Norwich Golf Course Completes 1st Tee Beautification Project

W

ith courses around the state
working on upgrades to help with
the aesthetics of their properties, Norwich
Golf Club has undertaken a project that
will also help with golfer safety and traffic
on their course. Anyone who has played
Norwich Golf Club knows it is a wonderful
course, but there was always one question
every golfer had to ask, “How do I get to
the first tee?” Well, the staff at Norwich
has taken the steps to answer this question
indefinitely with a new construction project
of steps leading up the first tee.
This new construction will not only
make the first tee look wonderful, but will
also allow golfers to get to the tee without having to go through the parking lot right where cars come
in and out of the course. And with some new cart path paving and landscaping on the way, golfers
will be able to get their rounds underway through a more convenient and visually appealing manner.
