TIDEWATER GOLF CLUB & PLANTATION TO BEGIN RENOVATION PROJECT JUNE 22
One of Golf Digest’s “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” to Reopen August 1 June 8, 2009, North Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Representatives of Burroughs & Chapin Company, Inc. announced today that Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation will close Monday, June 22 as it begins a six-week renovation project to the golf course. The 18-hole facility, which is managed by Burroughs & Chapin Golf Management, will reopen Saturday, August 1. Myrtle Beach-based A.O. Hardee & Son, Inc. was selected as the general contractor, through a closed-sealed process. Senior director of golf course operations Randy Allen, a veteran of the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America, will supervise the project for Burroughs & Chapin Golf Management.
The renovations will concentrate on enlargening, leveling and resodding of all tee boxes; adding new sets of tees to enhance the playability and aesthetics; pruning and removing trees on the course; installing Erosion Barrier Tubing on the 10th hole for erosion control and beautification; and installing drain tile in select fairways and greens to enhance draining. While the project is underway, the Tidewater grounds crew will focus on intensified agronomic projects such as aerification, top-dressing and grooming of all turf grass areas.
“Our primary focus with this renovation project is to upgrade the tee boxes so that they complement the stature of the course,“ said Bob Swezey executive vice president for Burroughs & Chapin Golf and Resorts Division. “Tidewater is a spectacular venue but the tee box complexes have been utilized for decades and need renovation after years of wear and tear. There is never a good time to close a course for renovations but we wanted to address some areas and have the entire course in superb condition, as it deserves.”
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.
