Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Sunday, August 2012 at 8am
Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore did a mostly credible job of weaving new holes into the Jimmy Demaret gem and giving it a good Onion Creek feel; two or three of the holes are unremarkable, but that's a minor quibble. Crenshaw/Coore seem to favor big, challenging greens; overall length SEEMS challenging but is mostly managable. Transistioning back to the Original layout for the final few holes is seamless and welcomed.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again
