About University of Maryland Golf Course
Come support the CPVFD and play on the recently renovated University of Maryland Golf Course, home of the 2010-2011 PGA Nationwide Tour Melwood Prince George's County Open. ------------------------------------ All the greens were re-built to USGA specifications and seeded with A1/A4 Bentgrass. The fairways were stripped, contour leveled and seeded with Perennial Ryegrass. Tee boxes were seeded withL-93/Princeville Bentgrass. The course will now have 5 sets of tees on each hole. Over 18 football fields of Tall Fescue/Kentucky Bluegrass sod were used for the green, tee, and fairway bunker surround areas. Sixty-five new bunkers where constructed with state-of-the-art drainage. A new concrete golf car path was re-routed from the old asphalt routing. The irrigation system was upgraded with the addition of 538 irrigation heads, more than doubling the old number. Tree-lines were selectively thinned to counteract encroachment over time. Plantings were made to improve visual quality and provide environmental enhancement.
