Yeah the Reestoration is what many people hate about it. We also aren’t done…some changes may be happening for the BMW to keep up with the length these guys hit it. Some bunkers may be pushed further down the fairway. Kinda sucks because it’s a course designed to challenge the best but the best these days make it look like a pitch and putt because length simply doesn’t matter anymore.
I’d love for a modern architect to have a look at it and throw some ideas out there but the club simply won’t ever abandon the Rees Jones gang…at least for now. It really is a great piece of property and could be an unreal golf course.
I’ll say this though. The greens in 18 were dogshit. Tiger would have missed the cut by a MILE if that championship was played with current conditions. The greens can be unholdable at times from the rough and firm greens are the courses only defense. We didn’t have that in 18.
