Tee Markers: Construction and Repainting

We have begun repairing last season's tee markers. Every winter we gather last season's tee markers and repaint them. We first clean off and dirt and grime that had accumulated on the tee markers. We then lightly sand them and give them a nice, fresh coat of paint.  
Some of the tee markers suffer damage over the years and need to be replaced. We take long oak posts and cut them down into blocks. The blocks are then sanded, primed and then painted.
Keep an eye out for brand new tee markers this spring.

We give last season's tee markers a quick sand before we paint them.

Audubon Certification!

The Ipswich Country Club has been working closely with Audubon International in order to conserve the environment with which we share our golf course. Audubon International has a set of guidelines and goals that they use to instruct individuals and organizations on ways to conserve the environment and educate the public on their efforts.
We have just completed all of these goals and have obtained our certification. We are extremely proud to be one of twelve golf course in Massachusetts that have earned this certification. We intend to continue working with Audubon International in order to maintain our certification and to make sure that we have as little impact on the surrounding environment as possible.
