Our expertise
Improve the course. Preserve its character.
From targeted renovations to full course construction, Henderson Golf delivers solutions that improve playability, protect your investment, and support long-term course performance.
Renovation & Restoration
Golf course renovation and restoration is about more than improving appearance. It’s about correcting underlying issues, restoring playability, and ensuring the course performs consistently under real conditions.
Over time, greens can lose integrity, bunkers can become inconsistent, and tees can struggle with wear and traffic. These issues impact not only the playing experience but also maintenance demands and long-term costs.
Henderson Golf approaches renovation with a focus on how each element functions as part of the whole course. We rebuild greens to improve drainage, firmness, and turf health. We reshape bunkers to restore strategy while improving consistency and reducing washouts. We rework tee complexes to better handle traffic and enhance playability across skill levels.
Our team works closely with architects and club leadership to ensure that every update respects the original design intent while addressing modern expectations. The result is a course that plays better, requires less reactive maintenance, and delivers a more consistent experience for your members.

Irrigation & Drainage
Water management is one of the most critical and often overlooked aspects of golf course performance. Poor drainage and inefficient irrigation can lead to inconsistent conditions, turf loss, and increased maintenance costs.
Henderson Golf designs and installs integrated irrigation and drainage systems that support both playability and long-term course health. We evaluate how water moves across your course, identifying problem areas in greens, fairways, and low-lying zones that impact performance.
Our irrigation solutions are designed to improve water distribution, reduce waste, and provide superintendents with better control over turf conditions. At the same time, our drainage work ensures that excess water is effectively removed, minimizing downtime after rain events and protecting key playing surfaces.
By addressing irrigation and drainage together, we help create a more predictable, manageable, and resilient course that performs consistently throughout the season.

New Construction
New golf course construction requires precision, coordination, and a deep understanding of how design translates into real-world performance.
Henderson Golf partners with developers, architects, and private clubs to bring new courses to life from the ground up. Our role goes beyond execution. We ensure that shaping, grading, drainage, and infrastructure all work together to support the long-term success of the course.
From initial earthmoving to final detailing, every phase is handled with a focus on accuracy and craftsmanship. We anticipate challenges before they impact timelines, manage resources efficiently, and maintain alignment with the project vision throughout construction.
The result is a golf course that not only reflects the architect’s intent but also performs reliably, drains properly, and holds up to consistent play over time.

Questions before breaking ground.
Golf course renovation can include rebuilding greens, reshaping or reconstructing bunkers, improving tee complexes, and correcting drainage issues. The goal is to restore consistent playability while addressing structural problems that develop over time. Each project is tailored to the course’s specific needs, design intent, and long-term maintenance goals.
Improving drainage involves evaluating how water moves across the course and identifying areas where it collects or impacts play. Solutions can include installing subsurface drainage systems, regrading surfaces, and improving bunker and green drainage. Effective drainage reduces downtime after rain, protects turf health, and improves overall course conditions.
Timelines vary depending on the scope of the project, site conditions, and weather. Smaller renovations may take weeks, while full course construction can take several months. A clear project plan, proper sequencing, and experienced management are critical to keeping timelines on track and minimizing disruption to play.
Yes. Modern irrigation systems improve water efficiency, reduce waste, and allow for more precise control over turf conditions. This can lead to healthier turf, fewer problem areas, and less reactive maintenance, ultimately lowering long-term operating costs.
Renovations can be phased to minimize disruption, depending on the scope of work. Many projects are scheduled during off-peak seasons or completed in stages to keep portions of the course open. Proper planning and communication ensure that members understand the improvements being made and the long-term benefits.
Balancing design intent with performance requires close collaboration with architects and a strong understanding of how courses function over time. The goal is to preserve the character and strategy of the original design while making adjustments that improve drainage, durability, and playability for today’s conditions.
