Hole4: The split fairway remains on the drive, but now the right-side of the divide features trees and shrubs and rocks instead of rough hills; Green resmoothed; Hole touched up
Hole6: Significant overhaul; No longer a sloppy fairway.; Green complex completely redone w/ new trap and green contouring.; Fairway changed, bunker added; Etc.
Hole7:; Not much changed...new trees and planting.; Redone rough around the green.; Resculpted backdrop.; Same fun pin location!

Great course Dale. I don't recall playing the original, but this version is excellent. I really thought the use of colors, the planting, the theme and the ponds and streams just tied together so well and it just felt like an authentic golf experience. And the layout is as such, that it could be enjoyable for anyone. Nice work, really enjoyed it.
