Does anyone have any opinion about this Donald Ross course recently renovated by Kipp Schulties, a Florida based architect?  My recollection is that, at one point, it was part of a 36 hole club.  The other course is now the Baltimore Golf Club, a daily fee course run by the City of Coral Gables.  Biltmore was restored to the old Ross routing and look by Gil Hanse about a decade ago.

Shulties’ website shows that he completed a renovation there in ‘14.  There are a number of pictures of the work. 


I played there as a kid.  Looks like much of the Ross has been removed.

There is no Ross left. 100% Kipp course. So much Kipp down here.
