Hey everybody,

You gotta go check out all the new stuff on DMK's website.

http://www.dmkgolfdesign.com

I'm talking images of Nanea, his private gem in Hawaii......the Castle course at St. Andrews too!

Here are a couple examples.......

Those are the most Nanea pictures I think I have ever seen, but maybe I am not searching correctly.  How about under Portfolio, In Construction, Fiji?  A private course on a private island for a very private client.

Jason,

Yea, totally agree.  I've been yearning to see more of Nanea for ages now.  Ben Crane says it's his favorite course in the world.

And how about that clubhouse?!?  WOw.

So does Hammy Hearst, if my memory serves me correctly.

I must admit that the first picture you propped looked like #6 at Wildhorse (Gothenburgerhammerstein, Nebraska.) with the convex bunker grown wild like Don King's hair. (Yo, Mahar, lay off the nitrogen!) Even the power poles are growing.

John,

I'm still curious to see how it grows in.

Here are a bunch of construction shots:

There is also a good shot of the Master Plan here:

It is fascinating to see a work in progress and what is done by hand and what is done by machine.  Not many of us get to see this.  Thanks

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

Having visited Bob Huntley 2 months prior to playing Nanea, when I came down that 2nd hole, I couldn't help but think of Bob's pet peeve about sightlines w/ telephone poles and wires.

Hard to appreciate from the photos, but holes 11 & 16 are exceptional.  IMO - Holes 9 & 18 are amongst the weaker holes out there architecturally.

To me, Nanea has stronger holes architecturally than Bandon Dunes.  The weaker ones suffer from severe topography on the back nine.
