The Great Outdoors Golf Course Improvements on Schedule for 2024 The Great Outdoors is set to embark on a memorable journey. The planned renovation of the golf facility and irrigation system is both ambitious and exciting. While the project start date is still a long way off, April 2024, the planning process has already begun. It started with the naming of a course architect and, after a diligent research process, we selected Sanford Golf Design. We are working with David Ferris of the Sanford firm, who has created a master plan for us. This plan includes the replacement of the irrigation system, green restructuring, tee and fairway re-shaping and grassing, along with a new look for the practice facility. As we said, it’s an ambitious plan and we are determined to do all that we can to accomplish the planned improvements. We have received lots of questions about this project and have attempted to address some of these questions in this article regarding details of the renovation work. We still have a ways to go until the hands-on phase begins, but rest assured, your TGO team will be working diligently to bring this project to fruition. After all, this is an important investment for The Great Outdoors owners. Continued on page 36
Spending Time with Your Furry Friends Doggy World is one of the most popular places in TGO, especially if you have four legs. Drive down the east side of Plantation Drive and you’ll easily spot the local hangout for “man’s best friend” along with their owners enjoying the equivilent of a Happy Hour party. There are no shortages of “You’re-agood boy” or slobbery kisses. For dogs... it’s like Disney World! Continued on page 48
