Good piece by Matt Ginella on "natural selection" at major golf resorts. Following are recent and upcoming developments -- some news, some we've heard about before.

Pebble Beach
--Plans to rework right side of 13 green to add more pin placements
 
Bandon Dunes
--11 hole par 3 course by Tom Doak; may start construction in early 2017
--Looking at 300 acres of property north of Sheep Ranch that may serve as location for a Gil Hanse-designed course.
 
Kohler/American Club
--No update on 5th course by Pete Dye. Still going through permitting. “Not happening anytime soon.”
 
Forest Dunes
--Adding short course designed by Rick Smith.
--Whispers that Coore & Crenshaw may build an 18 hole course on the property.
 
Arcadia Bluffs
--Bought 300 acre parcel of land for second course to be built.

Nothing really new except the rumor of C&C doing a new course at FD.

It does show the limited amount of new construction in the US.
