The board last week approved the plans by Gil Hanse "to enhance our golf facilities and restore its historic Lake course".  Work to begin the second half of 2022. 


A new short game area and the Lombard Street style putting course are also included.


No word on the renovation of the Ocean course as of now.

Joel,
What iteration of the design will it be restored back to?  Have you seen the plans?

How does Hanse do it all? He seems to have a ton of jobs at the moment.

I had an email with him last year and he mentioned the 1930s. Trouble with Olympic is that certain holes changed for only a year or two when Whiting was the superintendent so Gil and Geoff will have plenty of options. It's not black or white.


I'm certain he will restore the bunkers Jones filled in prior to the 1955 and 1966 US Open (4,9,11,14,18) and hopefully bring back the sandy waste areas on 11 and 16.


The obscene deep bunkers will also be removed.
