Popular Arizona resort to renovate the greens and more on one of its highly ranked courses
Popular Arizona resort to renovate the greens and more on one of its highly ranked courses The Boulders Resort & Spa Scottsdale in Arizona has undertaken a renovation to its North Course with a main focus on the layout's greens. Plans are for the North Course to reopen this fall. The North Course ties for No. 15 on Golfweek's Best ranking of public-access courses in Arizona. The Boulders also operates its South Course, which is No. 17 on that list. The North was designed by Jay Morrish and opened in 1985. The greens on the North will be restored to their original sizes and shapes. They will then be resurfaced with TifEagle Bermuda grass, a resilient turf that should consume less water and does not require the course to be overseeded for each winter's busy season. All the tees on the North also will be leveled and resurfaced, as will the tees on par 4s and par 5s on the South Course. It all follows extensive bunker renovations and other enhancements to both courses three years ago, including resurfacing the greens on the South Course. Arthur Schaupeter, vice president of Casa Verde Golf, will oversee the North project. Casa Verde Golf is a Troon company, with Troon being the largest golf management company operating more than 575 18-hole equivalent courses around the globe. Troon also manages the agronomy and golf operations for the Boulders. 'The net result to the North Course refinement project will be more pin locations and playability enhancements to what is already an iconic course,' Schaupeter said in a media release announcing the project. 'Arizona courses that have recently converted to TifEagle greens include Stone Canyon, Superstition Mountain, TPC Scottsdale, Silverleaf and Terravita golf courses.'
