Bump for Scott B and newbies.  I've moved most of the articles to a different server so they again are showing.

Joe,

I'm glad you resurfaced this, because I definitely missed it the first time around.  Very cool stuff.  Thanks as always for sharing.

Thanks for posting!  What a fun looking course but holy cow, those cart paths need to be ripped up immediately.

I wonder how the bunkering on these hole drawings compares with what was "restored" recently??

Great find Joe - thank you for sharing,

Chris


Played Engineers again late last night yesterday-first time in 15 years.
As I was walking to my car clubs in tow a member asked me "why would you play that dogtrack"?


wow! What a golf course it is.


I've looked at a couple of old threads.
Is Tripp Davis the current architect?


Great tree work has opened incredible course wide vistas.Have left some very attractive huge oaks.
Incredible undulating fairways.Great variety.great elevation change.
Greens were always wild-curious if they were "modernized" for modern green speeds.
I seem to recall a few of the greens being wilder before (#1 specifically)


Only weakness is pedestrian bunker style-round, edged bunkers that look a bit modern compared to the rest.
Maybe I'm wrong about this?

I'm guessing a member at Jeff's course said that when Jeff told him he was going to play Engineers.

Correct Carl.
The subject for another thread, but I often wonder how an architect can do anything creative cool or different, given that the average client, member, consumer is so clueless and seeking matching homogonization with the course next door.


Ironically I did speak to two Engineers members on the course and expressed my admiration for the course and how great I thought it was.
