Dick, The land plan is different at Ballyneal. The course is designed to be walked, therefore the returning nines bring you back to the clubhouse.
Now, one of the big reasons it's walking, is for the turf. A secret blend of Wilber's finest. You'll probably be able to figure it out when you see it, soon. However, if and when you do figure it out, don't tell anyone, otherwise Dave will have to kill you.
I wonder what the turf considerations were, and what they are using at Dismal?
