Golf Restoration

Why ECC is Restoring Our Golf Course

So, why are we restoring our golf course? Our beautiful course has been loved and played for many years. It’s time for a refresh, a new look to reclaim our identity and make our member’s golf experience on par with the pros!

Our original golf course architect, Gordon Lewis, has helped us develop a plan the updates our course without drastic changes.

We love our course, plain and simple. This restoration will tidy up the course and encourage players of all ages and skill level to dust of their clubs and start swinging!

ECC’s Golf Course Restoration Begins

The golf course restoration groundbreaking is scheduled for March 12th!

“

[It’s] an opportunity to revitalize the golf course and make some much needed improvements.” says Estero Country Club’s Superintendent, T.J. Shine, “The original golf course architect, Gordon Lewis, has put together a plan to update the course without changing or compromising the existing layout that is widely considered some of his best work. The renovation work will touch all 18 holes in addition to the practice area, driving range and clubhouse grounds.”

Benefits of Golf Course Restoration

We are so excited to begin our restoration. It’s an exciting time to be a member, and a fresh look is much needed after the normal wear-and-tear of many years playing a beautiful course, plus the unexpected effects of Hurricane Irma.

We welcome guests and members to get in on the action, participate in our annual meeting, March 12th, and get excited for their new course!
