Updating Mods - Course Design

Hey Gang - themonk did an awesome job with his mods from a couple of years ago. If there's demand, I was going to try and update them.
Also, has anyone found a viable way for course design? The app in the game seems awfully clunky and I don't think it's my machine but maybe it is. I wanted to try my hand at a few courses but It just didn't seem feasible with the in-game editor. Wondering if there are any other options?
Thanks!
