Went To See What Could Be Seen
The last time I played the course, formerly know as Park Mammoth, it was days away from being placed up for auction. As I walked off the 18th green, I stopped to take in, one last time, what once was a very serene landscape and reflect upon the memories created over the years, knowing things were bound to change and Park Mammoth, as I knew it, would be no more.
It’s been more than 18 months since that fall day, the property is under new ownership, and according to the social media updates over the past few months, it’s obvious things have definitely changed. Although the footprint looked to remained the same, what was is no more. And, what will be looks to be a complete redesign, including the re-routing of several holes, building 19 new putting greens, 50 new tee boxes, and 25 new sand bunkers, and the installation of a new irrigation system. Therefore, with a targeted September opening, a day trip was planned to go see what we could see.
It was a day that started with anticipation and it bit of sadness knowing that the old course was gone; as well as, excitement about seeing the changes that have taken place. And, this is what I discovered!
