Thanks @rspeck77 for sharing this info!

Hope it will be a positive step for this course and the Big Cats overall!

That's great news, hopefully it is the start of bringing the 4 courses back to must plays, especially Tiger & Leopard.

If the Big Cats begin and continue better maint of their courses,
as the article says, it will be like adding 4 courses to the MB roster,
since most of us had removed them from our play list. 
Alan's article is a great update.  
  
As you are reminded in the article, the other 3 Big Cats courses, 
got new greens in recent years.   But we also see the poor reports.   
Time will tell if the courses get/stay maintained how they should be.    
   
LC also needs a real clubhouse, instead of a trailer.

@artmbgolf 

I'll take better greens over replacing the trailer...but I agree with you.

LC is ready to re-open.

I played Leopard's Chase on Saturday September 16. Greens were awesome - a little slow, but that's to be expected since they've just been installed. I was very impressed with the layout too. Only issue was the condition of the bunkers. It looked like some of them had not been touched the entire time the course was closed. We just took free drops from them. Definitely will return, and once the greens are fully in and mowed/rolled, this will be a tough challenge for anyone.

Most agree LC is a good design.   
   
Below is a video of LC.  The article is recent, but I don't really think 
the video is recent.   Valefty says bunkers were not maintained, 
although they look groomed in the video.   The photos show a link 
with a 6/2019 date.  The fairways look like overseed and the rough 
looks just greening up, like we might see in June, not Sept.   
   
The video might be from the last time they renovated.
