Brian, the old course had no Biarritz, I'm 99.99999% sure.  (Would have been 100%, had you not brought up the possibility.)

Jim maybe I am just confused cause the hole is in the same spot. I only played it a few times before the renovation and I did not have a clue what a biarritz was then. ;D now I am a GCA  geek ;D

I will need to agree with Jim.  I played Forest Park dozens of times in the 1990s and there was no biarritz.

Jim,

Per #5 on Dogwood replacing old #17.  I would say that it does not play like the old #17, but it is a better hole to my eye.  It is still a short-iron shot (probably a wedge to many on here), though there is now a little more room short, and the green has some more interesting shape and slope.

I really look forward to any pictures Steve is able to post.

Anyone ever hear of a Pete Dye design on the east side called Yorktown? It's an 18 hole Par 3 that is advertised as a Pete Dye design from 1969.

One other NLE in the area is Cherry Hills -- bulldozed for housing about 5 years ago.

Yorktown is a lighted par 3 course like you said designed in 1961. I have never played there but I hear that is is pretty fun for a par 3 course. I never got to play cherry hills before the dozing.

There were a couple of courses that are NLE that my father told me about, both were south of the city. One in st louis county the other in jefferson, one was arrow point or somthing I do not recall the other.
