Mike,

The front nine are dark red.  The back nine are orange.  You are not color blind, just not very observant  ;)

Now, why are they those particular colors?

the three sets of tees are also dark red, deep orange and white (white is used on the pins, with the baskets on the East and Flags on the West).  A unique but simple colour set for the whole complex.

I know I've been told the story - they ran out paint?  (wrong, right?)

BTW - have you ever seen the mini-baskets on the practice putting green?

Dan,

Of what do the dark red and orange colors remind you?  Consider that this is paint they always have on hand.

what about that bunker style? occasionally set into the tops of mounds.   Is this flynn or wilson style?  or maybe richie V?

also the guy that owns the house in pic above behind and left of first green says he has already found and resold over 100 of mr. morrison's lost golf balls.

Wayne,

The dark red reminds me of the old maroon phillies uniforms... am I on the right track?

I know...I know...tractor paint, what do I win???
All architects will be a lot more comfortable when the powers that be in golf finally solve the ball problem. If the distance to be gotten with the ball continues to increase, it will be necessary to go to 7,500 and even 8000 yard courses.
