Off-Season Bunker Work

This Winter we chose to resod all our bunker surrounds on Militia Hill, refresh the bunkers with sand, and recapture our original bunker edges.  We quickly, and cost effectively refreshed all important bunker playing surfaces that our golfers value most.  After expeditiously completing every bunker on Militia Hill, we transitioned to select bunkers on Wissahickon.

New Racquets Terrace

The team installed a bluestone Racquets Terrace outside of the Squash facility that will be used this summer while the main clubhouse and porch are under construction.  Facing West, members will be able to enjoy sunsets over the new clubhouse cupola and dormers that will be reintroduced later this summer.  With its proximity to Padel, Squash, and the Great Lawn it will be a great multi-use space for years to come.
