The Marriott Golf-managed facility in Orlando, Fla., has re-opened its newly renovated golf course. The refinement project includes re-surfaced and enlarged greens and tee boxes, a strategic bunker renovation, and expanded practice area, along with a new fleet of GPS-equipped golf cars.

MetroWest Golf Club, a Marriott Golf-managed facility, welcomes players of all levels to the newly renovated golf course. Originally designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and measuring over 7,000 yards, the course underwent a $1.5 million renovation under the direction of Billy Fuller Golf Design of Atlanta, Ga.

The MetroWest refinement project is highlighted by the re-surfacing and enlargement of all 18 greens to a championship tournament standard, using TifEagle Bermuda grass, along with a strategic bunker renovation that will create better escape opportunities, while providing golfers with greater angles to the greens.

Complementing these changes are new, enlarged and resurfaced tee boxes (four per hole), as well as an expanded practice area complete with new putting and chipping greens. Additionally, with the implementation of new fairway patterns combined with strategic mounding around the greens and closely mown chipping areas, golfers will experience challenging approach shot opportunities. The renovation is backed by a new fleet of GPS-equipped golf cars.

“Our goal with this exciting course renovation project was to continue to challenge the best players, while using state-of-the-art design techniques to make the course faster and more enjoyable for everyday golfers and players of all levels,” said Steve Schaller, General Manager. “We are thrilled to officially re-open the course and we are confident it will not only present a challenging test of golf, but one that’s highly enjoyable in an aesthetically pleasing environment.”
