One would think that, but unfortunately that is not the way it appears to be done here. We played Briarwood this past Sunday, which had just re-opened after a period of months and the expenditure of well over half a million dollars undergoing "renovation", and other than some sod put down around some of the greens and two sections of concrete golf path (about 20' each) replaced, it looked no different than it had before "renovation" started, other than of course looking better than most courses given that it had had no player traffic on it for some time.

One has to wonder. Briarwood was easily one of the more attractive and well-kept courses even before this "renovation". Yet it was closed while some courses in significantly worse shape remained open.
