Private to Public: Big transition leads to big improvement

摘要

Private golf couises have a reputation for superior amenities and conditioning, and many times that is true. After all, they generally have bigger budgets than public golf facilities, so they can hire more staff and purchase more equipment, pesticides, technology and so on. It might seem logical that when Casperkill Country Club in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., made the transition from a private to public course some years ago, the quality of the course would have been degraded in the process, Instead, the result has been improved conditioning and a growing reputation in the local area and beyond.
