I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has an update on how the "transition to private" was going. There are 4 of us Aussies in Pinehurst in April. I wanted us to play DC and was told back in September we couldn't get on because they were trying to "transition to private".....but i should check back in the New Year to see how they were doing. Plenty of decent options in the area, of course, but I'd have liked a chance to check it out.......having travelled from the other side of the world & all!
