Played the west in the annual pro am last Monday and the east in a PGA 4BBB knock out match
There were 60 odd pro's playing and 16 broke 80 around the west!
The greens are excellent, very firm (read rock) and fast add high blustery winds and it was a great challenge. Tee to green very good, the legend has added a club and a half to approach shots with the ball not running as far as in the past.
Fairways very good for what has been a wet and cold Autumn.
Greens were very tues as well as quick, particularly on the 3rd putt!
The fescues around the greens are still a bit soft but far better than in February.
As tough a set up as i recall with pins in tough spots, and that is with about 300 rounds played there.
They have cleared some tee tree between 4W and 16E for a large stand, a new tee has been built on 16E making about 165M (guessing).
They have let the rough grow out on 18W which means you need to take a line further left leaving a longer approach.
To me it looked like 11W green had some slight contour changing on the back right with a bit more of a shelf in the green than used to be there.
Nothing else jumped out as being changed. They have used a machine in the bunkers and even long irons were burying in the bunkers most recently done. Played with the immediate past captain and a member of the greens committee and they expect the bunkers tos ettle well before November.
On the east, which i had not played for about 6 years, i do not the changes are as extreme or dramatic as has been suggested by some. Condition of the paddock holes was better than i expected and enjoyed it very much (5 birdies and eagle will do that)
