Mount Vintage new nine coverage in The Augusta Chronicle

The new nine has five sets of tees and plays to a par of 36. It measures 2,634 yards from the senior tees to 3,614 from the back tees. For women, the course plays 2,335 yards.

The Independent nine features the same kind of stonework on bridges and around water that is found on the original 18.

Jackson said the project cost a little more than $4 million. But he said it was well worth it.

"I think it's going to be the most beautiful nine we have," he said. "The owners were very gracious and didn't keep us from spending the money we needed to make it right."
