A Sparkling New Luster for The Club at New Seabury
The Club at New Seabury has completed renovations of its renowned Ocean Course and restored the 7,131-yard track to its original lusterwith aesthetic enhancements, design variety, new drainage and fullbunker renovation for golfers of all levels to enjoy.
The Ocean Course renovation, which spanned eight months, completes the Club’s 36-hole renovation which included New Seabury’s Dunes Course in 2019. Architect Bruce Hepner of Hepner Golf Design, in collaboration with Agriscapes Golf Course Construction and Scott Nickerson, New Seabury’s Director of Agronomy and Project Manager, developed a plan for both courses.

And with the same concept in mind, many
Added Jim Clay, Director of Golf at the Club at New Seabury: “The work completed on our property has enhanced each course while maintaining the unique characteristics each course in known for. The modifications made look like they’ve been here for years, they look natural and blend well with the course and its surroundings.”
