The renovations done on Riley last summer are finally starting to mature and the course is excellent. The only thing that still needs time is for the new greens to get less firm and accept approach shots better. That will happen over time as the greens are aerating a few times. Laurel Valley is going through the same renovations this summer and I believe they plan to renovate Cherry Hill in 2024. The greens at Lopez are a great example of how nice they become a couple years after the renovations. Golf on : )
