Does Bartlett Hills still have any of these greens left?
« on: February 27, 2014, 10:41:49 AM »
I looked at Google maps and could guess where a few were but don't see any other than the heart one possibly still around.  Is this really a viable option for a green chairman other than in Las Vegas?  Course was claimed to have been designed by Charles Maddox/Frank P. MacDonald.

Have not been there for a number of years (caddied in a US Open local in early 90s), but do not recall seeing anything like these photos. . .

If those greens still exist they're much smaller and the bunkering is all but lost.  The first one I believe may still be in existence, such as it is.  Still retains some old school features and is one of the better munis in the area IMO.  Who is Frank MacDonald?

Played the CDGA Publinx there a few years ago and don't remember seeing anything resembling those greens.
