Birchwood Farms Golf & Country Club Announces $5.502 Million in Major Infrastructure Upgrades

Ensures Long Term Sustainability for Future Generations

HARBOR SPRINGS, MI, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Birchwood Farms Golf & Country Club is advancing three significant infrastructure projects to ensure the long-term sustainability and excellence of its community. Work is progressing on a fourth municipal water well, a comprehensive modernization of the golf course irrigation system, and a major deck renovation. Total investment – $5.502 Million.
“These projects are fundamental investments for Birchwood’s future generations,” said Paul Marazzo, General Manager and COO. “By expanding our water capacity, upgrading our irrigation technology, and enhancing our facilities, we are proactively protecting our environment, maintaining our premier golf courses, and serving our growing community for decades to come.”

Ramsby Drilling, Indian River (https://ramsbydrilling.com/) has reached optimum depth for Birchwood Well #4, with all preliminary water quality samples submitted to the State of Michigan returning positive results. Electrical infrastructure, in partnership with Great Lakes Energy, is in process with final testing and full operational status anticipated in October 2026.

Simultaneously, the Club is undertaking a full-scale irrigation system upgrade. In August 2026, Thielen Turf Irrigation, Mt. Pleasant, (https://thielenturfirrigation.net/) began installing main supply lines through the roughs of the Farms and Birches courses, followed by fairway feeder lines this past September. The initial phase will continue through November 2026, pause for winter, and resume for final completion by June 2027.

In addition, a new deck renovation is scheduled further enhancing the community’s amenities and gathering spaces. Demolition of the current deck will take place in the coming weeks. Completion is targeted for Spring 2027.
