One of the main objectives for our greens renovation project was to increase the size of the putting green behind #1 tee box. This green has long been a popular spot for golfers to spend some time while they wait for their tee time at the first tee. On busy weekend mornings, there can be quite a few people trying to use this green. The biggest issue we've had over there is that the green is way too small. If more than a few people try to use it at a time, it gets too crowded to be useful. I knew if we were going to keep the green, we needed to take the opportunity and make it more functional. The new green will be considerably bigger than the old one. As you can see from the picture above, this green will increase in size from approximately 900 sq.ft. to 3,000 sq.ft! With such a large increase in size, we expect to be able to have 2-3 holes on that green and be able to handle a lot more golfers, which will help give everyone somewhere to practice on those busy weekend mornings. We cannot wait to unveil this new practice green to our members and guests this fall!
