Dismal River Club Flyover -- seen it?

Main menu is on the lower left corner.  Go to Golf and hit the flyover.

Personally, I like true to life images or a helicopter flyover.
What are your thoughts?

Its all computer generated.  I like the flyovers of Augusta.

The new owner is supposedly a great guy. I wish them luck. Also, the word is Jack is now a partner, too.

I wonder why Jack bought in?

Feeling guilty?

Steve, I don't know the particulars, but, I assume it was a trade out.

Shiv. I disagree with you completely. I doubt anybody but Matt Ward would be gaga over this place. The architecture is just so all wrong.

I heard one account of Jack turning to Chris and asking "What the hell did we give these people?"

I have to admit on my way to the Prairie Club this fall we are skipping DR because of this board and word of mouth.  I still will get there some day but it’s not at the top of the list when you factor in the cost/time vs. reputation.   This is not my official opinion of the course, just pointing out what an odd spot the new owners are in from a market perspective.

Boy, but when I said that after I visited it, they screamed at me for five pages:):)
