Did You Know..? Red Wing Lake Facts
· The property was once owned by the U.S. Navy and given to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
· The City of Virginia Beach leased the property from the state for $20 a year and constructed the course as designed by George W. Cobb in 1968.
· The City purchased the property in 1996 and closed for renovations in December 2004.
· The course was renovated by Landscape Unlimited, L.L.C. as designed by the Kevin Tucker Design Group, Inc. and re-opened in September 2006.
· The renovations required over 22 miles of drainage and irrigation pipe, 618 sprinkler heads, 3.9 acres of greens and fringe, 383 drainage catch basins and 5.7 miles of cart path.
· The construction crews moved 174,000 cubic yards of dirt to shape the course.
· The largest green is number sixteen, which measures 8,060 square feet and the smallest green is number fifteen, which measures 6,080 square feet.
· Holes four and eight were redesigned in the field while under construction. Both had the tee areas relocated.
· 98% of the rain that falls on the course collects in the ponds, which are interconnected and serve as the source for irrigation.
· The maintenance building uses recycled oil from the course equipment to provide the heat during cooler times of the year.
· The makers of the Hoot System claim that one can drink the water after the treatment has been completed on the sewage generated at the site. |
