Paul Richards:
Jim;
Any restoration or architectural experience or is this his
maiden voyage?

Dunlop_White:
Paul,

Kris Spence used to be the superintendent at Greensboro CC in Greensboro, NC. Their professional, Scott Bailey, could answer most any question that you have concerning Kris.

Also, Brad Klein likes his work as he conveyed this to a group at Old Town Club. Give Brad a call, and I'm sure he will elaborate.

I do know that Kris Spence and The Course Doctors, Inc. are currently together again renovating the bunkers at Cedar Brook CC in Elkin, NC, just below Roaring Gap.

Paul Richards:
Dunlop:

Returning from Pinehurst, we stopped overnight at the
Grove Park and I was fortunate enough to get to tour the
course by cart.  Although the course isn't scheduled to open
for a few more weeks, I was quite enchanted by what I
saw.  The routing is amazing, as it is a very small piece of
property, yet seems to flow very nicely.  This course could
very well be a "hidden gem" that some on golfclubatlas like
to find.

BCrosby:
Good to hear some attention is being paid to the course.  Is any attempt being made to restore the Ross design?

I played it about 15 years ago and it was in abysmal condition.  Really awful.

Bob

Scott_Burroughs:
Being a NC resident, I of course have heard of it and have seen it from the Inn's veranda and driving by it, but have not played it.  I'd heard it was nothing too special.
