Are the greens at DR bent or fescue?

Adam when I was there in August, I was told that the hill guarding the green was to be lowered.  Was that ever a plan?

The greens are bentgrass.

I hope the hill at No. 18 remains. I found it to be an entertaining feature. Aside from its uphill slog, the finisher was an interesting hole, especially at the green. I tried my best to get my partner to aim nearly 90º right of the lower pin position, but he refused. Bad putt — and decision!

Tommy, Forrest, I know for a fact that altering that hill is not in the current in the works.

Bill, The 12th green was regraded. I recall that from my own memory.

As stated aove, the 13th had the most significant changes. Not just regrading but widening and a completely new greensite some 60 yards short of the original.

Don, I can't be definitive but I'd say Bent.

I would guess A4, even Seaside. I did not speak with the greenkeeper while there. But, it was bentgrass.
