It is very hard to tell if the front section of Fox Chapel's #17 was once greenspace. In any case, the club put it into green space fairly recently---within the last 4-7 years.
Personally, I'd love to see them also restore the bunkers on the front section. The reason they were obsoleted may've just had to do with access and egress. I think an effective way to compromise with that would be to simply have a grass walkway on either side at the mid-green swale.
I'd also recommend they restore the front bunker in the middle.
