DAKOTA DUNES, SD - Rebuilding and fixing is the goal at the Dakota Dunes Golf Course, one of many places nearly destroyed when the Missouri River flooded this summer.
As the Dunes tries to get the course back, it's a balancing act between golf and flood protection.
When the Dakota Dunes Country Club opened back up in September, there were a few things missing on that Arnold Palmer designed course, like holes 17 and 18.
"This isn't something you see every day and it is a bit of a unique challenge," says Brandon Johnson, a Senior Design Architect with the Arnold Palmer Design Company.

The Palmer Course will always be the draw. The marketing tool to "play where the pros play" resonates with everyday players.

Two years after renovation, Bay Hill Club & Lodge's Championship Course looks better than ever
October 28, 2011
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Even two years later, the renovation of the Bay Hill Club & Lodge continues to be praised and cherished.
Critics have blasted changes at some other high-profile tournament courses -- notably Dubsdread at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club near Chicago and the West Course at the Wentworth Club in England -- but not Bay Hill.
Members, guests, managers and, most important, the PGA Tour pros who tee it up every March in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, have embraced Palmer's thoughtful work to the bunkers and green complexes. The new grass on the greens, Emerald Bermuda, has been deemed "the right fit" by all. The renovation, which was completed Sept. 10, 2009, gives the King another reason to celebrate his birthday each year.

Top 100 You Can Play Up Close: Deacon's Lodge at Grand View
September 08, 2011
Arnold Palmer may have learned the game from his father in Latrobe, Pa., but Minnesota is where he built a course named for the man. Opened in 1999, the Deacon's Lodge course is the most demanding and popular layout at the Grand View Lodge resort, two hours north of Minneapolis. Built on 499 secluded acres, the almost completely wooded layout feels more like a private club. Extremely wide fairways lead to larger than average greens, and waste bunkers are prevalent throughout. Swirling winds provide another obstacle, as do a handful of wilderness lakes that some tee shots are required to carry.
