History edit

In October, 2012, The course was closed for major renovations under the direction of architect Richard Mandell,[1] and reopened in July, 2014. The course's original layout was retained but the fairways were converted to bent grass, and all of the greens and bunkers were replaced and brought up to modern standards. Mandell's work was recognized by Golf magazine as the "Best Municipal Renovation" of 2014. Additionally, the clubhouse and pro shop were demolished and replaced with new buildings.[2]
