AROUND THE GREENS: Rave reviews for renovation work at Redwood Meadows yyc
But I’ll also start bragging about the Par-5 sixth assignment, now one the highlights of your round and a prime example of some of the subtle changes that have only bolstered what was already a really good layout.
Redwood Meadows was a construction zone for most of last season as Gary Browning — the same Calgary-based designer responsible for overseeing the restoration work at Kananaskis Country — and his crew ripped up and then reshaped and resodded every green on this picturesque property. “What I think is cool is you see pins that never existed before,” Black said. “They look like they’re hidden over a bunker or buried on an edge, but they’re actually — for a good shot — some of the easier pins because you can use the slope now to feed a ball to it. On the old greens, the way they were kind of caved into the middle, you couldn’t put a pin on an edge because it would have been right on a big slope and it would have been unfair.
This semi-private setup is still a stern test for the single-digits and, thanks to the removal of several bunkers that primarily picked off poor shots and the addition of some mowed-low chipping and collection areas, is now more friendly for the high-handicappers.
