I'd like to play more of his courses though also Coore/Crenshaw, who share a similar take on design and history.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-12679986525432729262015-01-14T12:08:23.744-05:002015-01-14T12:08:23.744-05:00Huge fan of Doak, and finding his book in high sch...Huge fan of Doak, and finding his book in high school back in the 90's in the St. Paul public library was a great eye opener for me. I've since went with building architecture but always appreciate a well designed golf course.

All around a really nice resort, though I'm curious what it will be like in 10-15 years, if its early popularity will lead it to expand beyond its now compact size. After all they have many more acres to work with. Could be alright if it's handled similar to what is there now, but could have the opposite effect if it goes another route. (Just a thought I didn't mention in my posts.)<br />Best,<br />JohnJohn Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-30463160558579213662015-01-09T12:01:30.162-05:002015-01-09T12:01:30.162-05:00John,
