They re configured many holes(#1 is now a par 4 instead of 5 and yes, new greens)

Excellent condition and worth the drive.

Par still 72 with 1 being a par 4?

How’d they do that? Used to be a fairly short par 4. Tee off across the street and pushed the green back?

I played it a couple weeks ago and wasn’t impressed with with the changes. I guess they were trying to make the course a little easier which I really don’t understand because it wasn’t overly difficult before. Hole 2 was a much better hole before the changes IMO. They could’ve just taken out some of the slope on that green and left it at that. Hole 12 they moved the tee so far up that you can hit three wood straight over the green.

I think the greens are going to be really nice once they’ve had a chance to soften up but I would’ve probably just changed some of the slopes and adjusted the bunkers and left it at that.

There have been complaints about that losing the old number 2 but part of getting a renovation was selling those lots where that old green was to pay for it. So they couldn’t just change the slope.

Hole 12 is a drivable par 4 but it’s 280ish from the blues. You hitting your 3 wood over that?! Impressive! I love having a drivable par 4. It’s one thing we were missing.

Greens are hard. Hopefully they soften up soon. The course is nice overall. I think the anticipation and the dollar amount spent might have some wondering where the money went if you haven’t played it in the past but I assure you they definitely did a nice job on renovating. I hope they don’t stop. The pitching practice area needs work badly.

How are the fees compared to Beau Chene in Mandeville?

I live off 59 and am considering joining a club. MH is a little farther for me but not unreasonable, just curious about price differences.
