Golf aficionados will be eagerly anticipating the reopening in seven months of one of the oldest courses in Southwest Florida.
Designed by famed golf-course architect Donald Ross in 1916 and opened in 1917, the Fort Myers Country Club is about to undergo a $5.8 million renovation by a team led by Wright Construction.
The 130-acre course owned by the city is known for allowing golfers to walk it year-round (almost all courses now require a golf cart). But as golfers with wet shoes know, “The Fort” also has drainage problems and sometimes closes when rain is excessive during the summer months.
Wright Construction will oversee the renovation of every part of the public course, including the fairways, the putting greens and the bunkers. In addition, crews will install a new irrigation and drainage system.
This is the first major renovation of the course since it opened nearly 100 years ago.
