Renovation of the Year - Private Course
Challenge
When White Manor’s 40-year-old golf course fell into disrepair, resulting in the loss of members and play, the club decided to seek solutions. The cure was a complete ‘start over’ renovation where every acre of the course and club property was subject to scrutiny.
Approach
More than 1,000 non-native trees were removed; the entire course roto-tilled; greens, tees and bunkers were redesigned and rebuilt, and a new irrigation system was installed.
The concept was to provide the membership with an interesting and challenging layout that required thoughtful play. Along with the classic feel, the golf holes would provide tremendous variety and multiple routes of attack.
Solution
The result is a layout where players will experience all that has made the Philadelphia area so rich in golf history. The former dairy farm property provided an exceptional canvas on which to paint the timeless parkland course which has emerged.
Upon opening, new members and increased revenue proved that breathing new life into White Manor’s golf course would preserve the club for generations to come.
