A Visionary Design by Bill Bergin
The stars of the makeover will be the experts at Bergin Golf Designs, helmed by renowned architect Bill Bergin. With a flair for creating courses that balance beauty and playability, Bergin aims to elevate the adventure of golfing at Crown Colony while making it enjoyable for players of all skill levels!
Greens, Bunkers, and Tee Boxes – Oh My!
From the greens to the bunkers to those essential tee boxes, it’s a total overhaul! The upgrades will include state-of-the-art irrigation and drainage systems for all 18 holes, ensuring perfect playing conditions regardless of the season. While the basic layout of the course will remain the same, expect some thrilling redesigns to various features that will bring fresh excitement!
The Grass is Greener
Out with the old grass and in with the new! Everyone can look forward to a lush spread of Platinum Paspalum grass which promises remarkable durability and playability. Plus, with newly located tee boxes, players will experience distances ranging from 4,300 to nearly 7,000 yards. It’s the perfect way to keep things interesting!
Enhancing the Challenge
Bergin’s vision showcases a balanced mix of challenges and fun, ensuring that even those “less-than-perfect” shots have room to breathe! Bunkers will undergo a stylish facelift as well, featuring modified grass-face designs that are both stunning and strategic, making for a unique game.
Revamping the Greens
Every single green is getting a makeover! Players can expect new locations, shapes, and sizes, with enhanced chipping areas that will put your short game to the test. One of the most enticing changes will take place on the 10th hole, with improvements that enhance visibility and introduce exciting risk-reward opportunities for bold players!
A New Look for the 18th Hole
Prepare for an electrifying finish! The renowned 18th hole is getting an upgrade too. The fairway will be repositioned closer to a stunning lake and the clubhouse, making your grand finale all the more picturesque! And let’s not overlook the addition of a fantastic new 4,000-square-foot events pavilion and bar, ideal for celebrating post-round victories with friends!
Exclusive Membership Perks
The Crown Colony Golf Club is dedicated to providing an exclusive experience with a low membership cap of just 260 golf members. This ensures that members reap the benefits of an intimate club atmosphere. Having hosted prestigious events like the 2022 LPGA Drive On Championship and the 2023 Florida Open, it’s no surprise that these enhancements are part of a visionary long-term improvement strategy.
Final Touches and Excitement
Along with all those changes, tree trimming will be carried out to boost ventilation and sunlight, both crucial for healthy grass growth. New combo tees will also be introduced, giving players the flexibility to customize their play experience.
While monumental, these renovations aim to preserve the uniqueness and cherished qualities of the course that members have grown to love. Excitement is already buzzing among members for the reopening of the revamped course, set to happen later in the year.
