We heard from you! In spring of 2021, we solicited feedback from golfers and Brookline residents as we look to create a comprehensive Landscape Master Plan for our beloved golf course. The Survey is now closed, and all feedback has been compiled. We received 576 submissions, thank you!
DRIVING RANGE LIGHTING PROPOSAL
One proposed capital investment presented in the Master Plan is the lighting of the driving range. In order to maintain affordable golf rates, and community events, we are proposing a project that would install modern LED sports lighting on the driving range. This project would allow us to extend operational hours during the important shoulder seasons when daylight is scarce.
We would like to invite you to learn more about this project at any of our upcoming meetings and public hearings. We are providing an outline of the goals for each of the meetings for your reference below.
