Silver Creek Updates Ross Classic



Silver Creek Country Club is a 27 hole private club located in Hellertown, PA.  be The original 18 hole course is a noteworthy gem.  It happened to be famous architect Donald Ross' last design in 1947.  The course which was once owned by Bethlehem Steel, is now a member owned course.  The membership has made a significant investment restoring the original 18.  In 2011, the Pennsylvania firm of Total Turf Golf was retained to renovate bunkers and tees.  In late 2012, Silver Creek retained Atlantic Irrigation to help them update their irrigation control system with a brand new PAR+ES Control System with Stratus 2 Central using Wireless Link Radio Communication and Freedom Remote Control System.  This significant update will maximize irrigation efficiency with excellent flow management.  The hand held remote system will allow quick and easy manual watering and ultimately, better turf conditioning and playability.  Atlantic assisted the club with the in house installation on all 27 holes. The club chose to finance this upgrade through an agreement Rain Bird Financial Services.
