Old Golf Courses versus Newer Ones
Different golfers have different preferences. Some love to visit some old ancient course that is steeped in history and tradition. They love nothing but to savor the atmosphere and listen to the legends and tales some of which can only be labeled as rumors.
Other types of golfers prefer the modern courses built and designed by leading golf architects who often do a wonderful job of building course based on certain themes which hardly interfere with the original surroundings and physical attributes. Many times, they produce very fascinating sites.
The popularity of the golf game is definitely on the rise if the new golf courses coming up all the time are anything to go by. Still there are quite a number of very old golf courses in the country that are steeped in history and tradition that are still going strong. Some have had to undergo renovations to keep up with the times. For instance Highland Park is no doubt the oldest golf course in the state of Alabama having been
established way back in 1903 under the name of Country Club of Birmingham.
In 1998 Highland park went through a vigorous restoration by well know architect Bob Cupp. The work of Mr Cupp had the desired effect of enhancing an already beautiful course that had stood the test of time. Highland Park still sparkles from that restoration today but still retains its' rich history and tradition.
Admittedly the frequent restoration work of older courses is an admission of one particular weakness in these courses. And that is they are often not able to compete with newer courses in terms of facilities, which seem to be much more important these days than in the old days.
Still old golf courses have one wonderful thing going for them. And that is the fact they have stood the test of time, which many modern day golf ranges with all their impressive amenities have not.
