The comments here are all good news. Seems like Shallow Creek is going to stay wide open in the afternoons for the rest of the summer.
The shade business is overblown. Shade only matters if you are waiting. No course has much shade in the fairways or over the greens. The shade, on courses with it, is over the cart paths, next to the tee boxes or along the edges of the fairways. Your find a tree to park under while you wait for others to hit. If you aren't waiting, there is not much opportunity to park in the shade.
Plus, very few are walking on the championship courses. I have lugged my bag 18 holes on a 100 degree day, its hot bordering on dangerous....no more. But, if you are in a cart you have a roof, and you are wearing a hat, and sunscreen and probably sun sleeves. To me its not that big a deal. But whatever, I am glad lots of people need shade to play, it makes it all the more uncrowded.
