Enhancement

Highland,
UT & Scottsdale, AZ – August 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Alpine
Country Club, located approximately 30 miles south of Salt Lake City
in Highland, Utah, recently began an enhancement project that includes
renovation and modernization of golf course bunkers, new cart paths, and
enlarging and improving the existing practice range and putting green.
John Fought Design is overseeing the project while Duininck Golf is the
primary contractor responsible for the construction of the project. Course
enhancements began in mid-July and are expected to be completed this fall.
Alpine’s
bunkers were last updated in 2006. As part of the current project, select
bunkers will be repositioned, while all bunkers will be regraded, reshaped
and rebuilt incorporating the Better Billy Bunker™ method, which provides
a technically advanced drainage and liner system. The new bunkers are expected
to last for well over a decade and offer superior consistency regardless
of weather conditions. In addition to bunker renovations, new tee boxes
will be added on holes 9, 12 and 14. New and improved concrete cart paths
will also be added throughout the facility and strategically re-routed
to better accommodate golfers.

During
course renovations, the practice range tee area and practice putting green
will be expanded to accommodate Alpine Country Club’s growing membership.
The practice range tee area will be expanded to 22,000-square-feet (an
increase of 37 percent), leveled and re-sodded. Plus, a new TurfHound artificial
tee surface will be added to the back of the practice tee. In addition,
a new 8,000-square-foot practice putting green will be 78 percent larger
than the previous green.
“As
one of the premier private clubs in the Mountain West, we consistently
strive to improve and enhance our golf course and club amenities,” said
Neil Maurer, general manager, Alpine Country Club. “By taking these steps
to improve an already amazing golf course, we look to further elevate the
club’s brand and reputation on a national level.”
