Trees, trees and more trees!

Since spending the winter removing dead and/or dying trees, we are making a push to replant. As you can see here, we have over 50 trees just dropped off on property to plant throughout the course. The main concentration of hedges and trees are on the left of #2 fairway, #4 tee, #17 tee and the 8th hole. Even though it takes about 2-3 years for the plantings to really start "maturing", you will still see much improved horticultural specimens right away! That is not to say some beautiful new fall foliage later this year!

Restoration Update

Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history. You can also follow the progress on Twitter @BrendanJByrne01.

With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.

Golf Course Update (Groundhog Day Version)

Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
