The Nicklaus course at Pronghorn has 9 open and the second 9 will open soon as Peter noted. It doesn't look like any Nicklaus course I've seen before so I'll be interested to see how it is received by the raters. One local player said he didn't like it because so many of the greens fell away from the fwy...hmmm. It looks pretty darn good to me.
I believe the Fazio is routed and ground breaking will begin after the Nicklaus growin is completeted. I doubt that Proghorn will ever be public.
Larry, sounds like Jacobsen/Hardy may be doing the new Eagle Crest project. Wouldn't be a surprise as they seem to be fairly busy in the NW. Larry, do you ever get to OR?
Dan, the area is booming, so I can't imagine finding work would be difficult. The employment rate is high, but it's a lot easier to find a job here then it was in TX, so I'm not sure how they come up with the figure. It's definitly a different attitude and I've had a hard time finding people who actually want to work. Lots of jobs and high unemployment, go figure.
