Drew Rogers to renovate White course at Twin Orchard

Drew Rogers will oversee a golf course renovation at Twin Orchard Country Club in Chicago.

In August, Wadsworth Golf Construction will begin renovation work on the White course. The project includes redesigning several green complexes to USGA specification, reshaping and strategic placement of all bunkers, installing Better Billy Bunker liner in sand hazards, fairway realignment, pond renovations and new tees.

“We’re strategically investing in our club’s amenities and laying the framework for the next 100 years,” said Jack Newman, club president at Twin Orchard. “These upgrades to our White course and other additions continue to position Twin Orchard as the premier private club in the area.”

Construction will be completed by Memorial Day at the end of May 2023. Twin Orchard’s other 18-hole layout – the Red course – will remain playable this season.

Additional amenities are also being designed to accompany the renovated course, including four new pickleball courts.
