Tidewater Golf Club & PlantationAfter closing for five weeks to complete a minor renovation project designed to improve the golf course in a number of areas, the Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation is open and ready for play, representatives of Burroughs & Chapin Golf Management recently announced.

The Tidewater renovation project focused on a range of improvements including:
 

- Enlarging, leveling and resodding all tee boxes

- Adding new sets of tee to enhance playability and strategies of the design

- Pruning and removing trees on the course

- Installing erosion barrier tubing on the 10th hole for erosion control and beautification

- Installing added drainage in select fairways and greens to enhance turf health

Tidewater No. 7During the project, the Tidewater grounds grew also intensified agronomic projects such as aerification, top-dressing and grooming of all turf grass areas.

Recently named to Golf Digest's 2009-2010 "America's Top 100 Greatest Public Courses" ranking, Tidewater has been hailed as the "Pebble Beach of the East" by national golf media members.

"Tidewater is one of the most recognizable golf venue names when it comes to superb quality and service, as evidenced by the national awards we have received since opening nearly two decades ago," said Chris Cooper, general manager of Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation. "One of our primary goals with this project was to build upon our well-established reputation and we are very pleased with what we were able to accomplish in only five weeks. These improvements will enhance the enjoyment derived by players for decades to come."

Initially opened for play in 1990, Tidewater was designed by Ken Tomlinson. From the championship tees, the layout stretches to more than 7,000 yards and treats golfers to views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and the saltwater marshes of Cherry Grove Beach Inlet.
