I just finished designing my first course using the TGC 2019 design program...not without some setbacks, but I released it today - 3 times, lol. The course is named Skellig Ring Ocean Course; but the first version by that name had non-working tees. So I fixed that problem and published the second version, but it must have a different name, so it is named Skellig Ring Ocean V2. However, as it turned out, I had assigned a par of 4 to hole #10, which is 548 yards long, in V2. A 4 is not impossible there - it is a birdie hole - but with wind it might not be reachable in 2; so I fixed the problem by changing Hole #10 to a par 5 (which gives the course three consecutive par 5s; not the optimal result, but it makes the course more playable). That was my third (and hopefully final) version. It is named Skellig Ring Ocean V3. Sorry for the confusion. It would be much clearer if the makers of TGC 19 would permit the designer to delete the versions with errors, but it is not possible in TGC 19. You can find all three versions by searching under my designer name CER1949.
I don't recommend playing the first version because of the problem with the tees. But, depending on whether you want to play #10 as a 548 yard par 4 (as in V2) or par 5 (as in V3), you can select the appropriate version to play.
The course is quite long because it has five par 5s. I have attached the scorecard as well as an informational screen that comes up in the game.
The name Skellig Ring comes from a scenic route that extends off the Ring of Kerry in southwest Ireland, but this course is purely fictional. There are some famous courses in the vicinity, like Waterville.
Here is a flyover of Hole number 1.

The course has a lot of slope. I did not want to change the natural topography of the cyber land plot, so I laid out the course and used what the cyber topography served up for each hole. You can get a taste for the course by viewing the short video file below, which is a shot out of the rough. This might seem an odd example but watch how many times the ball changes direction on this one shot. This is due to the various slopes that you will find as you travel around this tract. In any event, I hope you will give it a go and find it to be an enjoyable course to play.
