Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year from all your friends at Green Acres Golf Course.


Snow flurries are blowing across the course during the holiday season, the pond has frozen for skating, and watch for the snow drift when approaching the 12th green.

Enjoy the holiday season at Green Acres Golf Course.

Green Acres Golf Course

Recent visitors will notice we've moved a few familiar things around a bit and removed the instructional signs that were here and there around the region.

This is all part our transition to new projects. The golf course will be available for a week or so into the new year. It has been a fun two years designing and maintaining the course.

There are many wonderful things to discover and enjoy throughout the many realms of SL regions. We are happy to have contributed to this world of discovery and that many people enjoyed our two-year project.

Play Games Like A "Poe" Today!

Take our wicked Halloween Haunted "Poe House" quiz about the works of famous poet Edgar Allan Poe.

There's no mystery to it (wait maybe there is).

Just look to the east from the Romantic Times region landing point for the off-kilter house on the hill. Touch the "Poe House" for the 13 question quiz notecard. There's no pit, but don't touch the pendulum.

You can always play golf for free too. Enjoy!

Crimson clouds dance...

Crimson clouds dance ever wary, over the "Poe House" fun and scary.

Halloween 2011 installation in Romantic Times region of Second Life™. Touch the house for "Poe Puzzle Challenge" and test yourself against the questions "posed" about the works of Poe.

It's fun and harmless, but watch out for the murderous monkey (hint).

Collaboration and Creativity

One of the many wonderful things about Second Life™ is the collaboration and creativity this new medium encourages.

Today Alisha Matova stopped by with a new sculpted windmill she is just now completing. She had noticed our fondness for wind power and thought we might like a copy.



Alisha's surprise gift is the perfect feature to complete the setting of the ruins of the historic gold mine on Golf Aruba. The setting needed a final touch, and who knows what it might have been had Alisha not thought of us. Thank you Alisha. Your windmill is wonderful.

Quoth the raven, "Look there's ore!"

On the shovel, strong and sturdy, perched the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, looking at the ore of yore.

Golfing in the WindLight

The magic of Second Life™ brings golf to a new level of realization with WindLight sky settings. Using the viewer menu for World > Environment Settings > Sky Settings allows residents to select sky conditions from among many presets or to create their own settings.


In the photo above two Green Acres golfers experience foggy sky conditions using one of the WindLight sky presets. The 14th green also features falling rain and a small rainbow that reaches toward the flag.


Golfers can select their own sky conditions to set the mood and even go so far as to introduce new dimensions of enjoyment and challenge to the game of golf.

You can view a portfolio of WindLight photographs at Green Acres Golf Course on Flickr.

Stone Bunkers "Looming Large"

Inspired by scenes from the 2011 British Open, the course designer has reworked several of the stone bunkers at Green Acres Golf Course.

Jumping July Two-Course Golf Tourney

Just in time for summer fun, it's our first-ever two-course summertime golf tourney.

There's ample prize money. The top three places for combined scores over 36 holes will divide up $5,000 Linden dollars.

Everyone has a chance to be a winner in this tourney. And, of course, golfing is always free here so there are no entry fees.

Turn in your best Green Acres Golf Course score anytime between today and midnight SLT on July 16. Play as often as you like, and turn in your best complete round. Take a screen shot of your scorecard or write out a notecard with results on each hole and total score. Send to Morton Decosta by midnight on the 16th.

Turn in your best Golf Aruba score anytime between July 17th and midnight on July 31st. Again, play as often as you like and send screen shot of best scorecard or complete notecard to Morton Decosta.

A Midsummer Day's Magic

William Shakespeare came along about 100 years after King James II banned golf as a distraction from learning archery. "All's well that end's well" however and golf went on to become one of the world's most popular sports and Shakespeare devoted himself to great writing.

And now, the capabilities of Second Life™ and Green Acres Golf Course bring golf to a new level of realization. You can play golf "night or day" with friends from all over the world in a total immersion golf course environment that brings striking visualization to the game.

It's magic!

Here, three golfers enjoy summertime fun at Green Acres Golf Course. One golfer lines up her putt on the 11th green while friends look on.
