The biggest improvements to come about during the renovation were centered around drainage. Some of the other improvements were smaller in scope, but impacted play-ability no matter how much rain occurred.
The fairways on #5 and #6 were severely sloped and did not have any flat areas. These two fairways were shaped in such a way as to offer a thoughtful, well struck shot to land on a moderately flat area.
The view from #6 tee before. The fairway slopes from left to right and has a ridge running across.
They have started to shape the ridge.
Here, the tee has been final graded and the fairway is taking shape.
The view from the tee in 2017. If you look closely, you can see the flag on the green, something that could not happen before the renovation.
On this picture of #7, you can see the new bunker in front of the green as well as the trench where the new irrigation line was laid.

Here is a before picture of where the current green on #8 is located. It is deceiving, because I don't think there was actually a pond here. It was just an area that held water after rains.
The old green was covered over and an actual pond dug out.
The new green taking shape. The area right above the man's head is about where the old green was.
The fairway was graded and shaped, as well.
