Unveils remodeled clubhouse and course improvements:

Major course work includes bunker renovations on nine holes, tree pruning, new tee and yardage markers, and ball washers. New golf carts and state-of-the-art maintenance equipment help to create even more memorable playing experiences for golfers.

In addition, BCG, the City of Wilmington and University of Delaware have teamed to implement a storm-water runoff project. This will reduce the flood threat to area homes and businesses, boost the course's irrigation capacity and ensure Ed Oliver's certification in Audubon International's Cooperative Sanctuary program for an environmentally-friendly golf course.

 I'm glad to hear this. I played there many times some 30 years ago. It has several neat holes and one great par four along Greenhill Rd.

Wow, Steve...those goals all sound like terrific ideas and it's great to see it come to fruition.

Nice to see this kind of thing can actually get off the ground.
