Weed Completes Florida Golf Course Renovation Projects
Weed Golf Course Design recently finished Florida renovation projects at both Pine Tree Golf Club and Brooksville Country Club.
On the east coast in Boynton Beach, Pine Tree Golf Club re-opened to members in November following a select renovation to the 1962 Dick Wilson design. Bobby Weed, ASCGA, and associate Scot Sherman molded the layout back to the flavor of the original course.
At Pine Tree, an upgrade to the irrigation system took place while all tees, fairways, greens and green surrounds were fumigated and re-grassed. Moreover, all bunkers were rebuilt to the original design.
“Pine Tree is a gem and the membership takes great pride in their Florida Golf Course, which made this assignment very enjoyable,” says Weed.
“We were challenged to re-instill the firm playing conditions to one of the great Florida Golf courses in America,” adds Sherman. “The short cut Tifeagle Bermudagrass approaches and green surrounds are sure to enhance every stroke around the green and offer a new layer of challenge to the golf course.”
Across the state in Brooksville, a two-year, phased-renovation was initiated during the summer at Brooksville Country Club, another Florida golf course.
The renovation began with the construction of three new holes around an abandoned quarry. Future revisions are in the planning stages.
“This was a very smart renovation by the golf course owner Tommy Bronson,” says project architect Chris Monti. “By utilizing the adjacent quarry for golf, Mr. Bronson has been able to partner with Avatar Properties to develop a portion of the site and upgrade the quality of the entire layout.”
Weed and Monti say they feel this is a trend that is expected to continue on Florida golf courses, and are excited to see how a club and developer can work together for a best-fit plan that benefits all parties.
