Seems a little extreme to me to make all those changes to a classic course. I played it last year and I did think that 17 and 18 were pretty anticlimactic, but completely replace them? I also played the Valley and loved it. Neat little fun course. Had pint with a member who's Parents have a house on the Dunluce. Gave us some history of the course and tales of Darren, Graeme, and Rory. Would love to go back.
