Grand Reserve Golf Course opens

Grand Reserve Golf Course in Bunnell, Fla., opened for play Jan. 5. The par 71, 6,500-yard public access golf course was designed by Michael Beebe, ASGCA of Palm Coast, Fla. and Bill Amick, ASGCA of Daytona Beach, Fla.

The golf course is routed amongst a series of hardwood wetlands typical of Northeast Florida and utilizes these wetlands to enhance the aesthetics of the golf course.

“The golf course was designed with an emphasis on making the course user friendly for a wide range of skill levels," Beebe says. "We have intentionally limited forced carries on the course and have emphasized strategy rather than target golf. We have encouraged the use of the ground to play a variety of shots rather than forcing golfers to hit every shot high and soft. The golf course should be quite enjoyable for all skill levels with enough challenge to keep the better golfers alert even though the course is not long by today’s standards.”

The course is owned and operated by Mike Pullen of Capstone Golf.

“Capstone is committed to public golf and understands the importance of growing the game of golf through continued access to affordable golf in local communities,” Beebe says.

The golf course contractor for Grand Reserve was Course Crafters. of Gainesville, Ga.
