David Tepper or other Bay Area GCAers may have the answer to this question: Doesn't Metro in Oakland qualify as a Common Ground-type success story? My understanding of the story of Metro is it is a new course built over an old, neglected muni course. It has nice practice facilities and serves as the First Tee home, I believe. I'm not sure what it cost to make over or if it has Papago type debt- but it certainly provides a nice facility for an urban area- with a "grow the game" atmosphere, sans any expensive, needless trappings. Anyone have more details on Metro's history?
