The design, fund allocation, and timeline were approved by the SCGC membership in the fall of 2018, and earthmoving began shortly thereafter.
The newly constructed areas were seeded in June 2019 and the grow-in took place the remainder of the year. The new driving range, short game area, and golf holes were opened June 20, 2020.
