GOLF COURSE RENOVATIONS
In 1921, architect Stanley Thompson designed a gem of a golf course in Tecumseh, Ontario, Beach Grove Golf and Country Club.
Like many courses designed during the “Golden Era of Golf”, practice areas were often short, narrow pieces of leftover land or non-existent. Golfers in today’s society face time constraints for a myriad of reasons and look for additional avenues of golf enjoyment other than the traditional eighteen holes. Clubs are looking for additional sources of services and revenue to remain vital to their golfers.
We have developed a plan for Beach Grove Golf and Country Club which includes a large practice facility, short game area and nine hole short course for beginners and juniors.
The design came to fruition by listening to the Club’s concerns, consultation with the Stanley Thompson Society. A creative plan for the future was developed that synchronizes the traditions of the past and solves present perplexities of the golf course.
GOLF COURSE RENOVATION PROJECTS
“Remodeling projects are often undertaken
on golf courses to solve functional problems, improve
aesthetic quality or affect playability. To ensure
the project produces the desired results, planning is
essential. Benefits of a properly
planned project include higher quality finished construction,
lower implementation costs, increased playability and attractive
visual character.”
