Interestingly, the aerial photo is labeled 2009, but that's the 9-hole course before we changed it. It was VERY tight.
However, Will is not quite right that there was "never a golf hole" on this site. The original Aetna Springs course had covered more ground and was reduced to what shows up in the aerial in order to save costs.
When I did the re-routing for the course I did not know what the original routing looked like [as far as I know, no map exists], but it turned out that all three of my new holes had been part of the original course! We found the remains of sand greens on both the sixth and seventh holes [it was between the green pictured and the seventh tee], and a vintage postcard turned up showing what is now the fourth hole, a little par-3 into a canyon which we accidentally restored.
It is not a great surprise that we wound up back in the old slots for some holes considering the narrow space we had to work with. What's now the sixth fairway was a narrow corridor through some big live oaks, and that corridor must have been cleared by the original architect 100 years ago. It would take a terrific tee shot to get the view of the green posted in the first photo ... most people will approach from much further back, so the shot is semi-blind. Leaving the tree on the left helped short hitters locate the green, though I am sure we would not have been allowed to remove it if I'd wanted to.
Because of the trees and the tight spaces, we did many things differently on this site than we normally would. There are only about 15 small bunkers for nine holes. The eighth green is about 2500 square feet, surely the smallest I will ever design. However, the course has a ton of "design interest" as Mr. Brauer would say.
Sadly, its sister 18-hole project is barely clinging to life due to zoning issues, and may not get built, which would be a real shame. That one might have an all-Doak par-3 ... a tiny green at the confluence of two small streams.
