Wow, Gil Hanse worked his magic again at the tired Colonial CC this past year. For those who dont know, the club closed Monday following the tourney last year and went under a thorough renavation, all new grass, reshaped green edges and bunkers, with Holes 5,7,8,12,13,16 seeing the biggest changes. Hanse likes to take bunkers out and put in dry scrubby areas along w chipping areas to make the courses harder for the Pros. The changes look awesome, cant wait to incorporate these into my old Colonial, should be fun. Will use new laser green scans once available also.

Interestingly enough, the sandy waste area barranca left of #5 fwy was actually there in the 1930-40s when the course was 1st designed.
