NEW KENT, VA. (July 29, 2008) – Golf-course expert John Marshall has been named golf course superintendent at The Club at Viniterra, the new Rees Jones-designed 18-hole championship course being completed at the New Kent Vineyards residential community here.
Marshall, with more than 20 years experience in maintenance and care of golf courses, is sodding the spectacular new course this summer and fall. The Club at Viniterra is expected to open for member play next spring. Marshall has worked at golf courses in the Tidewater area for more than 14 years. Most recently, he was director of agronomy for the operator of the Royal New Kent, Stonehouse and Kiskiack golf courses in and around Williamsburg.
“We’re pleased to have John as superintendent of The Club at Viniterra because he’s well known in this region,” said Mickey Hayes, president of Kitty Hawk Land Company, the developer of the Viniterra gated residential community.
Marshall describes the Rees Jones-design as both challenging but enjoyable for all level of play. The Viniterra golf course incorporates a surprisingly wide variety of natural elevations. Multiple tee boxes can be found on each hole to provide flexibility for golfers of all skill levels. Marshall is an employee of ClubCorp, the World Leader in Private Clubs, which recently entered a partnership to manage the course and other recreational amenities that’s part of the New Kent Vineyards development between Richmond and Williamsburg.
The Club at Viniterra is the only course in the Middle Peninsula that has vineyards along fairways throughout - one of the signature hallmarks of the new Viniterra community. The development also boasts the new, beautiful New Kent Winery that began producing its own varieties of New Kent Vineyards wines this year.
In addition to the Viniterra course, ClubCorp will manage the future Viniterra clubhouse, pro shop, teaching studio and other amenities that include a swim and wellness center, restaurant and café.
