25 Sanford-Ferris starts Delray Beach project Photo: Landscapes Unlimited Renovation at Carolina CC nears completion Landscapes Unlimited is nearing completion of a golf course renovation at Carolina Country Club, one of North Carolina’s oldest private clubs. Originally opened in 1910 as the Raleigh Country Club, it was renamed to Carolina Country Club in 1918 – it has remained in its original location since 1910. The private golf and country club is located in northern Raleigh. The Landscapes Unlimited on-site team has been led by Chris Kelley and Roberto San Juan, who have been working with architect Greg Muirhead of Rees Jones, Inc., Golf Water, Rain Bird and Turf Drainage Company of America. The project covers greens, bunkers, tees, regrassing, irrigation and drainage, with the aim to reduce maintenance resources while presenting high-quality course conditions. “The team has done a wonderful job improving sustainability and modernising the golf course while preserving the character of the 1930s AW Tillinghast redesign,” said Jack Slaughter, the club’s general manager. Kyle Johnson, the club’s director of grounds, added: “Unveiling an exceptional golf course that preserves traditional and adds contemporary infrastructure and features will make members prouder than ever to call Carolina Country Club home.” Dana Grode, vice president of Landscapes Unlimited, said: “Seeing ear-to-ear grins from members gives us incredible enjoyment and makes the blood, sweat and tears well worth it.” Image: Delray Beach Golf Club Construction is under way on a Sanford-Ferris Golf Design renovation at Delray Beach Golf Club in Florida. With nine holes laid out by Donald Ross and nine by Dick Wilson, architects John Sanford and David Ferris are working with NMP Golf Construction, Toro, Soleno and Golf Agronomics to unite the layout, while maintaining characteristics of the original designers. “Our plan is to peel back the layers to unearth the original Ross green perimeters and contours,” said Sanford. The architects have referenced original Ross plans and notes, and historic aerials of both nines. “Golfers will experience two different design styles and expanded practice facilities,” said Ferris. “All new infrastructure will allow the course to be maintained at a higher level.”
