Flourtown Clubhouse Improvement Update

The past month we finished up some of our capital improvements at the Flourtown campus.  We painted the exterior of the Wissahickon Clubhouse and replaced carpet within the Terrace Room.  We also sealed our parking lot and repainted our parking spaces and directional signage.  The main entrance signs that hang outside the Militia Hill and Wissahickon parking lot got a face lift as well.

Artificial Putting Green

The new artificial putting green has been completed and officially opened to provide a nice quiet area for the membership to enjoy a fun round of miniature golf or practice their putting before their next round on the golf course.

Winter Project Update

Our grounds staff has been working aggressively between freeze and thaw cycles to keep projects progressing on time for Spring.

At St Martins, we are finalizing the hole locations on our artificial putting before we install the turf and put down our brick border.  We have also completed construction on the a roof extension at the pool back-of-house to increase storage  and space for storage for a new ice machine.

At Flourtown, we are working on installing new artificial turf at the upper range tee by the teaching sheds to help deal with the sustained and concentrated traffic up there.  We are also working on installing a new awning at the Militia Hill club house.  We are currently in the process of installing a bluestone base.
