In addition there are 10 private golf courses in Indian River County that are not available for play by the general public. The 1991 Project The 1991 Project will consist of the construction of an additional 18 holes to the Sandridge Golf Course, and construction of a permanent 7,000 square foot clubhouse, a golf cart building and a maintenance building. The golf course portion of the 1991 Project is being designed by Links Design, Inc., which designed the original 18 holes. The President of Links Design, Inc. is Ronald M. Garl, and he and his company have designed over 125 golf courses, 76 of which are in the State of Florida. According to the most recent annual report in "Florida Golfer", seven of Florida's top 60 golf courses were designed by Ron Garl. Kimley- Horn and Associates, Inc. is the project engineer for the golf course portion of the 1991 Project. The clubhouse, golf course building and maintenance building are being designed by C. E. Block, a Vero Beach based architect. The golf course construction at the new 18 holes at Sandridge will generally involve the following: (1) clearing, (2) lake excavation, (3) shaping of golf course features, (4) installation of irrigation system, and (5) grassing of the golf course. The new 18 holes at Sandridge will present a par 72 golf course 6,250 yards in length, with a challenging, diverse golf course design. With the strategic location of hazards and bunkers, multiple tee placement, and the incorporation of wetlands and native vegetation, this new course will challenge all levels of ability. The course will promote shot value and a playable balance (appropriate mix of hole distances) which should test every club in a player's bag. Today, a more sophisticated public golfer is looking for new courses having the quality and distinction of Sandridge, and the new 18 holes will certainly add to the unique golfing experience already found at Sandridge. 17
