I think having a couple courses done with the Winter theme (as there are now) is nice as a novelty.
But I wouldn't want to see 1000s of them, as the novelty wears off.
Plus, if including it would take any resources away from anything else, then no.
If it were totally "free" from HB's perspective in terms of labour/allocation of resources, then sure, as there is no downside.

Though, as an aside, it would be nice on the course select screen, to have the theme indicated by the course name.
Some themes I enjoy more than others, ps4 runs better than others, etc, and sometimes you want to play a particular type of course.
Having that on the front page would make those selections easier (and if people wanted to avoid winter themed courses without winter in the name, they could do it quickly/easily)

I've voted 'no', but only because I think time may be better spent elsewhere.  For me, it was a nice novelty but I can't honestly see many people building any courses in it.

Quoted for truth.

I second the above.

Besides, I golf in all kind of crazy weather, but I'm not insane enough to golf in SNOW ... now if HB wants to publish a couple of winter courses during the holidays ... great.
My most recent course:
Cypress Point CA 93953


Jensens Cay, Grand Bahama
Helen D. Devil's Hole GC
Presidio Fort Point
Marina Del Pacifico
Kasplash-Andropn
Harvest High Country Club
The CGC @ Peeblestone Bay
Misty Mountain Monastery
The Links @ Hylandia #2
El Dorado Hills 95762

I voted no.

I see this theme as a bit of a novelty. Maybe have a couple of tournaments at Christmas time, but I think that as a theme it is very limited, who ever plays in the snow anyway?
I found it very hard to see the lines of putts in this theme too.
When I first saw the theme I thought wow, that looks great, then within half a round I realized I was just playing a normal course that looked quite pretty and didn't play any differently, then the novelty wore off and I didn't go back to the course again.

I would rather HBS spend every available second on fixing the crashing in the GNCD especially on the PS4.

I have voted 'Yes' for the fact that the snow might stop my 4 foot putts going 20 feet past the hole  ;D

I voted No.  I would rather see time spent on other updates, or other warm weather based themes.  I did not even play any of the tournaments, other than the Par 3 challenge, 2 attempts.  Its a novelty that was nice for a temporary thing at the holidays.

Please no. Resources elsewhere.
Hard to read the greens in snowy mode anyway (for me - couldn't stand it)

no, not for me....I think you should be bold and scrap the current links theme then introduce a more realistic version, or keep the current one just call it seaside or something, i think HB fail to realise just how poor the current links theme is, and what a missed opportunity it has been. Without doubt my biggest disappointment in the game thus far....i new revamped links theme would be amazing.
