Transformations

Master Planning

“A strategic, phased vision rooted in tradition and designed for lasting impact.” 

Irrigation & Infrastructure Modernization

  • Planned and executed the installation of a $1.7 million state-of-the-art HDPE irrigation and fertigation system at NHCC. 

  • Integrated in/out individually controlled heads, dedicated bunker zones, isolation valves, and full-zone independence across greens, tees, and fairways — maximizing precision and water-use efficiency. 

  • Directed $300,000 in pumphouse infrastructure upgrades (2019–2020) to improve pressure reliability and overall system flow. 

  • Brought hands-on experience from a prior full-system installation as an Assistant Superintendent, contributing to both design decisions and on-the-ground implementation. 

Greens, Approaches, Tees & Fairway Improvements

  • Implemented a data-driven agronomic program to deliver firm, fast, and sustainable playing conditions.

  • Executed targeted organic matter reduction strategies to increase green speed and surface firmness.

  • Deployed a comprehensive turf health program — including verticutting, drill-and-fill, aeration, topdressing, and precise irrigation management.

  • Restored lost green surfaces and false fronts; expanded bentgrass approaches to promote shot variety and short game playability.

  • Removed and pruned trees to improve sunlight exposure and air circulation across key playing corridors.

Practice Facilities

  • Built a 17,000 sq ft driving range and short game area on a 6-acre parcel.

  • Renovated first tee and staging area to streamline arrival and flow.

  • Over $5M invested in member-focused practice improvements.

Bunker Renovation & Strategic Evolution

  • Rebuilt all greenside bunkers in-house between 2009–2015, guided by Gil Hanse’s 1995 Master Plan.

  • Improved playability and aesthetics through upgraded sand, enhanced drainage, and reshaped fescue-faced contours.

  • A full-scale bunker redesign and rebuild is planned under the new Master Plan, utilizing the Better Billy Bunker method for enhanced performance, durability, and consistency.

Native Area Development & Sustainability

  • Converted over 12 acres into native fescue zones to reduce water use, lower maintenance inputs, and enhance visual contrast.

  • Upgraded core infrastructure to support long-term turf viability, efficient resource use, and automated management.

  • Projects emphasized environmental stewardship and course-appropriate aesthetics, reflecting the site’s classic design roots while delivering operational savings.

Clubhouse Grounds & Landscape Presentation

  • Overhauled the back lawn and expanded the pool area to enhance functionality and aesthetics for member use and events.

  • Developed a dedicated overflow cart parking and staging area to improve tournament flow and accommodate shootouts and special gatherings.

  • Renovated landscaped beds across the property to strengthen curb appeal, add seasonal variety, and unify the visual identity of the grounds.

  • Personally design and maintain all seasonal planters, delivering vibrant, well-timed displays at key entrances and gathering points.

  • Oversee the entire clubhouse landscape presentation, ensuring a polished, high-standard appearance that reflects the club’s attention to detail.
