This year's Goodwin will be held at Harding Park, another nice tribute to Sandy Tatum. 

Apparently just a one-year deal, necessitated by renovations to the Stanford Golf Course this coming spring.  Perhaps others can elaborate?

That is correct.  The golf course is undergoing a year long renovation, one to two holes at a time.  It will not be complete in time to host the Goodwin next spring.  All bunkers are being replaced, rebuilt, and in some cases moved.  As an example, the right fairway bunker on #1 is being moved 40 yards out and towards the fairway.  It will present a real risk/reward decision for the bombers.  The right fairway bunker on #2 is being relocated as well.  Lots of grumbling about some of the changes.

Irrigation is being replaced, too.

Currently, #1 is closed and #2 is a 150 yd par 3 from a temporary tee in the middle of the fairway.  #19, the practice hole to the right of #18, is the new finishing hole.

It is fantastic that the Goodwin found a worthy temporary home in Harding Park. 

The women are hosting an NCAA regional next spring; I guess that puts a drop-dead date on completion of the renovation.
