GHA was retained by the Northbrook Park District to provide master planning assistance, surveying and civil engineering services of this 200-acre site in the Village of Northbrook. The renovation included grading and drainage improvements throughout the 27-hole golf course, reconstruction of the 300-yard driving range, new short game practice areas, a new 12,000 SF clubhouse, a new 255-space parking lot with enhanced circulation, sustainable design elements, and stormwater management.
Civil engineering services provided by GHA included master planning, cost opinions, topographic surveying, site grading, utility design, stormwater design, permitting acquisition, construction observation, construction layout, and contract administration assistance.
Sustainable design features were a major component of the plan and included naturalized detention ponds, sinuous bio-swales, bio-retention basins, permeable pavers, preservation of mature trees, and pollinator plant life.
