Bill I'm sure we could get a group to play there , it's tight and sporty , as they say. Lots of trees , fantastic playing conditions over the last decade.
When I caddied there in the late 60's, early 70's (oops , could I be that old) there were obviously less trees and they played the nines in reverse order of what they do today. I rather liked the old routing , but someone must have decided that the front was the stronger side and reversed them. I'm for guys playing better on the return, as they finish happier.
Greens have been changed , starting with the third (then 12) , seven (16) and fifteen (6) . Par has stayed the same , with significant changes expansions to the putting surfaces on all three holes. Of them, only three looks as if it was close to the original design intent. Both 7 and 15 were small pod like greens that were very very flat , and really blended right into the ground . The 7th was reworked in the mid seventies if memory serves me and was a stark contrast to the original, which was quite innocuous. It was hard to hold and smallish , prompting the change by the green committee , most of whom had to hit furniture to the small green.
The golf course is tons of fun, and in a great location devoid of lots of options relative to the population. It should be a busy , bustling place . We can get a nice group together and visit my childhood work home. More to come!
