... actually RJ, and after reviewing my previous post...it occurred to me that in the last 6 months ( as not much GC design is going on), I have been designing two recreational water parks. One, a 16 acre salt water/ fresh water lagoon type for a large resort, and a smaller (but fun filled) one for a boutique style resort.

The design concepts are similar, and its just all about dirt.

Paul, What are the prospects of the smaller one moving forward soon?

Shooting Star in Jackson, WY. The lake to the left of the 15th both serves for irrigation and the massive amount of fill was used throughout the course. Had to be expensive, but Fazio did an amazing job of creating something interesting. The hole around the lake is an interesting par five as well.
