INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to EA SPORTS™ Course Architect™, a complete 3D develop-
ment environment. The Course Architect lets you develop courses for use in
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 2003 in full 3D. 
For years, this tool has been used to design, build, and compile golf
courses for PC-based golf games. Now, you can use these professional
design tools to build the golf course of your dreams. And, you can import
your dream course into Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2003 to challenge the Pros
to a round or tournament on your custom course. Or, bundle your courses
and publish them online to share your creations with other Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 2003 
golf fans.
Course Architect is a 3D development suite that shares features and
methods with many popular 3D graphics programs. New for this year, Tiger
Woods PGA TOUR courses feature whole land plotting. Through the New
Course Wizard, you can design the entire plot of land containing your golf
course, including general topography, large terrain features, substantial
water areas and the basic layout and orientation of each hole.
When you have completed your course, you can use the Optimize Detail
to prep your project for compiling. The Course Architect compiler then
proofs and packages your course to include it in your suite of courses in
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2003. In the event of problems during compile,
Repair Course can address many of them.
