LET IT GROW, LET IT GROW, LET IT GROW...
It's been a hot and heavy month of construction at Chenequa Country Club in Hartland, WI, where Lohmann Golf Designs and Golf Creations have rebuilt the green on #2 and the entire hole #3. The renovation process actually started way back in 2002 when LGD prepared a master plan for all 18 holes and the driving range, and since then we've been implementing small projects on an every-other-year basis.
This year' s project on #2 and #3 is probably the most dramatic makeover so far, though. The greens for each hole sit along a newly constructed pond complete with boulder wall. The new settings are dramatic, visually stunning, and add considerable strategic options for players to ponder. Hole #3, a 175-yard par 3, was re-equipped with a new teeing complex situated north of the old tees atop an existing hill. The new look is spectacular, if not a bit intimidating. But there is definitely room to maneuver around the hazard and bump your way to the green for those who can't handle the carry.
It's grow-in time now, and with the mild temperatures and low humidity, you can almost see the new turf filling in!
