BRIGHTON DALE LINKS
KENOSHA, WISCONSIN
Brighton Dale Golf Course was a 27 hole golf course owned and operated by the Kenosha County Parks Department. The existing golf course operated as three distinct nine hole courses. The David Gill Corporation was retained to prepare a Master Development Plan for an eighteen hole addition. The expanded and improved facility would play as two eighteen hole courses, with a separate nine hole course, and become the largest publicly owned golf facility in Wisconsin.
The 45 hole Master Plan required integration of new holes and existing holes into each of the eighteen hole courses. The new Par 72 eighteen hole East Course can play from 5735 yards from the forward tees to more than 7000 yards from the back tees. The new West Course also plays as a par 72. The 6700 yard plus (from the back tees) layout traverses rolling terrain covered with a mixture of pine plantation, oak savannah, and open grassland meadows.
Mr. Halberg has served as project manager on the Brighton Dale Golf Course project since July 1990. During his tenure as project manager, Mr. Halberg was responsible for detailed design development; contract document preparation; contract administration; and site observation and inspection.
The first nine holes of the new golf course opened for play in August 1992 with the second nine opening with the new golf season in 1993.
Brighton Dale is recognized by several golf publications:
- Golf Digest's "Places to Play in 1996-'97"
- White Birch Course Will develop into a fine course...Very well laid out. Very challenging...Picturesque, best value in the Midwest...Has everything, woods, water, character. Needs a little age. ....
- Blue Spruce Course - "Ample challenge..Best public course for the money in southeast Wisconsin...Nice straight forward course...Will go back to play again and again"
