Current Renovation Projects 2009

Renovation of the 6th hole is well underway.  With sod installed on the new back tee boxes, this new tee box will result in a more pronounced dog leg left.  Yardage from the back tee boxes will increase 23 yards to 370 yards.  All green side bunkers will be renovated and the right green side bunker will become a step bunker.  A new fairway bunker will be constructed on the right side 120 yards from the green.  Solutions for the drainage problem on this fairway are under review.

The completion of the 12th hole renovation which includes the extension and widening of the back tee box, adds 9 yards to make this 222 yard par 3 a real challenge.

Sod has been installed on the 18th tee box extension, adding 25 yards to the hole.  The bunker complex on the left side will change with the bunker closest to the tee being removed and the remaining bunkers moved closer to the green and in toward the fairway leading to a blind fairway shot as you approach the green.

In addition, as with all the renovations, new irrigation will be installed on the above mentioned projects.

Completed Renovation Projects 2006

New greenside irrigation system on the 5th hole. New fairway bunkers were added and green side bunkers were renovated. The 8th hole was completed with new irrigation and bunker structure. The 2nd and 14th hole both had bunker restoration and the irrigation system replaced.  The new back tees on the 2nd hole add 13 yards to this par 3.

The 14th hole back tee addition adds 20 yards completing this 219 yard par 3.

Completed Renovation Projects 2005

A new tee box on the 3rd hole added 23 yards to this par 4 resulting in a 444 yard hole that generally plays into a prevailing wind.

The renovation of the 8th hole began with the 17 yard extension to the back tees, resulting in a 184 yard tee shot into a well bunkered green.

The 15th tee box was lengthened adding 22 yards finishing off this 458 yard par 4.  Future plans are to add another 30 yards to the black tees.

The 17th hole with its new back tees adding 30 yards to this par 4, makes for a longer approach shot into this well guarded two tiered green.

Renovations at the end of 2008
