40 years ago, I played my first round of golf there ever. 30 years ago, I won the high school regionals there repping LBSS. 17 years ago I carded my first hole in one there. Next year, I was looking forward to playing my first round of golf with my son there. Perhaps I will...though it's a shame what they're doing to the place.
I'll be the first one to admit that the clubhouse has been in need of replacement for the last 10 years. The driving range, I liked just the way it was. Obviously, the changes to the range will enable more year-round use with protection from the elements which should lead to a increase in incremental revenues. All good news...
It's the aesthetic that is so disturbing. I understand the golf course and facilities were built in the 50's but, it's just a shame that they had to go with such a hyper, post-modern design for the new clubhouse. This is Burke Lake Golf Course...not St. Andrews.
