FRENCHMAN'S CREEK COUNTRY CLUB – SOUTH COURSE

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL (February 2002) — Weitz Golf International recently completed an 18-hole renovation at Frenchman's Creek Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The renovation under the direction of Robert E. Cupp of Cupp Design began on April 2, 2001 and was completed on time for play during the winter season of this year.

This fast paced renovation project included stripping and clearing the entire course and regrading the course per Mr. Cupp's directions. Additionally, a complete new irrigation system was installed. The renovated course features larger greens grassed with TifEagle, TifSport fairways, bunkers, new timber bridges, timber bulkheading, and custom colored cart paths. The renovated fairways are highlighted by new landscaping throughout the course.

Of the renovation project, Bob Cupp said, "Frenchman's Creek was an important project in my career almost thirty years ago. To be asked to renovate it after all this time makes me feel very good. And, we had a great contractor in Weitz. They performed beautifully, making the new Frenchman's Creek South into a modern golf course, but with all of the original flare. They did a great job."

This is the second renovation that Weitz Golf International has performed at Frenchman's Creek having completed the total renovation of the clubhouse in the Summer of 2001.
