The old Donald Ross design at Wilmington Municipal Golf Course has been stretched down the years to 6,784 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 71. John Fought rejuvenated Wilmington’s greensites and drainage in 2014.
The four-month $1.5 million-renovation project focused on doubling green sizes which had shrunk over the years, rebuilding bunkers to their original size and shape, extending closely mown green surrounds to offer more recovery options, and upgrading golf cart paths and tee boxes.
John Fought returned three years later to fashion a new three-hole short course, featuring multiple sets of tees, a short driving range and a practice green. One of the main beneficiaries of this new facility is the First Tee of Greater Wilmington Youth Program, which gives younger players the chance to get into the game.
