Marple Township is set to begin major improvements to Paxon Hollow Country Club which will include changes to the first three holes of the golf course and the addition of a full scale Driving Range. This project will also include major upgrades to the golf operations infrastructure.
Two entirely new opening holes will be built, which when completed will replace the current first two holes. The third hole will get a new tee located near the current fifth green making the third hole a straight away par four playing from an elevated tee. A new full scale Driving Range will be built on the site of current holes one and two. The new starting hole sequence will be par 5, par 3, par 4. The new pratice range will be dual function, and can also be used as a six hole par three course for beginers and juniors. A new golf operations facility will be built directly adjaecent to the first tee. This new building will include the golf shop, men's and women's rest rooms, snack bar and patio. The picture below depicts all changes desribed above as well as a short game practice area on the site of our current irons only practice range. The short game practice area will not be part of this project but will remain in our long range plans.
The golf course will be fully open in it's current configuration for the entire 2025 golf season.
