  • TPC Network Turns 40 by John Steinbreder • August 22, 2020
    My Account Logout READ THE MAGAZINE MEN’S PRO+ LPGA+ AMATEUR+ COURSE DESIGN+ MORE+ TPC Network Turns 40 By John Steinbreder • August 22, 2020 ith the building of the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass four decades ago, then-PGA W Tour commissioner Deane Beman did more than give the Players Championship a permanent home. Quite inadvertently, he also sowed the seeds of a business operation that today consists of 31 golf facilities and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenues for the PGA Tour. Called the TPC Network, it currently comprises private, public and daily-fee courses that serve recreational golfers throughout the United States as well as in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Malaysia. Several of those layouts also act as venues for PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour events, such as TPC River Highlands outside Hartford, Connecticut, the home of the Travelers Championship, and TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, where the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was held last month. This year’s PGA Championship was staged at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California, and the first tournament of the 2020 FedEx Cup playoffs, the Northern Trust, is being played this weekend at TPC Boston. That is an impressive collection. Equally as significant is how that division of the tour is thriving as it celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Designed largely by Pete and Alice Dye with significant impact from Beman, TPC Sawgrass was the first piece of that portfolio when it opened in the fall of 1980. Many industry observers, including a number of his tour professionals, considered it a risky venture.

  • Master Plan Introduction and Course History Since 1894, When Tin Cans
    Master Plan Introduction and Course History Since 1894, when tin cans were first placed in the ground near the Fenwick Hall, golf has been played in Fenwick. A full nine-hole golf course was opened in1896 and, for over one hundred years, it has provided pleasure to golfers of all ages and abilities. This Strategic Master Plan establishes a framework for maintenance and potential improvements consistent with the history, design and links-style nature of the course. The Strategic Master Plan, as defined in the Mission Statement adopted by the Board of Warden and Burgesses, “will outline for each hole the purpose of the architectural design, highlighting where the current design promotes or occasionally conflicts with the links nature of the course and the other attributes described above. The Strategic Master Plan will also establish maintenance guidelines to ensure the health of the turf and playability of the golf course.” The Board of Warden and Burgesses has requested that the Strategic Master Plan Narrative for Fenwick Golf Course “will include an overview of the golf course and the direction in which it should move forward, embracing its long history; a review of the course agronomics that includes ways to improve the health of the turf as well as methods to save money and a review of architectural alterations dating back to the early 1930s . including a hole-by-hole assessment that will provide suggested modifications to improve the Fenwick Golf Course and make the course more enjoyable and challenging for players across a broad spectrum of abilities.” This Plan has two principal goals.
