  Had a great round at Edgewater and got to check out what’s under construction and in the plans for the next 1-2 years.

  First the golf course. Conditions were pretty good for late summer. The A1/A4 Bentgrass greens were soft due to recent rains but they rolled well. Not a crazy amount of old ball marks, but definitely some. They are certainly doing their best, though, with “Fix your ball marks” signs next to every green.

  The tees, fairways and rough were all pretty lush with no issues. I didn’t visit too many bunkers but they seemed to be in good shape too.

  The layout is still fabulous starting with the downhill drivable par 4. There are also tremendous elevation drops from the par 5 6th and par 4 7th tee boxes down to the fairways. The par 4 9th bookends the front nine with another reachable par 4 back up the hill.

  On the back nine, you finish with an uphill but reachable par 5 and then another downhill/uphill par 4 with 2 tall pine trees between the tee box and fairway (!). They are intimidating but with a decent drive you can fly right over them.

  Edgewater is a fixture in my Top 10 each year and I always enjoy getting down to Lancaster to play it.

  Jimmy Grappone from True Homes was my host for this round and gave me the scoop on the exciting additions currently under construction and coming soon. How about this: a $20 million, 18,000 sq ft clubhouse including a new pro shop, restaurant & bar, expected to open in late Spring / early Summer 2025, along with a 1-acre putting green & short game practice facility, and 16 pickleball courts. They are also putting in TopGolf TopTracer covered bays on the driving range that should be open by September.

  The current pro shop will become a wedding and event hosting venue and there are plans for a 9-hole short course on the land next to it.

  Check my recent Instagram post for photos of the course and a rendering of the new clubhouse facilities.

  I’m going to have to start making the trip to play Edgewater more often.
