Invited, the world’s largest owner and operator of private golf clubs, has completed the second phase of a multimillion-dollar golf course renovation project at Canyon Creek Country Club in Richardson, Texas.
Now extended to 7,037 yards, Canyon Creek will play as a par 72 thanks to strategic portions of the course lengthened with new tee boxes added to cater to a broader range of players and offer more shot variety.
The newly lengthened driving range and enhanced features, including Trackman, premier turf, new targets, and practice accessories, complete the golf improvements.
Additionally, designs for a completely revamped clubhouse, including new bar and dining areas, fitness, a kid’s club, and an enhanced pro shop, are nearing completion. Clubhouse renovations are to be completed by the summer of 2024.
These enhancements are comprehensively reshaping the member experience. Earlier this year, the club opened a new pickleball facility which includes 10 courts, along with a new resort-style swimming pool.
“Once we complete the transformation, Canyon Creek Country Club will rank among our finest clubs in the Invited Clubs portfolio,” said Invited CEO David Pillsbury. “Our Members now can enjoy a modern, fun, playable but challenging golf experience with enhancements throughout the course. Members and their guests can look forward to a brand new course complete with new tees, fairways, and reimagined green complexes.
“The transformation won’t stop at the course as the entire property and experience will be elevated. We aim to elevate every aspect of the Member experience and create a premier, family-first Club marked by unparalleled service and a full range of first-class amenities.”
The course changes and improvements will enhance the experience for players of every skill level. Enhancements to the golf course include:
- G12 Champion Greens and TifTuf Bermudagrass tee boxes, fairways, rough, and collars.
- TifTuf has numerous qualities that make it a sustainable surface for tees, approaches, fairways and rough, including drought tolerance and a reduced need for irrigation. TifTuf uses 38 percent less water and retains 95 percent more green leaf tissue during drought stress than other surfaces.
- CHAMPION G12 has significantly more vigorous rooting with greater total root mass. This results in improved plant health, a greater resistance to stress, improved recuperative abilities, and improved irrigation management.
- All tee renovations include laser-leveled new TifTuf Bermudagrass.
- In addition to the new turf on the greens, many greens were redesigned to create new hole locations and more shot-making variety.
- Redesign of bunkers to deliver championship consistency and improved definition throughout the course.
- Upgraded Trackman system with a screen and features for leagues.
