$5 million sound low but it depends on the scope of the work.  The key is how technology in drainage and irrigation have changed and could they build it to keep the water out at Sharp Park.

Noboby ever talks about the late Robert Muir Graves and how and why he destroyed Sharp Park in the early 1970's.  After a few courses that I have seen him work on including Sharp park and Contra Costa CC his legacy is going way down as an architect.

Not to mention Furry Creek and Glen Annie!  :o :o :P

Bill,
There is talk of razing Glen Annie for houses, but the enviromental laws of the area are preventing them from doing it. Right now, the course loses something like a million to a million and a half a year with a steady restaurant business keeping it from complete insolvency for the time being. That is until the owner decides to start growing some grapes or something on it.

It's a bad golf course. So bad, I want to go out and stomp on a frog. (the cute little things that they are)
