Major changes at Ripon City

Published:

Following the success of phase one, Ripon City Golf Club has implemented the next stage of Swan Golf Designs’ renovation recommendations over the Autumn of 2009.

Since being appointed in the summer of 2008 to formulate a long-term plan for the club, SGD have overseen improvements to three holes whilst carrying out more detailed research into the possibilities of enhancing the overall course layout and increasing its length.

The work on the course is programmed to fit within Ripon City’s financial plans, and is flexible enough to continue despite the economic pressures currently experienced by all golf clubs.

With this in mind much of the work is being carried out in-house, and the entire renovation project is very much a team effort between the committee, greenkeeping staff, SGD and agronomist Peter Wisbey.

Robert Hart, Greens Committee Chairman at Ripon City GC adds: “When golfers are acutely aware of the value of their golf and looking for value-for-money, we believe it’s important to offer the very best product possible to both members and visitors.

 “That is why we chose to appoint SGD to help us improve our course, and why we will continue to invest in our greatest asset. We are keen to continue improving our standing within the Yorkshire golfing community.”
