Highway Expropriation

[Jeremy_Glenn.]

We are currently working for a golf course that is about to be split in two by a highway extension.

I was wondering if anyone would know of any course that has been (recently) affected by a highway running through it, and how they went about dealing with all the issues.

Thanks!

Doak's Lost Dunes in Michigan come to mind...

Old Palm on Palm Beach Gardens

Bishops Bay, Madison, WI.  Tey had to build a tunnel at great expense under the county hwy to move carts and maintenance equipment from one side to the other .

Belmont in MA comes to mind, but that was a few years ago, and unfortunately, the new reconfigured holes bear absolutely no resemblance to the wonderful Ross holes.

Arcola in NJ had the Garden State Parkway slice through it and they totally redesigned their golf course, leaving some old holes.  I prefered the original style and architecture.  Then, to make matters worse, they voluntarily sold off about 5-6 more holes to Boutoni and reconfigured the golf course again.
Boutoni never used the land as planned and sold it to a developer.  Now condo's/apartments occupy the land.

The original course would be a poster child for GCA.com.

Hidden Creek will have a road traversing the second hole, but the hole will remain in tact.

I dont know how long ago it was, but when they were contructing the Blue Route in Philadelphia (476) they had to redo a lot of Radnor Valley.  Others here probably more about it than I do, but that is certainly one that comes to mind

Salem in Peabody had a highway come by. They got $ 7,000,000 for the piece they had to give the State after arbitration and it never hit the course.

Little lucky, perhaps?

Why look at recent examples? Oakmont is among the most famous. Call Arthur Jack Snyder at 602-840-2621...an architect later in life, he was the super specifically hired to manage the Pennsylvania Turnpike project that eventually split Oakmont more than the railroad already had.
