Not sure if this is the same thing, but I'm using a controller on PC.
When I have a fairway highlighted, for example, and I scroll through the menu and choose Select Surface, it dings as if I've selected it, but nothing happens.
Likewise, if I go to create surface and choose Greens, for example, it takes me straight to the shapes without having the opportunity to select the surface.
I've tried this on existing courses and when starting a brand new course, with the same results on each.
The mow pattern options seem to be working, and I can access the new themes, but the surface selector doesn't seem to be working.
