Renovation Under Way at Quail Ridge Golf Course

Quail Ridge Golf Course Renovation

The South Course Renovation at Quail Ridge Country Club in Boynton Beach, FL is well underway.

The Bobby Weed Design team is managing the process of replacing irrigation and modernizing the design of the course.
ā€‹
There are two objectives in renovating the South Course. The first is to upgrade the critical infrastructure.

Relevant infrastructure items include drainage, irrigation, grasses, greens construction, bunker construction, cart paths and bulkheads. The overall condition and sustainability of any course is often a direct reflection of the quality of its infrastructure. Send me more information about Quail Ridge!

The second objective is to enhance the member experience by addressing the playability of the course. The improvements to the South Course are significant, not only in scope, but also in their potential.

The new design will produce a more strategic, maintenance-friendly and enjoyable golf course. Such a layout will remain relevant and competitive in the marketplace for years to come.

It will also protect each memberā€™s long term investment in the community, providing enhanced enjoyment in the present, and attracting the next generation of property owners. ā€‹Send me more information about Quail Ridge!

What will the new course look like?

While specific design examples for each hole can be seen in the diagrams, a number of overall concepts were generated that guided Bobby Weed’s design approach.

One of the cornerstones that steered his thinking was the equally intense level of play that the courses receive, from all demographics of the membership. Accordingly, they have approached the South Course in the same manner and addressed it using the same standard. Send me more information about Quail Ridge!

Legend Course Reopens at The Club at Ibis with Visit by Jack Nicklaus

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus was at The Club at Ibis on Wednesday, December 13 to officially reopen the aptly-named Legend Course in front of more than 400 members. Nicklaus built the course in 1991 and his renovation featured the changes in the sport of golf and Nicklausā€™ design philosophy during the last quarter century.

ā€œWhen I built this course, there were no trees or houses here,ā€ Nicklaus said before hitting the ceremonial first shot (down the middle of the No. 1 fairway). ā€œWe lengthened it from the back tees and shortened it from the front. We did a whole bunch of things to make it more pleasurable for the members here at Ibis. What you have is a modern golf course.ā€

Major Renovations to Legend Course

The par-72 Legend Course, which hosted the Office Depot on the LPGA Tour from 1997-2000, was lengthened from the tips by more than 300 yards, to 7,442. The shortest tees measure slightly more than 4,500 yards. Nicklaus also took out a lot of the waste areas he used to frame the original design.

All of the greens were re-contoured and the fairways re-grassed. ā€œWe tried to increase the strategy members can use,ā€ Nicklaus said. ā€œI think we made it a much better golf course.ā€ Send me more information about The Club at Ibis!

Nicklaus lives 15 minutes away from The Club at Ibis, allowing him to make many trips during the renovation. That personal touch came through with his renovation.

Family Connection, Professional Instruction

The Club at Ibis remains the only place in the world that features three golf courses by different members of the Nicklaus family. Sons Jack II designed The Heritage and Steve designed The Tradition.

As part of the dayā€™s ceremonies, PGA Tour star Daniel Berger did a clinic for Ibisā€™s members with Director of Golf Instruction Martin Hall. Berger, ranked 28th in the world, is the son of Ibisā€™s new Director of Tennis Instruction, Jay Berger. Send me more information about The Club at Ibis!
