Harbour Ridge Yacht and CC beings renovation

The renovation of the Golden Marsh course at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club, in Palm City, Fla., is underway. The course will  be managed by Bobby Weed Golf Design. Construction began on April 2.

“This is a comprehensive update, resulting in a more natural, playable layout with greater variety and visual interest,” said Bobby Weed. The Golden Marsh course, originally designed by Joe Lee in 1984, winds its way through mature pine flatwoods and natural lagoons.

The project will include reconstructing the green complexes; updating the appearance and placement of the bunkers; regrassing the entire layout; installing a new irrigation system; underbrushing the roughs and out-of-play areas; and replacing acres of maintained, irrigated turf with pine straw and coquina shell.

The project is slated for completion in August, and plans call for the course to reopen for play in November.

The revitalized Golden Marsh course will join the River Ridge course, Harbour Ridge’s other 18-hole layout. River Ridge was originally designed by Pete and P.B. Dye, allowing Harbour Ridge to join TPC Sawgrass (Stadium/Valley) and Omni Amelia Island Plantation as multi-course properties that feature the work of both Weed and his legendary mentor.
