Goswick Links is well on its way to adding its first all-new hole since the 1960s with the construction of the par-3 7th<\/sup> designed by renowned golf course architects, Mackenzie & Ebert that replaces the existing par-3 9th<\/sup> hole.<\/p>\n

Goswick broke ground on the new hole near the end of 2025 and Golf Course Architect Tom Mackenzie signed off on the shaping of the tees, green and surrounds. Finishing work on the two greenside bunkers remains. The new hole will be ready for play in April.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just amazingly rewarding to see everything coming together,\u201d said Mackenzie during a recent site visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope we have delivered what we promised we were going to deliver in terms of the improvement to the front 9 and creating a really good new hole.\u201d<\/p>\n

MASTERPLAN<\/h3>\n

The creation of this new hole represents a major milestone in a front 9 improvement plan proposed by Mackenze & Ebert and approved overwhelmingly by the club\u2019s membership in 2022.<\/p>\n

Since then, Goswick has improved the 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> hole green surrounds, built new tees and significantly resculpted the green on the 4th<\/sup> hole, as well as building new tees on the 5th<\/sup> and 6th<\/sup> holes that have added length.<\/p>\n

At the same time that it carved out the new 7th<\/sup> hole, the club also built new dramatically positioned tees on what will become the 8th<\/sup> hole. Those, too, will be ready for play in April.<\/p>\n

The removal of the 9th<\/sup> hole now creates the opportunity to reroute the 1st<\/sup> hole and to build a world class short game practice facility.<\/p>\n

Those improvements are scheduled to begin in October. The Mackenzie & Ebert plan also calls for new tees and a new green for what will become the new 9th<\/sup> hole. The timing of that work remains to be set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
