Valencia Country Club Renovation Earns Accolades from Golf Inc.
Valencia Country Club has been awarded first place for “Renovation of the Year” in Golf Inc. magazine’s private club category.
The architectural firm of Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design worked closely with Arcis Golf’s construction and agronomy teams to restore Jones’s original intent and historic significance, reduce water use and enhance the strategic options that were the centerpiece of Jones’s vision.
Fry/Straka studies classics for renovation at Valencia
The private course, located north of Los Angeles, was originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr and opened in 1965. The purpose of this year’s project, led by Jason Straka, was to restore Jones’s original design intent and classic features and enhance strategic options, while turf replacement, on all areas except greens, has reduced irrigation needs by 30 percent.
