Old Shores Golf Resort

https://linksmagazine.com/new-florida-golf-resort-old-shores-announces-plans-for-multiple-courses/

Just now hearing about this new development from Keiser and Co. First course is underway, being built by Tom Doak, and it was just announced that Brian Schnieder will be handling the second 18. Excited to see this as I often vacation down in the panhandle, and golf in that area is mediocre at best.

The interesting bit is "Keiser says [Schnieder's] layout is inspired by Augusta National as it existed in the 1930s when Perry Maxwell extensively renovated seven greens with bold internal contouring." We will see about that.

Also curious to see how walkable Tom's course is. Keiser has put an emphasis on walkability at his previous resorts, but Tom's routing does look a bit like a hike in the Florida heat.

Also interested to see how they handle drainage. Lots of sand soil in those next of the woods, but there's also plenty of rain and a shallow water table. Some of the images Linksoul shared made the property look pretty wet.

I'm sure the courses we'll be very exciting, and I am sure the online golf world will have many opinions. Hope to check them out alongside a few eggheads at a future FEG Event.
