I’m due to play Hillside soon and have been watching a few YouTube flyover videos and course vlogs in recent days
I’m obviously looking forward to it, and sure it will be as excellent as everyone says it is…however a couple of recent vlogs have spoken of the dramatic changes made in the last couple of years to the course
In particular I’m a bit surprised to see the seemingly modern trend of having blown out bunkers and ‘ waste areas’ on a historic links course, also like at Princes
Personally I’m not particularly a fan of this, and having seen photos of the recent work at Ganton, I think I preferred it as it was before when I played it
Opinions on this style of course renovation…It seems to be very fashionable/faddy to me
Edit: the front 9 at Aberdeen is every bit as good as is claimed, so v hopeful of the back 9 at Hillside being as good as everyone says
