The Hamptons Golf Club received feedback over the years on how golf play can be improved on the course. The reconfiguration/renovation is an opportunity to refresh golf course play and meet the needs of its members and visitors. Funds from the pocket residential development will also assist in improving some of The Hamptons Golf Club’s aging infrastructure and improve the golf course as a whole. Improvements to the golf course are a benefit to those that live adjacent to the course and to the community as a whole as it will remain a long-term 18 hole golf course asset.

Several technical studies will be completed to determine the extent to which the trees can be retained. Generally, the possibility of tree retention is determined based on the location and grade of the land required for development. It is anticipated that minimal grading will be required in most open space areas due to the conservation design of the pocket redevelopments and consequently, tree retention will be possible. Additionally, a Tree Retention Strategy accounts for the loss of any trees by ensuring that 1.5 trees are planted for each tree removed within the open space areas.

It is the responsibility of the Developer.

The larger of the two new residential pockets will be located where holes 14 and 15 are located today. These two holes will be most affected by the golf course reconfiguration as they will be relocated to enable the residential developments.

The golf course will be reconfigured to relocate holes 14 and 15 into the existing course. In order to integrate new holes into the existing course, there will be minor changes to the size and shape of some holes and new greens will be added. The most significant work will occur at holes 14,15 and 16. Additionally, the existing practice green will be removed to allow for the development of Site B, one of the two residential pockets. Finally, the stormwater ponds adjacent to the holes 16 and 17 will be expanded to accommodate runoff from the new residential area.

Work to reconfigure the golf course will commence in 2017. The residential development is anticipated to take two to three years and will not occur until the golf course reconfiguration is complete.

While efforts will be made to minimize disruption associated with the reconfiguration, it is anticipated that there will be isolated impacts and noise on the golf course, in particular holes 14, 15, and 16.

The Hamptons Golf Club will strive to minimize the impact of the reconfiguration on play. Specifically work will be planned to ensure that all 18 holes remain open for the duration of the 2017 golf season. Construction activities will be coordinated to minimize disruptions to guests to the extent possible.
