The development is planned on 34 acres of trust land located south of the Tribe\u2019s Red Hawk Casino.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting site with great potential,\u201d says Jeff Danner, Senior Golf Course Architect who will lead the project along with noted clubhouse architects,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swaback.com\/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Swaback Architects+Planners<\/a>. \u201cTogether with Jeff Denzak at Swaback, we will create family fun and entertainment for the Shingle Springs Tribal Community. With a focus on golf and outdoor spaces, it will not only serve those visiting and traveling along Highway 50 between Lake Tahoe and Sacramento, but residents throughout El Dorado Hills County.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plans call for a golf driving range with launch monitor and gaming technology, a 9-hole \u201cshort course\u201d and miniature golf course. The project will adhere to best environmental practices including water saving technology and sustainable approaches to building and operations. \u201cToday we are looking at combining golf with food, entertainment and activities,\u201d notes Jeff Denzak, a Senior Partner with Swaback. \u201cThe uses we envision are not meant to be static, but flexible and adaptable to change with trends, technology and the way people want to socialize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The design team will work closely with Acorn, the tribal community\u2019s official development entity, to program, plan and implement the project. Richardson | Danner will oversee a team of consultants including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ngf.org\/consulting-services\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">National Golf Foundation Consulting<\/a>\u00a0for golf market analysis; Synergy Consultants for golf entertainment integration; and PutTek for implementing the miniature golf concept.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new age,\u201d according to Forrest Richardson, Principal Golf Course Architect. \u201cWe\u2019re no longer designing just for the game we grew up playing, but for a new generation of golfers \u2014 many who simply want to have fun as opposed to keeping score. The biggest difference we see is how the playing board of the game is changing \u2014 today it\u2019s often smaller and highly connected. Today\u2019s golf facility is more interactive than any of us could ever have envisioned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Planning is scheduled to be complete by Fall 2022 with the project potentially breaking ground in 2023. \u201cThis new approach to golf is taking off across the world,\u201d adds Jeff Danner. \u201cThe realization that the most social game ever invented does not have to fit a certain mold is now, more than ever, at the forefront of how we approach projects to make them successful and sustainable into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning underway for new California facility to introduce golf to new players and cater to the golf enthusiast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1766,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1764\/revisions\/1766"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inedc.com\/22\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
