The bunkers will be addressed next and the work on the Moor will be extensive. Hearn wants to create more angles and options for shots and adjust the course for changes in length. There’ll be new pin placement options on the greens, plus new run-up areas to the putting surfaces. Ken Griffin, Boyne’s Director of Golf Sales and Marketing, calls the changes, “subtle but significant.” Sounds like a new course might be in the making, but Hearn says that’s not the case. “I just like great golf. I’m not trying to put the Ray Hearn stamp on this,’’ he said. “I’m trying to create a throwback to a golden age look and feel – a tribute to that era.’’ Behind the Highland Lodge, Hearn will design a new par-3 course that will eliminate the modest one currently on the site. Boyne is joining the country-wide trend of building new short courses, Michigan Golf Journal
