Nicklaus changes should be reworked
This course, with its important place in US golf history, is a huge disappointment. The course was redone in the early 80s by the Golden Bear himself. Unfortunately the holes lack imagination and all have a similar feel to one another. Teeing off a hill, carries over burns and greens that have the same strategic element every time. In this era, members should consider removing trees for improved turf growth, reworking the bunkers and addressing the drainage issues. There is nothing that can be done about the topography but minimizing the steep climbs would go a long way to make this an enjoyable walk. The clubhouse is nice and has a great old-school feel.
