Golf course lays out ambitious plan
The North Battleford Golf and Country Club (NBGCC) is dreaming big, as the long-term plan for the course isn’t just about renovations but, in some cases completely redesigning holes.
The NBGCC held a meeting last night at the club to present its future plans to members. The course is 50-years-old and according to Guy Browning, a golf course architect, it looks its age.
Browning was brought in to help with the revitalization plan for the course. Even though he said there are concerns with wear of tee boxes and drainage, apparently the course has stood up to the test of time extremely well.
“There is tremendous potential here,” Browning said. “The infrastructure is here, the bones are here. It is one of the most beautiful parkland courses I have ever seen. It is 50-years-old though and 50-year-old golf courses need some work and some upgrading. Not just because of wear and tear but, because of how the game has changed.”
