Restoration

The last few months at Rockville Links have been a blur.  Many changes have taken place and I am well overdue on a post.

The major project that began in November was working with Jim Urbina to restore holes 2, 3, and 16 to the original 1924 Devereux Emmet design.  The Restoration was done by our crew "in house" along with Jim Urbina and his shapers.  We utilized old overhead photos of Rockville Links to guide us in our Restoration.  


As we rounded out 2014 here at The Links, we really set up 2015 for a New Old Look for the membership.  Hope you all have a Happy New Year, and I will post more from the work so you can see what 2015 will look like at Rockville Links.

#2 Left Side Fairway Bunker.  Fairway runs right into the bunker now.
All fairway sod was cut and moved to restore original fairway lines. We also wanted sod to match so it blends in seamlessly.

#16 Left Side had 8 trees transplanted to restore the tree lined corner
New #3 Right Side Fairway Bunker
Great care was taken to recreate the sod walkpaths from the original Emmet design.
