New tee signs

Since the Master Plan renovation was completed last season, we were due for new tee signs to mark each hole. Last week, our new signs arrived and they are out on the course now.

The signs are similar composition to the in-ground plaques that are on the tee surfaces as well as the 100, 150, and 200 in-ground plaques in the fairways. We were able to work with the same manufacturer to get a consistent look throughout the course. They knew our color schemes and style, so the design process was very simple.

We elected to go with a simple design for both the sign shape and the post. The signs need to contain the basic hole information including yardages and par, but we did not feel the need to include maps of each hole layout or further additions. As for the posts, we did opt to go with a decorative cap and base combination to add some distinction. These provide a nice finished look.

Of course, a majority of our play is members who do not need information regarding hole number and par. However, for those golfers, it still can be attractive. But, for the rounds consisting or golfers who have never played Bretton Woods, having each hole marked will aid in their enjoyment of our facility. So, next time you play, keep an eye out for the new signs.
