PROJECT TIMING
KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. The need to address the infrastructure issues at Glenwild is driving the project timing. 2. Our advisors have strongly indicated that executing the project as 18 holes at once is the most prudent path to balancing quality, speed/experience and cost. 3. The infrastructure work is a 9 month project that will be completed over 15 months due to the seasonality of our Club. 4. Executing the golf course enhancements will not delay the course reopening.
REQUIRED INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS BUNKERS – rebuild from the bottom up It takes an average of 2 weeks to complete 4-5 bunkers depending on the size and surround tie ins. Our 67 bunkers will require 7-8 months to complete. IRRIGATION – complete replacement Irrigation replacement averages 1.5 – 2 weeks per hole requiring 7-9 months to complete. CART PATHS – reconstruction of all paths and bridges Paths and bridges will incur significant damage from heavy equipment during construction. Path crossing of the irrigation system requires 1.5 foot cuts for lateral lines every 60 feet and 4 foot cuts for every mainline crossing. All areas will need to be resurfaced. Cart path construction will begin 3 months into the process and require 6 months of construction time. GOLF COURSE ENHANCEMENTS TEE BOXES Resurfacing existing tee boxes and building of new tee boxes will be completed in conjunction with the flow of bunker and irrigation construction and will not add any time to the project. REDESIGN HOLES #8 & #10 Work will begin in the fall of 2026 with demolition of the affected areas commencing in September and the new greens constructed before the end of 2026. The new greens will be seeded in late April of 2027 as soon as weather allows and to open for play in 2028. EXPANSION OF GREENS ON #2, 4, 7, 11 & 18 The proposed green expansions will be completed in conjunction with the bunker and irrigation construction of the holes. Sod from holes #8 & 10 will be used on the expansion surfaces. If members approve completion of the project as 18 holes at once, post Labor Day 2026, 9 holes will close to begin construction. The Club would remain closed for the 2027 session to complete construction. The timing to complete each element of the Golf Course Master Plan is as follows: To determine the optimal timing to complete the Golf Course Master Plan, the Board researched and reviewed multiple options including completing 18 holes in one year, completing 9 holes over two years and a rolling replacement of three holes per year for six years. According to Brent Harvey, of the projects on which his firm works, the vast majority are completed as 18 holes at once. Research also found that leading contractors would not undertake irrigation replacement project on a rolling basis.
