wider range of golfers at different skill levels,” said Sue Martin, Parks and Recreation team member who managed the golf course and shepherded the restoration. “Traditionally, red tees have been the closest to a hole, then white and blue tees farther away. Golf is evolving. With three additional tee distances, more options are available for golfers at Bobby Jones to have fun and add variety to their game, whether they’re a novice or lifelong player.” The adjoining 90-acre Nature Park features crushed shell and decommissioned golf cart paths repurposed into walking/bicycling trails around the newly created wetlands teeming with wildlife. The primary 1.57-mile Eagle Trail has three offshoots, Prairie Trail (.4 mile), Hammock Trail (.12 mile) and Osprey Trail (.07 mile). The nature park is free and open to the public daily from dawn to dusk. For more information, or to book a tee time visit: www.BobbyJonesGolfClub.com.
