Return after a long absence

I heard this place got a face lift that would return the course to its original glory. It had deteriorated over the years: particularly the bunkers and greens.
The sand in the bunkers was replaced with new usable sand which is a plus. The greens were in excellent shape and fast. They held the shots played in from the air but if you bumped them on they ran like crazy. The fairways were in good shape given that we hadn't had rain in weeks.
If you are familiar with the place, the course is a target layout. If you hit the targets you can score. If you miss the targets, bogies and doubles await. Count on a 5 hour round just based on the course.
I am disappointed that with these renovations, the price increased significantly. Without significant discounts I can't afford to play here. I guess either can anyone else because there couldn't have been more than 100 people there all day.

Golf week

We stay in GR for a week on a golf trip. This was one of many excellent courses we played. While playing another course with a local, he highly recommended we play here. We were not disappointed. Course was in great shape though I here there was lack of rain for a while. Couldn't tell by the course conditions. The greens were in great shape and rolled true.
