Restore

The process of returning golf course features, such as bunkers, greens, or architectural elements, to their original design specifications or historical conditions. Course restoration projects often involve research into original architect intentions, historical photographs, and traditional construction methods. Famous restoration projects include work at courses like Pinehurst No. 2 and Oakmont Country Club, where original design elements were carefully reconstructed. Restoration differs from renovation by emphasizing historical accuracy and original design philosophy rather than modern improvements. These projects help preserve golf's architectural heritage and classic playing experiences.
