The Furman University Golf Club closed May 12, 2008, for a major renovation of all 18 green sites. The course is expected to reopen in October of this year. The renovation will be a complete re-design of all 18 greens from 30 yards in and the two putting greens. The greens are to be built to USGA specifications with the installation of Champion Bermuda grass. The design will be in a Donald Ross style that will follow the flow of the beautiful land that the golf course lays on. It will also include new green side bunkers and irrigation for the greens to allow run-up areas to be more accessible for the average player. The addition of 3 tee boxes for the golf teams and up to 12 new fairway bunkers will complete the transformation. The renovation will produce a first-class course that will allow itself to be very fair and playable for the average golfer, but challenging for the low handicapper.
