CROWNSVILLE, MD. – Please join County Executive Steuart Pittman, Department of Recreation and Parks Director Rick Anthony and Indigo Golf Partners (Formerly Billy Casper Golf) for the ribbon cutting and re-opening of The Preserve at Eisenhower Golf Course on April 30, 2021 at 4:00 p.m.
Mr. Al Green will be honored at the ribbon cutting. In 1969 Al Green became the first African American Club Head Pro in the State of Maryland at
the Dwight D. Eisenhower Golf Course in Crownsville. During his playing career, he won more than 50 professional events. He has played in three
U.S Open tournaments and was also the first Black to participate in the PGA’s Club Pro Championship.
The Preserve at Eisenhower Golf Course named after the 34th U.S. President and avid golfer Dwight D. Eisenhower – will reopen to the public May 1 after a recent rebrand in concert with a $5 million renovation of the course. The Preserve will resume play after an extensive project covering a complete overhaul of the public-access layout. The eco-friendly approach is the brainchild of burgeoning golf course architect Andrew Green and highlighted by removal of all bunkers and installation of Bermuda grass fairways and tee boxes requiring less water and chemical inputs...
“We are delighted we can finally share the magnificent transformation Andrew and his team have been working on,” says Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman. “Local and visiting golfers will immediately notice how innovative the layout is and its continuation as an indispensable environmental refuge.”
The redesign coincided with a rebrand to “The Preserve” reflecting not only Eisenhower serving local players as a championship golf course, but its goal to become a sanctuary for local wildlife. The new name embodies a golf course layout that promotes sustainability and eco-friendly maintenance practices, including stream preservation, amid a majestic natural setting.
Undertaken in tandem with the Anne Arundel County Watershed Protection and Restoration Program an additional $5,587,556 of funding was utilized for a stream restoration and storm water management project, The Preserve will increase wetlands by more than 13 acres, bringing wildlife to the area, and include an abundance of boardwalk.
