Evidentally, they must have switched the 9's for some reason. #8 (the par 3 in the bottom picture) and #9 were located on an "off landfill" piece of land thatwas used as a location for the irrigation reservior since building a lake on a landfill is costly and potentially problematic. Although common belief is that landfills settle the most in the first few years, this isn't the case. I have settlement occuring annually 15 yrs after closure on a course I manage in the Chicago area.
