I wonder how much of what was seen, survived.
9OAKLAND HILLS (South)3In 2002, I was given a clubhouse tour by the club historian as part of a Donald Ross Society event. The walls were adorned with mesmerizing black and white aerials that showed a course with spacious playing corridors draped across a landscape that resembled a roiling sea. Large scale bunkers were cut into upslopes at the most diverse and interesting places. Courtesy of a phenomenal Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner restoration in 2020, I played that very course in 2021. Its already world-famous greens were expanded by over 30% as part of the restoration, leaving them without peer.
