Realizing a long-range vision at Chenequa CC

Lohmann Companies is hard at work renovating the 2nd and 3rd holes at Chenequa CC in Hartland, WI.  Proposed as part of a long-range master plan prepared in 2002 by Lohmann Golf Designs, the project includes the construction of a new pond, complete with stone retaining wall, and the relocation of the 2nd and 3rd greens along the water's edge.  

Hole 2, a drive-able par 4, will also see the reconstruction of its fairway bunkers to add a more strategic element on the tee shot.  That, along with the new green hanging dangerously close to the water along its back edge, will give CCC members a lot more to think about when determining their playing approach on this short, but demanding hole.  Here's a look at LGD's computer rendering of the proposed green, before and after:

Hole 3, an existing par 3, will essentially be a new golf hole that will play from 120 to 175 yards over the pond to a green guarded on its back and sides by new mounding and existing ravines.  The new teeing area is located along a hillside located due north of the existing tees, and offers spectacular views of this intimidating hole.  See below a before view of the new hole corridor (notice the existing green behind the trees), followed by an after view of the new hole.  These images were instrumental in getting the project approved by the members:

All of the construction work at Chenequa is being completed by Golf Creations, the golf course construction division of Lohmann Companies.  Grassing is scheduled to start in the next couple of weeks.  In the meantime, stay tuned for updates on construction and photos of our progress.
