Clubhouse Landscaping

If you have been able to venture out to the club and enjoy the dry but cold weather, you would have seen all the pruning and removal of landscaping around the clubhouse. Our clubhouse facade offers a wonderful backdrop for photos and for the course, but has been covered by overgrown landscaping. Over the last 2 weeks we have initiated a very aggressive landscape pruning and removal plan. The photos below are of the back patio and the exterior of the restaurant. We have removed the privet hedge along the wall to offer a much more pleasant vista of the course from the bar area. The view from 6 tees is also striking as you can now see the beauty of the clubhouse. We have also completed a rejuvenation pruning of the rhododendrons along the restaurant windows. This pruning allows for views of the course from more of the restaurant and will also give us much better flower crop this coming year.
In the spring we will be adding miscanthus, ecanasia, and shasta daisies to the area where the privet hedge was located. Summer annuals will also be added to compliment the above.
