Michael et al,
Thanks for the interest. I just got back from Meadow last night, where we finished up the work for this year. Next year, we have holes 7, 13, and 15 to complete the course. After that, I hope to look more closely at adding some additional tee options that have been postponed these past few years and work on the trees (not an easy subject at any club!).
As noted above, the bunker aesthetic is quite different from other MacKenzie work -- I don't know why it is, but we are very accurate in our renditions from the photos we have. The green contours are as they were in 1927, all we have done is re-establish them to their original margins -- they are very fun to play. The 3rd green, which we did earlier this year, is the only surface that had been altered over the years and we had to rebuild the entire putting surface due to agronomic reasons.
Greywalls in Marquette, MI, will be opening to limited play in October this fall and full opening in the spring of 2005. Mines GC in Grand Rapids, MI, will open in summer of 2005, as Joe said.
Good golfing!
Mike
PS Yes, there are rock outcroppings from small to large around the golf course. The most prominent is the "Rock" at the beverage station in the center of the property, near the 6th and 12th greens; 7th, 13th, and 16th tees.
