Originally built in 2004 by Fred McKinley, Quarry Run has enjoyed a major reconstruction over the last few months and we're set to flip it by Oct 1. All but 4 of the original holes are changing, some subtly, some drastically but it will certainly feel like a brand new course. We took a bit of length away in order to offer a more appropriate challenge for intermediate players, however the new long holes score high on the fun scale and the spirit of the original course remains intact.
My intent with the design was to better highlight the natural features of this amazing land while improving playability and introducing challenging greens and interesting hole locations. In addition, this new design will accomodate the ebb and flow of the brand new world-class gold Par 70 (Ghost Tree, under construction) and contrast well with its new, bigger brother. The result is an intermediate level (white) par 64 clocking in at around 5400'.
The course features a steep-faced granite quarry, crazy ledge outcroppings, stands of hardwood, and lush fields scattered with lollipop birches and popcorn pines. You'll also find beautiful old rock walls meandering through the layout and bordering the entire property. As a designer, the incredible variety of terrain here has undoubtedly spoiled me silly.
While the greens lend to the challege with a healthy balance of slope, some of the hole locations will really steal the show. Some are high, some are low and some we drilled and anchored directly into the granite. We're also unveiling a Stonehendge replica made from telephone poles surrounding and defending the green of hole 2.
Oh, and we're installing a 100'x25' driving range net adjacent to the pro shop with range tees at 75'. Getting pretty psyched, not gonna lie.
