My guess is it will be stagnant and overgrown until he loses it. Heard there were others out there that want to revive it.
Sorry to hear that. It was a beautiful course in a beautiful setting. Didn't it have the split fairway on #18?

Yes. Number 9 or 18 depending on when you played it. That was an awesome hole.

All the course needed was to be bush-hogged every so often and just wait for someone to take a chance. Only issue would have been to resurface the greens.
Just terrible neglect.
Now how impressive would it be to have those 2 courses across the river from each other?

That’s not all it needed. It had severe erosion issues and sand boils and their cart paths were buckling from tree roots just to name a few. Years of a high Thompson Creek wreaked havoc on 1,2,3,17 and was beginning to take 18. Can’t tame Mother Nature.

All true.
But what does it need now? To be bulldozed and start from scratch.
That takes False River money!

It needs new irrigation, new cart paths, new bulk heads and bridges in spots, new traps, and new greens.
18 needs a decision. Make a par 4 or do some serious work to tame the creek when it gets high to not wipe out the green if a par 5
The original 419 bermuda fairways could be salvaged with 12 months and playable. The holes that people cut have good bermuda.
The longer it sits the more money will be needed for club house remediation and other buildings
My guess is whoever buys it will need to spend 15M to bring it back.
It could be brought back in sub par conditions with fixing irrigation, cutting, new greens . And fixing the bridges etc. Probably still 4M
