Most notable are the removal of Palmetto palms on the right side of No. 1 and left side of No. 9. One-third of an acre (14,400 sq. ft.) was also recaptured on the putting surfaces, returning them to the native design Jack Nicklaus and his team implemented 16 years ago. The layout reopened last November to rave reviews. For more information, please visit www.pgaresort.com or call 800.863.2819.
