TIDEWATER GOLF CLUB & PLANTATION REOPENS FOR PLAY
One of Golf Digest’s “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” Enjoys Minor Face Lift to Tee Boxes
August 11, 2009, North Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Representatives of Burroughs & Chapin Golf Management announced today that Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation is open and ready for play after a five-week renovation project to the 18-hole golf course. Reopened Saturday, August 1, the Tidewater renovation project concentrated on enlarging, leveling and resodding of all tee boxes; adding new sets of tees to enhance the playability and strategies of the design; pruning and removing trees on the course; installing Erosion Barrier Tubing on the 10th hole for erosion control and beautification; and installing added drainage in select fairways and greens to enhance turf health. During the project, the Tidewater grounds crew also intensified agronomic projects such as aerification, top-dressing and grooming of all turf grass areas.
“Tidewater is one of the most recognizable golf venue names when it comes to superb quality and service, as evidenced by the national awards we have received since opening nearly two decades ago,” said Chris Cooper, general manager of Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation. “One of our primary goals with this project was to build upon our well-established reputation and we are very pleased with what we were able to accomplish in only five weeks. These improvements will enhance the enjoyment derived by players for decades to come”
Designed by Ken Tomlinson, Tidewater opened in 1990 and has been called the “Pebble Beach of the East” by national golf media members. Measuring 7,078 yards from the championship tees, Tidewater offers views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and the saltwater marshes of Cherry Grove Beach Inlet, and winds through dense forests accented by scenic hills, valleys, streams and lakes. Tidewater was recently named to Golf Digest’s 2009-2010 “America’s Top 100 Greatest Public Courses” ranking.
