Like I said depending on what you are trying to achieve the price could vary dramatically. Is there a problem with the current conditioning? Are there drainage issues or as Mark alluded to did the greens shrink was my first thought
Your answer surprised me because unless the greens were so fast in spots that you couldn’t pin them it’s unusual for someone to flatten the interior contours. The second and fifth at Pine Valley were altered for this reason but unless you really knew them it would be hard to discern, and the major reason was balls literally running off the green (front)despite the quality of the putt or shot
I’m becoming more and more a fan of the old greens 🥬 as the poa bent mix just seems so good down here and in the mid-Atlantic region in general. Some of the new greens built in the last twenty years just aren’t as good IMHO
The oldest ones seem to roll best so be careful what you wish for.
I’m a fan of stripping and replacing the grass if possible, we did it at Greate Bay over twenty years ago in November and it recovered really fast in the spring. This was on a new green and I would bet
almost no one could tell which one it was because of that.
Still puzzled how the greens got flattened this way ?
