Golf Course Restoration Mobilization and Ground Breaking Event

MacCurrach Golf Construction has begun mobilizing for the golf course restoration project. The initial process will take several weeks, as a variety of heavy machinery will begin to appear at Ford. Two staging areas will be used to accomplish the initial phase of mobilization: the back of the practice facility (which will remain open to Members through September 29) and the Golf Course Maintenance building area.

The following policy will apply to all Members, guests, and pets beginning at the close of business on Sunday, September 29, 2013. For the duration of the course construction, the entire golf course property, including cart paths, lakes, and practice facilities, is deemed to be a construction site. All members, guests, and pets are not authorized to enter the construction site from the close of business on September 29, 2013 through the end of the project. Only construction crews and properly credentialed staff will be allowed on the golf course property. For the safety of all involved, violations of this policy must be strictly enforced and may be subject to penalties. Members are requested to discuss this policy with all family members and guests.

We apologize in advance for any inconveniences and thank you for your cooperation with this important and necessary policy.
