I hope so, and I think so, to an extent. The renovation at Wolf River was definitely inspired by Diamond Springs and The Loop. I still think courses that look like those are rare, though, so a majority of golfers in the state haven't seen them.
This was a great read! For many (me included), it starts with the condition of the teeing area and the greens. Everything else, we look at with a nod of understanding. But if the teeing area is decently maintained, and the greens roll nicely (not fast, but true), you're half way there. Keep muni's fun and affordable, they are so important to growing the game!
Do you think the impact of less-instensive maintenance, like at Diamond Springs, could have an effect on other courses?
