Pat, Hanse Design turned in a Master Plan not long ago but they have decided to go it alone (last I heard)

The original course was very interesting, but Pat, you are an expert in Macdonald / Raynor and if you had gone up there a couple years ago and I didn't tell you who built the course, I doubt if you could identify a blade of Raynor grass on the course.

I just hope they do the right thing - the course could be great. A couple of great 3's are gone. They'd have to bit the bullet to restore the course to a semblance of it's original design.

I would have loved to do that course.
If a player insists on playing his maximum power on his tee-shot, it is not the architect's intention to allow him an overly wide target to hit to but rather should be allowed this privilege of maximum power except under conditions of exceptional skill.

Tom,

Essentially, three, all par 3's.

The 3rd,   a short
The 13th, a reverse redan
The 17th, an eden.

# 12 is named "Cape" but, it doesn't bear a reasonable resemblance to a template "cape"
