Name That Course

Thanks to reader Scott for this story about an interesting conversion of a lousy piece of ground into an affordable muni.

And also the weird online naming contest that was held, resulting in, well, a weird name.

Did I miss something? No mention was made in the 2 links of the golf course architect.

God bless them for building a course that's affordable ($35-39) and presumably playable (6500 yards from the tips).

I have discovered that there is no architect! Wait until this course wins "Best New Affordable." What will GD do?

There isn't one. It was done by the golf arm of the fly ash company that originally owned the land. Mike says 3-4 guys could have designed several holes each, he doesn't know. But he and his people have only had to do some slight tweaking to the design, like moving some of the greens closer to the lakes to bring the water more in play (like I need that). Jim
