I have never, ever heard of a course re-design being a total reversal of the course as described. It is fascinating in the extreme. The additional expense must have been staggering, which suggests that at least some of the decision to approach it that way was just to see if they could. It speaks volumes about why RTJ was such a revered designer. I am impressed with his vision to be able to see such an undertaking as viable and worthwhile.
