We had a recent RIP course come back from the dead. Same piece of land but entirely different layout. It was gone a good 5+ years. Timg opted to resurrect the existing listing rather than start a new one. The old reviews (and there wasn't that many) were wiped.
In another case, we had an 18 holer get reduced to nine. Again, the old listing was recycled, but this time the old reviews stayed.
In both cases, no new reviews have been submitted.
A course reopens after 5yrs of resting in peace.... sounds like it should be classified as a Zombie course. I bet that has not happened many times Scarpy. Kiwanis in Tx doesn't say it was redesigned even though it has the correct year for the redesign as the yr established. I think original 9 was designed in the early 2000s.
