27 Quitno and Wadsworth turn attention to Lakeside nine at Cantigny Todd Quitno and Wadsworth Golf Course Construction have completed work on the Hillside nine at Cantigny Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois, and have now started renovating the Lakeside nine. The project includes updating irrigation systems, regrassing fairways, resurfacing cart paths, a tree management programme, and renovations to tees, bunkers and greens. “It was an opportune time to update the entire facility and make improvements that would bring the course into the modern era – infrastructurally – and complement the great historic and environmental aspects of the greater Cantigny campus, as well as add some new interest to the golf course,” said Quitno. “The biggest change on the Hillside – and entire project – is by far the green complexes. While most stayed in their same general position, the shapes and contours were altered considerably.” Read more about the Hillside and Lakeside projects on the GCA website. Brandon Johnson to redesign practice facility at The Landings The Landings Golf and Athletic Club in Savannah, Georgia, has approved a masterplan from Brandon Johnson Golf Course Design to redesign the practice facility near the club’s Marshwood and Magnolia courses. “The existing Marshwood/Magnolia practice facility, while on a small, narrow footprint, still has unused space and untapped potential for improvement,” said Johnson. “Our goal is to unlock the potential hidden in the unused spaces of a very small footprint.” Johnson’s plan aims to transform part of the existing driving range into a three-green short-game area, with bunkers of various depths and styles. The masterplan also includes an expanded and realigned teeing area, and the introduction of targets grassed with synthetic turf. The main body of the range will be recontoured and bunkers added, including in the 210 to 300-yard range, to test people’s drives. Photo: Quitno Golf Designs Image: Brandon Johnson Golf Course Design
