Quintero Golf Club reopened for public play on Nov. 1 following a multi-million-dollar golf course and facility renovation project. The five-month project began on June 2 and was overseen by Rees Jones, Quintero’s original course architect.
During the renovation, crews from Total Turf golf course construction company rebuilt all 18 green complexes and resurfaced them with 007XL Bentgrass, a drought-tolerant and disease-resistant grass that delivers consistent putting surfaces. Greenside irrigation was also improved across the property to provide consistent coverage. All tee boxes were laser-leveled and resurfaced with a new 419 Bermuda grass, and all 65 of Quintero’s bunkers were also renovated, receiving new drainage, bunker liners and new Augusta white sand.
During the five-month closure crews also enhanced Quintero’s expansive practice facility, leveling and resurfacing the practice tee, plus rebuilding and resurfacing the practice green with the 007XL Bentgrass.
This summer’s course renovations marked the first major changes to the course since it opened in 2000. The newly overseeded golf course is currently cart path only and will be for several weeks to allow the rye grass to mature.
