In 2016 We Opened With 18 Playable Holes
2015 Derryfield Country Club Course Renovation Project
What did the project entail?
Come Play The New Renovated Derryfield Country Club!
Derryfield Country Club completed a major renovation of the course in 2015. The project consisted of a new drainage system installed on holes 2, 3, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Over 15 miles of drain pipe was installed to keep those holes dry during the year after rain storms and will allow the club to open 18 holes in the spring instead of nine holes. A new irrigation system was also installed on holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. New Greens were built on holes 2, and 3 and the greens on holes 14, 15, 16, and 17 were restored to their original size and shape. New and expanded teeing grounds were added to holes 2, 3, 14, 15, 16, and 17. New fairway bunkers and greenside bunkers were added on holes 2, 3, 14, 16, and 17. A new cart path system was added to holes 1, 2, 3, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
