Lazy Swan Expanding to 18 Holes

The Lazy Swan Golf and Country Club in Saugerties, New York is expanding to 18 holes.

Construction on the new nine is scheduled to to take place in the 2010 season with an opening date set for 2011. The first nine that I designed opened in 2008. Since that time, six buildings have been constructed that make up the "Village Area". The buildings include the clubhouse, pro-shop, locker rooms, snack shop, pilates studio, and cart barn. Currently, the banquet hall is under construction. The views from the facility will frame golf holes and mountain views. (See attached photo). The Banquet hall is scheduled to open in the summer of 2010.

The golf course was originally planned as a nine hole course. However, reviews from the golfers were so positive that the owner, Tony Bacchi, decided to purchase additional land to build nine more holes. The holes will continue the overall themes created in the first nine and will enhance the diversity of the course by moving in and out of some beautifully wooded areas. The routing is complete and the project has been granted sketch plan approval. We anticipate a spring groundbreaking once final permits are secured.
