As another summer approaches, so does another round of golf
course Master Plan construction. This year’s work will consist of holes 11, 12,
and 13 in their entirety as well as the tee complex for #2. We also have to
construct 2 bioswales similar to the one last year between 16 and 18 tees.
While the scope of work, timing, and other things will be very similar to
year’s past, the big difference this year is that this is the last phase of
work. Following this summer, all 18 holes and a practice bunker will have been
renovated.
Work will begin in late June near #2 tee constructing a
bioswale. All play is expected to shift to the over the water tee solely. More
intensive work will begin after the 4th of July just like in other
years. Once the early work on #2 tee is complete, focus will shift to 11, 12,
and 13.
For holes 11, 12, and 13 we will be reconstructing the tee
complexes as well as the fairway and greens bunkers. Each tee will be redone in
the rectangular style similar to other holes and sodded to Bermuda grass.
Bunkers will be completely renovated with new, working drainage, new slopes,
and a style consistent with other bunkers on the course. Some angles, bunker
placements, and tee placements will shift but there will be no major alterations
to how each hole plays.
After the work is complete on 11, 12, and 13, we will move
back to #2 and renovate the over the water tee. By this time, the original tee
that we started work on early, will be ready to handle play. This will allow
one or the other tee on #2 to be in place during all of the construction.
Below are computer renderings of the work to be done this
year. There may be slight adjustments to the final results once we are in the
field, but work will follow closely to these pictures. The drawings will also
be posted in the clubhouse as well as on the course near the tees of each hole
under construction.
