For those who enjoy peeking at renovations on Google Earth...


Medinah is mostly updated
Vaquero is updated
La Costa is mostly updated
East Lake is not at all
Colonial is just a tiny bit
Golden Gate Park is, but tough to see
Sharon Heights is updated
Brambles is kinda


Feel free to add your own! Tip: sometimes you can see a more recent image than the default one by clicking the historical imagery button (rewind clock icon).

I also find that Bing Maps is typically updated with newer aerials much sooner than Google Maps.

For example, Bing shows the new green at Memorial Park #17, while Google maps does not.

Thaks Matt, Google Earth golf course browsing is one of my favorite distractions.


A couple of new constructions worth noting (from web-based Google Earth):


Fall Line Club (OCM), Junction City, Ga - first eighteen complete, second eighteen under construction, some holes complete


Wicker Point (C&C), Lake Martin, Al - Most holes complete


Old Barnwell, Aiken, SC - Partial aerial

Thanks for bringing this one to our attention, Keith. Good find. The dual styles of having sandbelt and heathland inspired courses on that property adds a pretty drastic level of aesthetic variety. There's a par 3 on the northeast corner of the routing that, from overhead, could be mistaken for a London area Colt. Then, closer to the driver range, I spot a green with bunker edges directly cutting into it.


A bit surprising, too, to see holes routed along what appears to be a manufactured pond, including a water carry par 3.


On a similar theme of small membership new builds, Ladera in Thermal is now visible online as well.
