Pines Course in Pompano Beach, Fla., grassing front nine

Grassing is now underway on the first nine holes of Greg Norman’s redesign of the Pines Course in Pompano Beach, Fla.

The Pines Course, which is located at 1101 North Federal Highway in Pompano Beach, Fla.,is one of two golf courses at Pompano Beach Municipal that originally opened n 1960.

Greg Norman Golf Course Design was commissioned by the City of Pompano Beach to redesign the Pines Course in an effort to modernize the facility and give the City a championship golf course that will serve as a pillar for the community, providing a first class amenity for the residents and tourists of the City of Pompano Beach. Once completed, the City of Pompano Beach will have a Greg Norman Signature Design that will likely be one of the finest municipal golf courses in the state of Florida.

Greg Norman has made several site visits to the course to review the construction progress on his Signature Design which will be his first design at a municipal golf course. “I was introduced to the sport of golf through public access golf courses in Australia, so this project and public golf are very special to me. I see this as the first of many municipal golf course design and renovation projects that I would like
to be involved with,” said Norman.

The City’s new Greg Norman Design Pines Golf Course is tentatively scheduled to open in late fall of 2012.
