  When you're just off the green, there's a bit of a bug with the views on the 13th hole of Wolf Creek. Posted below are two views of the same shot or location. The first is from behind the hole; the second is from behind the player.
  
  The ball is off the green and listed as being on the fairway. In the second, it's not clear that the ball is on the fairway; it looks like the player is on the green. Additionally, the proportions are odd.
  
  In playing this hole, I've had this occur twice. This is on the mobile platform (iOS).

  I have noticed several locations where I could not tell where the green/fairway boundary was!  Sometimes makes it difficult to know where a chip might land!

  I think this might be because you can't see the actual hole from the front view and the pin is shown "through" the rise that blocks the view.

  No, it is a bug. I've had it too in PC. The background image is the same whether using front or reverse view there, and in front view your avatar is shown on the green just a few yards above the hole. The player and flagstick proportions have been altered by the correct amount, they've just been matched to the wrong image. It's the only bug I've found to date on the new course though, so it's a pretty good job by WGT.

  I'd be interested to now if anyone has tried many shots from rough around the bunkers. This was and still is bugged in Pebble and Erin, and will be a nightmare for WGT to fix if they ever get round to it. Hopefully this pattern has not continued.
