Meadow Club, MacKenzie's first design in America, is undergoing a pure restoration. In some cases the holes were altered on purpose, but others had deteriated by age. Courses are like humans, they change over time, and usually the change is not desireable. Mike DeVries is helping with the restoration. 9 holes are finished with 9 left to go.
Mike and Dave Sexton developed a method of restoring green surface (70% poa), sometimes adding as much as 5,500 sq/ft and playing it immediately. Green height is cut to existing levels in 5 weeks, and additions can't be distiguished from existing by the next year.
The results are stunning. The restored holes look better, play better, are harder, especially for the low handicaper, and offer many different shot options aroung the greens. (Kind of sounds like MacKenzie, dosn't it?"
