The Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) has started the process to obtain permits for a complete golf course and clubhouse renovation at its home facility, Poppy Hills in Pebble Beach, Calif.
At a recent meeting, the NCGA Board of Directors approved the multi-year, multi-step process to:
- Redesign and lessen doglegs to help the course unfold more naturally
- Replace and redesign all putting greens
- Sandcap fairways to greatly improve drainage
- Replace irrigation system to better manage water usage
- Renovate the clubhouse including restaurant and restrooms
A driving force behind the renovation of the NCGA members’ course is the conservation of water. The 24-year-old course already has an excellent environmental track record through its 100% utilization of reclaimed water for irrigation, but the overhaul further addresses water consumption by reducing irrigated areas of turf.
It is anticipated that it will take 12-24 months to complete permitting for the work. The project will proceed with the Robert Trent Jones Jr. Group once the permit is obtained and given a favorable economic environment.
