The course now features tall pine trees and oak trees. Everything had overgrown between fairways. The third thing is, we've opened up the views. All the greens have been re-grassed and rebuilt to original sizes, bringing the greenside bunker complexes back into play. It's the first time I've been involved in a restoration project.
People are having fun playing the course, it's esthetically beautiful again, it's open.
I think it's great. The Copperhead is the site of the JCPenney Classic Nov. 29-Dec. 5. In 2000, it will be host to a new PGA Tour event, Oct. 16-22. The Island course stretches to 7,100 yards with the forward tees measuring 5,578 yards. As the name suggests, there is plenty of water.
