The course is special, but not great. Holes 1, 2 & 3 are weak. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are strong. 10 is weak and was better a few years ago before they added the holding pond. 11, 12, 13 & 14 are all OK. 15, 16 & 17 are great and 18 is quirky, but I think it works.
The routing is the same from Colt's time and so is the clubhouse & locker room.
I'm sure Hawtree will do a great job. If he leaves the strong holes alone and adds something to the weak ones, the course has the potential to be one of the best, anywhere.
