WCI Communities has named Rodney Whisman golf course superintendent at The Colony Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs.
With more than 14 years of experience as a head golf course superintendent and a Paspalum consultant both in the U.S. and overseas, Whisman brings extensive knowledge of maintaining Seashore Paspalum turf grass on greens, tees, fairways and roughs. Experienced in agronomy and all phases of golf course construction, Whisman was most recently head golf course superintendent at a golf and country club in Naples.
“During our summer improvement projects, Rodney’s expertise has been instrumental to help ensure the best possible golf experience for our returning members this season,” said The Colony Golf & Country Club General Manager Bob Radunz. “He is committed to helping us maintain the pride our members have in The Colony Golf & Country Club.”
