There are too many "RE's" renovation, restoration, remodle,redo etc.
The problem is where do you fraw the line. For example:
take Cog Hill #4 - I picked this because the link to Rees's masterplan is given above. What is it? Most of the bunkers and all the tees are shown to be "Rebuilt" some bunkers are moved up or into the fairway, some new tees are added, some greens are pushed back but exhibit roughly the same form/bunkering. A new pond and casacading stream are added.
Some would say it is a renovation because some ofthe features are moved/added. But an aurguement could be that enough has changed that it is a remodel. Others could say it's a restoration because Rees is "recapturing lost pin placements and just adjusting the hazards to reflect how the course was originally setup to play in light of the equipment in use at the time of design.
Naperville CC, it is my understanding blew up the old course and basically built a new course in the old corridors. SHould this be a renovation or new construction?
I guess I have a hard time wrapping my head around just what a "renovation" really is.
