THE JUNGLE CRUISE COUNTRY CLUB ORIGINAL JNSE DESIGN BY: JEFF WHEELER ---------- THE STORY ---------- After purchasing JNSE and downloading some magnificent courses from various BBS's, I decided I would attempt to design a course of my own to share with everyone. I had racked my brain for weeks trying to come up with a design that would be challenging for me to design and original enough for the public to enjoy playing (and viewing). Then one day while working on the Jungle Cruise attraction at Disneyland, it hit me. The Jungle Cruise is a perfect land plot for a golf course. So I got a map of the river and went to work. The design is, of course, not to scale, but I think it fits in nicely for my purposes. To put things in perspective, to the North of the river would be New Orleans Square, to the East is the loading dock for the attraction and the rest of Adventureland. To the South is Main Street U.S.A. And to the West is the parking lot. ----------- THE COURSE ----------- Routing this course was very difficult for some reason. I had a hard time getting holes one and 18 next to each other. I had some major routing problems on hole 11 which are still there. (If anyone can fix it without messing up the hole, please let me know!!) This course favors the long ball hitter. There are lots of 400+ yard par 4's. In general, the fairways are wide and the greens are big. I didn't mix up the shot values too much, a mistake I didn't discover untill after I had completed the course. There are no cart paths on this course, except for the path linking holes 8 and 9. To get from hole to hole, you have to hop on on of the Jungle Cruise boats with its joke-cracking captain. These boats can be seen throughout the course. Also seen throughout the course is Old Smiley, one of the laziest crocs in these parts. Try not to get too close to him, he's always looking for a "handout"!! Once, there was an English teacher playing a round of golf who got too close to Old Smiley. He's now theaching shorthand!!!! Unfortunately, my design skills do not allow me to include other fairways and greens in the hole plots. In the future, as I become more familliar with different techniques, I will be able to do this. ------------ THE OBJECTS ------------ All of the objects on this course are my own original designs save two. The pine tree is a re-colored Willett tree and the ball washer and bench is also a Willett object. All others were done by me using the object editor or DeluxePaint II Enhanced. --------------- THE BACKGROUND --------------- The background on this course is one designed by GRIII. I picked up his 3 different backgrounds off the Double Eagle BBS. The mountain, clouds, and the waterfall were all added by me. BTW, that waterfall is Schweitzer Falls. Named after that famed African explorer, Dr. Albert Falls. I also re-colored the water using the pallete editor. ----------------- TALE OF THE TAPE ----------------- HOLE YARDS PAR HOLE YARDS PAR ====================================================== 1 424 4 10 320 4 2 578 5 11 194 3 3 392 4 12 405 4 4 461 4 13 181 3 5 226 3 14 488 5 6 232 3 15 512 5 7 544 5 16 440 4 8 394 4 17 384 4 9 461 4 18 394 4 ******************* TOTAL YARDS: 7030 TOTAL PAR: 72 ******************* Some of the holes have titles to them. Hole 18 is called "Six-shot" This refers to the term we use on the Jungle Cruise attraction when one of the boats becomes de-railed. The term dates back to the early days of the park before we had radios. If a boat became de-railed, the skipper loaded special ammo into his gun (very LOUD ammo) and fired six shots into the air. This signals the guys on the dock that he is de-railed. We still use six- shots today, but we have radios to make things easier. ---------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ---------------- There are many people whom I would like to thank. First and foremost I wish to thank the entire "Prodigy Gang" for all of thier advice to a rookie designer like myself. Their support and encouragement is, in my opinion, above and beyond the call of duty. Next I would like to thank Mark Willett and Gene Rodriguez for the use of their objects and background. And lastly I would like to thank the love of my life for letting me sit at home and play on the pooter. I hope you find this course a challenge to play and a joy to view. I have spent many hours designing this course for the sole reason for others to enjoy. Any comments or suggestions are GREATLY appriciated.
