Wouldn't it have just been better to make those pilings higher that protect the green from the creek? It seems to me that when these got wet and the water seeped into the ground below that the ground would just stay wet because the water wouldn't be able to evaporate through the artifical turf, so it would be soggy underfoot and probably lead to erosion of it's own?

It looks weird, but if it helped to keep the course playable I'd be cool with it no doubt about that. Does look like a cool course though.

This area floods and has potential to flash flood. Two years ago almost if not all of the bridges on the creek holes were destroyed. They have tried mulch, grass, etc. Hopefuly this will work. If not you pull it up and try again. Some pics of the bridge damage. Im glad that the have the funds to fix damage like this. Some courses would not get this kind of love.

Haha Thanks guys! I should have made it more realistic and played from out of those Cabbage Palms! LOL I can honestly say that is one of the few that is not photoshop. If it was, it would probably have a lightsaber in it or something like me putting off the Jeopardy stage. ...I may have to do that last one.
