New greens are great but already have signs of damage around edges.

I hope they take care of the new greens. They are great , putt true and fast. However, there are already signs of weakness around edges that if not controlled, can permeate the whole thing. Tee boxes are in pretty bad shape, having to tee up on bare ground on many times.

OMG!!! The new greens are nice!

I have playing here since 1999 and just love the layout. Always have. The greens before had outlived their useful lifespan and had fallen into a really sad state. Bent Creek finally did what a lot of courses just don't have the resources to do these days and completely dug up the old ones and rebuilt the greens and WOW!!! I played there yesterday and I was just blown away by how nice they are now. Congrats and very well done.

Ranger

You need a course ranger to keep things moving at a steady pace. Slower golfers should be notified by him to let faster golfers bypass. This would cause less hassle.
