Welcome to The Savory Grape. A golf course designed on the plot provided by b101. A landscape full of rolling hills, dips and valleys, and lush vegetation. A golf course was meant to be on this property. Though in order to make it happen, guidelines needed to be met to adhere to locals. The beautiful pine trees kept the air fresh, and homes for the wildlife, so there was minimal felling of trees along the build. (Total of 5 downed trees) Another restriction for the design team was the entry road for the course could not be moved, and the clubhouse had to be in its original location. The newly renovated clubhouse welcomes all golfers, after their round for a tall glass of beer or a signature glass of wine. With the land being so precious, heavy machinery was not permitted on property. Because of this it was challenging to move the land, so holes needed to be found on the grounds provided by Mother Nature. Though a great team of men and women worked day and night with shovels and wheelbarrows to design what is now known today as The Savory Grape.
The par 71 course plays 7217 yards and designed to be a subtlety difficult track. While the prevailing wind typically comes from the southeast, with the different seasons comes different winds so it is encouraged to play different wind directions. Ground game is encouraged on most holes so look for fairway and green contours to help run the ball where you want it to stop. The environment welcomes the golfers as much as it welcomes the wildlife. Vast valleys of heather, grass and bushes fill the plot beneath the canopies of the pines for gorgeous sight lines throughout the round.
Last, but certainly not least it has been a joy to work with Team Pithy. This has been the most fun I have had designing a course since I have begun in 2k21. Just want to thank the team for always being there when I needed an answer, along with the ideas and support throughout the few months. Very big thank you to PithyDoctorG Q JickinWings nogoal05 and staypuft39
