It looked like they still have a couple drainage issues. Maybe they are going to do more in the next couple weeks but as of now I would say it looks like we got ripped off.
What was the budget? I also didn't see much of an improvement. On the ninth hole, they planted bushes to the left to keep people from hitting that way. Maybe the other option "Pitch and Putt" would've been a better deal?
