BETTER THAN EVER Grand re-opening of the golf course reveals major upgrades to playability I t's been a long time coming, but all the hours and effort poured into golf course maintenance at Classic Club over the summer and early fall are paying dividends as "the season" arrives – and there's no better time to re-acquaint yourself with the sparkling fairways and greens at Classic Club. "The course is in really great shape right now," said Director of Agronomy Tony Spannaus, adding that golfers will notice significantly improved playing conditions with the improvements to the course's bunkers. Classic Club underwent a major bunker renovation in July and August that saw some bunkers get removed, while the rest were re- graded, received new drainage, liners, fresh white sand, and turf around the edges. Golfers received a preview of the course in September and early October, and after a month-long closure for overseeding, the club had a grand re-opening on November 15. With pristine playing conditions on every inch of the golf course, there is plenty of reason to celebrate. And those who find themselves in the newly renovated bunkers will discover more consistent playing conditions out of the sand, which was the main goal of the undertaking. "The bunkers are just perfect," Spannaus said. "We're excited to have this project behind us. It was quite an experience, and it was crazy to see all the bulldozers, tractors and other equipment all over the course. But it was all worth it – everything looks amazing."
