         Pre renovation


         Bethesda Country Club’s playing corridors began quite tight, which limited the playability of the course, es-
         pecially for doglegging holes like the par five 11th.  The overabundance of trees limited the number of fair-
         way bunkers and led to a repetitive golf experience across Bethesda’s parallel holes.

         Our improvements  concentrated on extensive tree management to increase the course’s width and strate-
         gy.  In turn, our improvements added a total 13 fairway bunkers, six of which are positioned on the 11th and
         are playfully titled  “Hell’s Quarter-Acre”.
