The Villages Golf and Country Club will celebrate the completion of its long-anticipated Bunker Renovation Project with a Grand Re-opening Celebration on Sunday, April 27. The event, set to feature two shotgun starts at 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., marks a significant milestone for the community and showcases the beauty of The Villages’ largest asset.
Thanks to the steadfast backing of the Club Board of Directors and the Evergreen Villages Foundation, this major project came to life over a six-month period. The pristine new bunkers—already drawing admiration for their expert design by Villager Mike Poellot—were partially funded by the Dutch Johnson Legacy Fund, a meaningful bequest made through the Evergreen Villages Foundation and its Planned Giving program.
“This project shows what is possible when we all come together,” said Theresa Ostrander, General Manager. “I’m incredibly grateful for the support from the Club Board and the Evergreen Villages Foundation. Their leadership and generosity are helping us make real, lasting improvements that directly benefit our residents.”
To honor the patience and enthusiasm of members, The Villages is offering discounted greens fees on April 27—$20 for members and $55 for guests. The day’s festivities will include “Closest to the Hole” contests on Holes #4 and #11 and a no-host barbecue lunch and drinks on the Bistro Patio from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The celebration highlights the community spirit that defines The Villages, underscoring our shared mission to be the Country Club Community of Choice for Seniors in Northern California.
