Chennault renovations under way
Chennault Golf Course's $400,000 improvement project is scheduled to be completed by October.
The city of Monroe officially held groundbreaking ceremonies Monday at the golf course, located at 8475 Millhaven Road. The city owns the course.
Georgia's Southeastern Golf will oversee the renovation project at the Chennault Golf Course and Practice Facility.
Construction on the practice facility began Aug. 5. Construction of the on-course renovations began Aug. 10.
The project is expected to be completed by Oct. 30.
The entire golf course will be shut down during renovations.
Phase one of the project consists of a new multi-functional practice facility, which will include a 7,000-square-foot putting green, 3,500-square-foot chipping green with sand bunker, four target greens located on the driving range and three target short game practice areas with a synthetic turf teeing area.
The 34-year-old greens also will be renovated and changed to TifDwarf Bermuda, which is one of the more popular turf greens in the United States.
Tee renovation will consist of improved drainage and laser leveling of the tee surface. The greens turf will be Tifway 419 Bermuda to provide a level playing stance from anywhere on the 65,000 square feet of tee space.
Also, 12 sand bunkers will be placed strategically throughout the course to make it more challenging.
City leaders say a more challenging course will help Monroe compete for additional traveling tournaments.
Golf Digest recently named Chennault Golf Course one of the "best places to play" among municipal courses in the United States. |
