New golf course operator will replace greens and tees with a synthetic surface
After more than 30 years operating a 9-hole golf course through its parks department, Libertyville (IL) officials have decided to cut their losses in an arrangement that will bring a new concept to the Par 3 layout along the Des Plaines River. The new operator plans to replace the greens and tee boxes with an artificial surface. "It's not your father's AstroTurf," said Blair Subry, BCS president and CEO. "We'll make the conditions better."
