Crown Colony Golf Club Announces Exciting $12 Million Renovation Plan!
Golf enthusiasts, get ready for some thrilling changes at the Crown Colony Golf Club! Excitement is in the air, with members recently approving a substantial master renovation plan worth $12 million that promises to enhance both the golf course and the overall amenities of this beloved club.
A Fresh Look for Our Golfer’s Paradise
The renovation is set to kick off after the club hosts the highly anticipated 2025 U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Open qualifying events. Mark your calendars for 2026, when the real transformation will begin! Renowned golf course designer Bill Bergin of Bergin Golf Designs will be at the helm, ensuring that the new plans are as innovative as they are striking.
It’s important to note that while the routing of the course will remain intact, nearly everything else will undergo a significant makeover. This means members can look forward to eagerly anticipated upgrades to the irrigation and drainage systems across all 18 holes, making the course more playable and enjoyable for everyone.
All About the Details
Fans of the game will notice some remarkable changes in structure and design. The course will feature enhanced bunkers, greens, and tees, with the exciting addition of new Platinum Paspalum grass throughout—ideal for maintaining lush, beautiful fairways. This premium grass makes playability a top priority.
With new or relocated tee boxes, the course will play from 4,300 to nearly 7,000 yards, accommodating golfers of all skill levels. The emphasis here is on creating a layout that encourages strategic play while still allowing for some leeway when those not-so-perfect shots come into play!
Awe-Inspiring Looks and Enhanced Challenges
Bergin’s plans also include modified grass-face bunkers that are not just visually appealing but functional as well. All 18 greens will be redesigned, incorporating new shapes and locations, while fairway-cut chipping areas will be expanded to offer players more options for approach shots.
Among the most discussed changes is the redesign of the 10th hole, which aims to boost visibility and introduce a new level of challenge for players. Plus, the 18th hole is set for a delightful redesign that aligns the fairway closer to a large lake and positions the final green nearer to the clubhouse—a picture-perfect finish to any round!
More Space For Practice and Fun!
Golfers won’t just be treated to a stellar course; there will also be a larger practice area with a double-sided range and a dedicated short game area to polish up those skills. But that’s not all; the renovation will also add exciting new amenities such as a 4,000-square-foot events pavilion and bar, an entertainment lawn perfect for relaxing after a round, and even bocce courts for some off-course fun.
Staying Competitive in the Market
General Manager and COO David Kent highlighted that these continual improvements are vital for maintaining a competitive edge in the market. With a low membership cap of just 260 golf members, Crown Colony Golf Club remains an exclusive destination known for hospitable service and thrilling golf experiences.
As if that wasn’t enough, Crown Colony has also carved a name for itself by hosting prestigious events like the 2022 LPGA Drive On Championship and the 2023 Florida Open. And with the U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Open qualifying events on the horizon in 2025, excitement is truly building.
Looking Forward
The upcoming renovation at the Crown Colony Golf Club promises to enhance the beloved course and amenities, all while maintaining the club’s charming atmosphere. With these plans in place, golfers can look forward to a bright future filled with improved play, stunning designs, and heaps of fun on and off the green. Get ready to tee off in style soon!
