Golf Course Renovation update

The construction phase on nine holes of the golf course renovation will be completed by the end of September. As these holes are being “grown-in” by the golf course maintenance staff, construction will continue on the remaining holes. The construction phase will continue until early December when the final holes are turned over to the golf maintenance staff for grow-in. The grow-in phase of the renovation will continue until a projected opening date of 1 June, 2009.

Those familiar with the pre-renovation course will see dramatic changes in the look of the new course. Significant increases in the size of the lakes provided the needed fill to add elevation and contours to the entire course. The lakes come into play on four of the final nine holes and will present a challenge to the best of golfers. A new state of the art irrigation system will allow for all areas of the course to be maintained in superb playing conditions year round. New concrete cart paths will be at all tee and green complexes and some holes will have continuous cart paths. The new lakes, strategic bunkering and added contours offer a spectacular view from every tee and every shot into the greens. We look forward to having you play our new course next year. We will be the #1 Course in the Navy!

The Golf Course renovation is being done by the Kevin Tucker Design Group (KTDG) and Tommy Abbot Construction Company.

Since 1976, the Kevin Tucker Design Group (KTDG) has provided comprehensive golf course design and master planning services to commercial, public and military clients. The firm has been involved with over 100 golf course projects and has received numerous achievement awards and recognition for design excellence. In 2007, KTDG was awarded the “Landscape Design Award (Type E) Renovation of Golf Greens at Deer Run Golf Course” at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Their most notable award came in 2003 with KTDG’s newest course Koasati Pines in Kinder, Louisiana. This course was ranked as the seventh best upscale daily fee golf course in the country by Golf Digest and ranked number one in the State of Louisiana.
