There were other architects considered for the accc "remodel" but Tom Doak is the only one selected and to have his hands on it. That is unless you count the golf pro and the greens keeper, who often, along with the contractor felt they were more integral and knowlegeable as to how the golf course should be re-worked than Tom and his staff.It definately has not been restored, although greens on holes 3,8,9,11,are essentially the same and the Flyyn subtleness was saved. The greens were determined to need usga specs, although the soil was probably about as perfect as one could have wished for push up greens. This decision was not made by Renaissance, and I so not know why push ups were not used other than it was a big budget, and it probably did not seem "modern" to those involved in the agronomic decisions to take advantage of great soils for the greens. The soil that was taken out of the greens was absolutely marvolous, and many would love to this day to have greens made of it. But why use native soil when you can truck it in, and then maintain your greens like most everyone else you talk to at the next gcsaa meeting. I should stop, I am begining to vent.As for the golf course, Tom and all his associatates have worked hard to give the owners what they want, while making the course better. Many will bemoan the loss of a Flynn masterpiece, but the course had been bastardized over the years and some of the new stuff would have fit in perfectly on any vintage 1980's Florida retiremant course. Many trees, planted ove3r the years, were removed giving the course a more open feel and providing views across the marsh from many areas of the course.Tom worked hard to give the greens an interesting flavor and I think those that drop enough loot in the Casino will enjoy them. Check out 2,6,7,12 for subtle (heck they are flat compared to Lost Dunes and intesting workAs for the bunkers, the original bunkers had been largely grassed over. they were immense, shallow (2 to 4 feet deep) flat- bottom bunkers. Tom attempted to give the bunkers a more dramatic flair, while paying homage to Mr. Flynn. The bunkering was somewhat compromised in my opinion by a desire to have an Augusta/Shadow creek look, and an opportunity to have a more rugged edge bunker with a more coastal feel was lost when those "above" Tom decided what a Flynn bunker looked like.The bunkers are still very cool in places (I built many of them, with obvious input from all the talent at Rennaisance, while shaping this course for five months. Which is where my "knowledge" comes from)Tom made some neat modifications to the routing on the back nine which bring the marsh into play, and an old, long abandoned tee has been reincorported to the new 14th to take the player far out into the marsh. It will be interesting to see how this project is classified, as a remodel, or as a new course, but either way it IS better than it was (although the 600 members who were booted from there longtime club when it was sold, may disagree)and if it were not for Tom Doak and everyone at Renaissance I shudder to imgine what could have happened.
