Concerning Belmont, it's a very small and inexpensive "improvement" in the overall cost of maintaining a golf course, but I was really impressed with the visual difference the use of very large river rocks and white "boulders" have made on nearly every hole as a landscape touch. Any bare, all dirt, muddy, exposed area has, to me, done so much for adding a bit of "class", or to make it seem more like a well maintained course rather than a cow pasture. I'm sure some think ALL the dollars should go to fairways and greens, but just wanted to comment that I think it looks very nice with these small touches to the landscape.
