New 47 tees (4,700 yard course) coming on great. These tees have been designed to help golfers at the beginning of their golf journey and for those with a carry of less than 100 yards. Tees have been built on the other side of carries so ALL golfers can enjoy the game they love

So after 6 years and 71 bunkers the final base has been laid today! Can’t say enough about the talent and commitment of ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ Greens Team. They have done an incredible job and made the whole thing possible #good2great ❤️

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Absolutely stunning day today at Pleasington. ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ not content with rebuilding 3 holes had the course in brilliant condition. Privilege to play it today in firm and sunny conditions 😎. Greens are running so well 🔥🔥

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Been a very topsy turvy week weather wise but we have still managed to make a lot of progress. ⁦@GreasleyGolf⁩ top soiling the 4 new bunkers and then the approach and green surround. This hole is going to be stunning 🎺🎺 #good2great

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

The turf for our 4th hole being harvested this morning at Lancashire Turf Supplies. Great service and was on site within 3 hours. With a dry forecast looking forward to getting it laid tomorrow 😎

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Turf that was saved whilst the new mounds and new bunker were built on the 4th hole laid back down again. This should really help it all blend in naturally. Going to be a brilliant hole when it’s finished. Big shout to ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ who got stuck in despite the very conditions

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

New larger greenside bunker shaped, and base in on the 4th hole today. Great day for building bunkers - long may it continue😎 ⁦@GreasleyGolf⁩ ⁦⁦@pgcgolf⁩

The End of the Road! For 133 years the road ran through the 17th. It really was removing any chance of having a front pin, was hard to carry for many of our Ladies and seniors, and was causing rules issues. It also stopped water getting away from the fairway. #Good2Great

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Great drone shot of the drainage work done by ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ this week on the 16th green. Nearly 750m2 and with numerous slopes and fall offs it’s been a really big job. It was quick down the hills before so looking forward to seeing how fast it is once the surface is drier!

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

A big day as Phase 6 of our Good2Great course restoration program begins - the final phase focusses on holes 4, 13, & 17. The holes will be transformed with the roads removed from play, bunkers moved and modernised, & tees re-built. ⁦@GreasleyGolf⁩ & ⁦@creative_golf⁩

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Work began today to install drainage in to the par 3 16th green. Great job by ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ with advice from Ryan Dixon. Now we have our own trencher and hopper we can dictate our own timeline. The last 3 greens 3, 17, & 18 will be completed in the next few weeks. #good2great

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Big win for the ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ Greens Team in the match versus the Artisans team. Great game played in vey good spirits - massive thanks to all our Artisans and greens staff for the great job they do 👏👏

[Dave Hebden @HebdenDave]

What an amazing experience, changing the holes and white lining them for the @DPWorldTour at @LubkerGolf. A massive thank you to @greenkeeper1 for the opportunity and looking after us. ⛳️

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

Team hard at work whilst the course is shut for greens maintenance removing gorse from some of the areas where we are regenerating heather. Heather is coming through so well and will no doubt thrive even more without the spikey competition 🌵🌵 #heathland #ecology

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

The area in front of the 4th tee has been stripped & lowered whilst the course is shut. We will also raise the new tee so the fairway and new bunkers are clearly visible. A large heather carry will also be established in the stripped area. Great work by ⁦@chriscardinal7⁩ 🚜

[Chris Cardinal @chriscardinal7]

@PleasingtonGolf @ChrisMHarding @HebdenDave Long may it continue!!

[British & International Golf Greenkeepers Assn. @BIGGALtd]

We loved hearing all about the trip to Dublin the greenkeeping team at @PleasingtonGolf were treated to in recognition of their efforts.

Read all about it on page 9 of this months Greenkeeper International magazine.

The weather has been up and down this last month, but one thing at @PleasingtonGolf is how good our grass paths are looking ⛳️

[Pleasington GolfClub @PleasingtonGolf]

⁦@ChrisMHarding⁩ and his team ⁦@pgcgolf⁩ have done a brilliant job developing the grass path network across the course. Really adds so much to the course and its natural feel
