Green Tree CC in Midland, TX ('22,Tripp Davis)
« on: January 24, 2023, 03:12:25 PM »
  Tripp Davis returns to finish the job at Texas’ Green Tree Tripp Davis and Associates (TDA) is back at Green Tree Country Club in Midland, Texas, to begin construction on the West Nine. The club’s East Nine was completed in 2022 and opened for member play Labor Day weekend.
"The members have found that the East Nine design requires a thoughtful approach to playing each hole, and that the greens are challenging yet fair," said Wray Crippin, COO of Green Tree Country Club. "The East Nine has a fantastic turf quality, and the course went from flat West Texas land to a unique golf course with undulating fairways not commonly seen in this area. We are excited to see what Tripp will do on the West Nine."
TDA, along with golf course contractor Course Crafters, will focus on redoing all the tee complexes, fairways, bunkers and greens on the West Nine. Most of the irrigation will be upgraded. Tif 419 Bermuda will be used in the roughs and fairways, and the greens will have .007 Bent Grass.
New practice facilities along with a 20,000-square-foot lighted putting course named The Pine also were constructed last summer.
"Green Tree is one of the best clubs in West Texas and we are extremely proud of our association here as the design team for two major renovations," Davis said. "Course Crafters is off to a good start on the West Nine with project superintendent Terry Mausbac leading the charge and getting holes Nos. 1, 2, and 3 grassed before the Christmas holidays. The design of the golf course is really starting to pop thanks also to the talents of shaper Bill "Hollywood" Willingham. It has been a very creative project to create interest on such a flat site reminiscent of the classic style of Australian Sand Belt courses such as Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath."
Construction is expected to be complete in early summer, but the club is committed to not opening the course until it is fully ready.

Difficult to get past the name. Like naming Winged Foot “Desert Mountain.” Is this a redo or brand new course? Where in Midland is it?

Not sure what part of town but think it's been around since the 70's, always heard good things.
