Florida golf in pictures: Seminole Golf Course in Tallahassee

Seminole Golf Course in Tallahassee underwent a dramatic renovation two years ago that transformed the track. Built in the 1960s, the old layout was showing its age; all the greens wore their original turfgrass. With them, north Florida architect Bob Walker essentially started from scratch - they were bulldozed, redesigned and rebuilt with with TifEagle ultra dwarf.

Walker gave 'Nole management its money's worth. The new greens are the highlight of the golf course, elevated, multi-tiered, slanted, sloped and undulating. They're relatively large, and no two are alike. Some of the breaks are subtle and hard to read; some are radical, and harder to read. There are some three-breakers out here, and some heartbreakers and knee-knockers. None are unfair, they're just fun and fast.

Walker also designed all-new tee boxes, with five sets that help the non-gorillas get around the course, which measures slightly less than 7,0000 yards from the back tees.
