Honeybrook Golf Club is nestled among the Amish farms of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Open to the public every day, Honeybrook is a mixture of wide-open links, tree-lined fairways, protected wetlands, breathtaking vistas, and subtle elevation changes that combine natural beauty and great golf. The Piersol family established this golf course 25 years ago from their former dairy farm site, and agriculture is still a big part of the Piersol family heritage.
During this field trip, our own President, Michael Fidanza, will help us understand the challenges from a turf management perspective by examining a case situation where neighbor relations led to rethinking the course and relocating a hole with significant challenges. Dr. Fidanza will also weave some basic turf management principles into this interesting overview of a specialized horticulture application.
