Whitford's golf course underwent extensive renovations aimed at enhancing the overall experience for both members and guests last winter.

This winter, the course will undergo a full scale bunker renovation, along with extensive approach and shortgrass expansions. The club has also started to implement a tree management program to enhance playability and turf quality. 

Along with this work, many in-house projects have been completed and are slated for later in 2024/ 2025.

The course has a 3 year old full HDPE Rainbird IC irrigation system.
