LandMar Group has completed more than $1 million in renovations to the golf course at Osprey Cove and has plans to take the Georgia golf and country club private. The transition is expected by the end of this year when the company completes a refurbishment and expansion of Osprey Cove’s marshfront clubhouse.
“We’re excited the golf course has been returned to its original splendor,” said M.G. Orender, president of Hampton Golf, LandMar’s golf development affiliate. “And with this improvement of the clubhouse, Osprey Cove will be better than ever. Now is the time to take this club private for our members and residents.”
The extensive refurbishment of the 18-hole Mark McCumber championship course at Osprey Cove has been ongoing since last year. During that time, significant improvements have been made including the construction of a new practice facility, new bunkers, completely re-grassed greens, new cart paths, a new 12th hole and improved drainage. The entire fairway was also raised as part of the golf course renovations, which have been directly managed by the original course designer, professional golfer Mark McCumber.
“After we are completely finished, the golf course will be more than worthy of its top five rating in Georgia,” Orender said. Golfweek named the Osprey Cove course in its “Top Five in Georgia” and Golf and Travel included Osprey Cove in its “Top 100 Modern Courses.” Golf Digest gave the course a four-star rating.
The clubhouse renovations are underway and will be finished by the end of the year. The expansion and renovation will add nearly 2,000 square feet of space to the clubhouse, which currently houses the club’s restaurant and pro shop.
