxClub.crs
  Course Name: J, E
  Introductions: E
  Course Select Image: J, E
  Tournament Select Image: J, E
  *A SeTa original course, ported from PSX Eikou no St. Andrews (#901).
  
  Dynamic is the best way to describe its signature high-banked fairways and drastic elevation differences--as much as 100 ft. in places.  As such, wind and ball spin play significant factors in how your shots fly.
  Recommended for intermediate players accustomed to how ball control works in this game.


#9002	Dog Hill Golf & Country Club
  Filename: DogHill.crs
  Course Name: J, E
  Introductions: E
  Course Select Image: J, E
  Tournament Select Image: J, E
  *A SeTa original course, ported from PSX Eikou no St. Andrews (#902).
  
  Falling somewhere between a late-beginner to intermediate course, Dog Hill differs from Montreal primarily in its easier greens.  Most of its holes are doglegs with hazards at each bend, testing distance control under different conditions.  Like Montreal, many holes have saplings poised to narrow the effective approach or at the edges of sand or water traps.


#9003	Lakewoods Golf Club
  Filename: Lakewoods.crs
  Course Name: J, E
  Introductions: E
  Course Select Image: J, E
  Tournament Select Image: J, E
  *A SeTa original course, ported from PSX Eikou no St. Andrews (#903).
  
  An easy beginner's course.  Most holes have flat-ish greens and wide, straight fairways.  Its most unique holes would be the 9th, played from a platform in a lake; and 6th, whose fairway is split just after a hard dogleg by a water hazard, far enough that popping one over the treeline blind without fair wind probably won't end well.


#9004	Montreal Golf Course
  Filename: Montreal.crs
  Course Name: J, E
  Introductions: E
  Course Select Image: J, E
  Tournament Select Image: J, E
  *A SeTa original course, ported from PSX Eikou no St. Andrews (#904).
  
  An intermediate course--primarily due to the rounded greens--Montreal is designed to control the direction and length of your approach shots.  Most bunkers and lakes are ringed with saplings, and others lie at the ends of hazards to complicate recovery shots.  Like Dog Hill, it is usually obvious how to approach each hole, though nowhere near as forgiving when you make an error.


#9005	Tokyo Bay Resort
  Filename: TokyoBayResort.crs
  Course Name: J, E
  Introductions: E
  Course Select Image: J, E
  Tournament Select Image: J, E
  *A SeTa original course, ported from PSX Eikou no St. Andrews (#905).

  Tokyo Bay Resort is played across a mountainous coastline, most holes positioned directly against the sea and some on the beach.  Many of the greens are exceptionally difficult, most fairways rolling like waves with steep dropoffs along the edge.  An excellent way to ruin your handicap.
  Unlike the other conversions, this one substitutes the "tropical" object collection.  Several of the pine trees are substituted for palms.  Before complaining, please be aware that palms can be found as far north as Hokkaido.

.: Note on SeTa Original Courses :.
  An unused, slightly off-format file on the disk called addfcg contains selection pics for four of the six PSX Eikou no St. Andrews courses, which is why they were converted here.  The Old Course (stroke & tournament) and Montreal were not present in the file, and tournament selection pics were not provided.  If their builds are comparable to mine, only four would fit within the 3MB filesize limit and, frankly, Montreal was the most boring ;*)
  These are original courses insofar as they were created by SeTa, not based on an existing real-world golf course.  Internally, they are simply named Original 1, Original 2, etc. with no reference to the course name on the selection pics.
  Ported courses remain *relatively* unmodified.  Additional objects are not added and their configuration left unchanged.  Objects (front-facing sprites) are not portable, so each is replaced with something sharing a similar profile, size, or hitbox as circumstances dictate.  In some cases, what visually matches between the titles is not used because of the profile change that occured (height of trees, for example).  As such there will be some visual differences.
  Additional tee boxes and markers were created from the existing tee boxes in the course models.  The strange midhole-or-closer tees were removed.  Yardages are based on the "standard" cup position; the cup can move virtually anywhere in the green in game modes like stroke play, so the actual value will probably differ during gameplay.
