Kings North Renovations

Video of front 9 renovations.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiT7ntA-3YU
  
Note they replaced the St Andrews road hole bunker in front of the green on #5.    

It is major renovations, i like what they will do with the greens meaning more undulations, new turf installed, etc. After the next summer renovations, Kings North will be a great destination to play, like Caledonia, True Blue. 

Thanks for the article Art!

Wow -- they really screwed up the 5th hole. The deep bunker in front of the green was what made it an interesting hole; the new version looks like a significant downgrade.

I don't understand why multiple MB courses have decided to do renovations that make the course worse instead of better, especially when it comes to bunkering. This doesn't look nearly as bad as the disfiguration of Pine Lakes, but that 5th hole is pretty egregious.

The links style bunker on #5 doesn't fit the course style, but it was 
something to talk about.   The 3 small bunkers now probably need
to be raked by hand.   The big deep links bunker was too deep for 
a high %% of golfers to get out.    

New video updates of KN front 9.

It looks like those bunkers will be tougher to get out of since most look thinner/ skinnier than the big wide rounder bunker they had 

KN before, during renovation and after video.

Greens are bigger with more undulations.    Bunkers have more lip, so play like deeper.  

It will be interesting to play Kings North now. I like what has been done. 

I am excited to play this again after renovations.
