First one is Matt's statement on another thread:
"The Dismal River layout is far from bringing down the immediate region as you state -- frankly -- I believe the future plans that DR is contemplating will accelerate the interest of a great many golfers who likely would never be able to access the area for a whole host of reasons."
Matt or Anyone- does this mean public courses at Dismal? I ask because I am trying to figure out what the hell these guys are doing. I have heard in various circles that they are putting $20mm into this thing and I just can't figure out why or how they are going to get a return on their investment.
My second question is the new private course that Coore and Crenshaw are doing in Pinehurst. Is this the Carthage club? I am guessing this is a stretch but thought I would ask. Here is the list of their new slate of courses:
In Planning or Under Construction
The Tribute (construction to begin in late 2005) Bend, Oregon
Sugarloaf Mountain (construction underway) Orlando, Florida
Spring Valley; Aspen, Colorado (construction to begin Spring, 2007)
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico (construction to begin Winter, 2007)
The Bahamas (construction to begin January 2007)
Pinehurst (18 holes, Private, construction to begin early 2008)
Palmetto Bluff; Bluffton, S.C. (18 holes to begin in mid-2008)
