A complete rebuild was configured to make the club 100 percent water self sufficient, which involved the creation of a new lake, expanding existing lakes, a new irrigation system, new drainage and new grassing. Maintained turf areas were also reduced by 34 percent. Location: West Bloomfield Township, Michigan Architect: Chris Wilczynski, ASGCA As part of a renovation program, trees on the fourteenth and fifteenth holes were removed to improve turf quality and enhance play, and nearly 20,000 square feet of new wetland was created. New native plantings included 33 native shrub species and 11 tree species within the area of these two holes. Photo: Chris Wilczynski, ASGCA
