Does the same apply to Kingsbarns?  I've heard several criticize it in large part because it doesn't fit they eye when looking beyond its borders making it hard to maintain the illusion of it being natural.


P.S.  I thought CB was fantastic, regardless of the condition of the grass on its greens.  Anyone have any pics of the site pre-construction?

Kalen,

What was the land of our beloved Wingpointe prior?


Pretty much dead flat Mike, and it remained so for the most part other than low mounding between holes.  Now that its been closed for ~3 years, mother nature is actively reclaiming it.  You wouldn't know where any of the greens or tees were and some of the hole corridors unless you've played it before.


Still bummed it was one of the casualties, given the amount of otherwise mundane courses still open in Northern Utah...


Good news... it's reopening.

That is excellent, Phillip.  Thanks for sharing!
