Thanks, Matt. Great write-up that gets me ever more excited for the course to re-open. My biggest concern is tee time availability. It may become a real challenge to get on along the lines of Harding Park. But maybe I’m overestimating the potential popularity for a short course.
I'm not entirely sure when the alternate routing was put into place, but yes, this is a return to the original routing. The change was possibly in 2013, when the First Tee took over operations, but I was under the impression that it changed in the late 90's. I'll update here if I can find anything definitive.

When was the routing changed? I played GGP growing up in the mid-to-late 90s, and all the holes seem to be the same order as they were back then.
Thanks for sharing the pics and review - renovation looks amazing.
