For the money they've blown on this one little mediocre par-3 on the Northside, I bet they could have fixed the divots and ball marks on every other course in the system.
So if you get disgusted with the shape of your local course, come on up and have a gander at mine! Just leave your clubs at home!

Agree Briarwood was renovated this past summer. Do question why it was renovated. It was one of the best conditioned exec courses in TV. No way they paid or budgeted $5,000,000 for this work. Most, if not all, of the courses have been renovated in the 300K range. New 72 par courses can cost $5,000,000.
