Our most read article this week was about Broomsedge Golf Club Beginning to Sod Fairways and Tees. The Rembert, S.C. course, designed and built by Kyle Franz and Mike Koprowski, is scheduled for a soft opening this fall. Koprowski says, “As new builds have been increasingly focused on maximizing size and scale, ours is a departure from this trend”. From the first tee, players will be able to see no fewer than 15 different green sites.
Last, but not least ... No. 3
Have you watched our latest episode of the Club + Resort Talks podcast? Phil Keren and I discuss a recently completed project, one that is nearly finished and two more that are just beginning. The 18-month revitalization project at LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, Fla. encompassed 189 of the resort’s guest rooms, the complete rebuild and elevated design enhancements of the famed Beach House, and the restoration of its four beachside pools. Previously known as America’s longest golf course, the Pines Course at The International in Bolton, Mass. is on schedule to welcome limited member play this fall. After a century of operation, the Swope Memorial golf course in Kansas City plans to close for a year to undergo a $7 million renovation. And Burning Tree Country Club in Greenwich, Conn. intends to revamp its infrastructure by replacing the old pool building with a modern facility dubbed the Aquatics and Recreation Center.

Take care, stay well and have a great day!
