Editor’s Memo

  • Revival of the Fittest

    Publisher's Note

  • Carbon-Based Life Forms and Water
    Water and water management will be the touchstones of good course management for the foreseeable future. It is incumbent on all of us to be fully educated on what is coming down the pipeline.

    Features

  • Inverness CC Rises from the Ashes
    Where there was smoke, there was a fire that destroyed a clubhouse—and most of a club’s history—in less than two hours. But it couldn’t snuff out the owners’ and members’ spirit, or resolve.
  • The Reawakening of Bedford Springs Resort
    History slept here, and for almost too long—but then it got a $120 million wakeup call.
  • Binks Forest GC Bounces Back from the Brink
    In less than 20 years, this Florida course has gone from being one of the industry’s hottest layouts to a weed-bound poster property for the post-boom era—and now back again.
  • North Hills Club Gets Back in the Game
    Golf has never been an option for this “land-locked” property—but failure almost was, until members and staff committed to making the most of the space they had.
  • MORE Where That Came From
    Other inspiring stories from the year, along with a look at some eagerly anticipated new arrivals, and some trends of note.
