Philadelphia Cricket Club-St. Martin's to be restored
« on: June 26, 2012, 08:34:40 AM »
Rather than insert this in the Early US Open courses thread, here is Joe Logan's article on the restoration of the remaining 9 holes of St. Martins:

The majority of the restoration work is complete. Bunkers rebuilt. Greens expanded. And done with aeration cores.  


Our Director of Grounds has posted photos information here: http://philacricketgm.blogspot.com


The work was done with in house labor during the off season. The crew is justifiably proud and we are lucky to have a team that improved St Martins before the closing of Wissahickon for restoration.

Plus there are four sets of hickories available to enjoy play as it was for the 1907 & 1910 US Opens.
