ROME — Rome Country Club has made many enhancements to provide for another successful year.

“2022 was one of the best we’ve had since I’ve been running the course over the past 20 years,” says Wes Cupp, owner of Rome Country Club, and director of business development for the Daily Sentinel. “The weather was friendly, membership was strong, and league/outing play was consistent.”

He continues, “This success allowed us to ramp up our capital investment budget that began in earnest in the fall.”

Every year, Rome Country Club strives to improve its course and equipment.

Since November of 2022, they have spent over $100,000 on capital improvements, which include bridge culverts, paving, six new carts, and a fairway unit, to make way for a successful 2023. $37,800 was spent on six new carts this past fall that will be delivered this coming spring. The carts are brand new EZGos with EFI (electronic fuel injection). They also have two USB ports, so you can keep your phone charged and your music bumping. Cupp adds that they also bought a new fairway mower.

As for tree management, their battle against the “big weeds” continues. Drier, healthier turf will result. The most notable differences can be seen between No. 17 tee and No. 10 green, left of the No. 3 and No. 14 tees.

This past fall, Rome Country Club also spent $30,000 resurfacing their current cart path system, reconstructing bridges, and adding a path to connect No. 12 ponds to the green.

This fully completes the back nine cart path system, which is a huge success for them. 

Rome Country Club is currently hiring seasonal employees. Their season is generally
late March through December 1, depending on Mother Nature, of course.
