head PGA professional.
"Smart clubs are adapting
not only to the changes
in golf but to how private
clubs can use the entirety
of their facilities to enhance
the lives of busy families."
In addition to new tees,
greens and bunkers, another
major aspect of the golf course
renovation was addressing
trees and landscaping
with 50 years of age.
"Planting new trees with a
mind for how they will grow
over the next 50 years is a
major consideration," said
Tom DeGrandi, golf course
superintendent. "In addition
we are also attempting
to reduce erosion and
mitigate flood damage for
our downhill neighbors…
it is a complex challenge."
Golf course work was
contracted to Landscapes
Unlimited of Lincoln, Neb.,
whose project for Brentwood
Country Club in Los Angeles
was recognized as Renovation
of the Year in 2015 by Golf Inc.
Design for the project was
performed by golf architect
David Druzisky, ASGCA, with
landscaping and irrigation
design by Baer Design Group,
Greg Baer, PIC, PLA, and CGIA.
