Well-known local portrait artist Jamie Lindholm
of The Martinsville Studio has returned to her roots when she began painting
landscapes and still life with her project at Warrenbrook Golf Course on
Warrenville Road in Warren Township.
Between the 11th green and 12th
tee is a small concrete building that houses the ladies’ and men’s room. The
formerly nondescript exterior now sports a lovely painted window treatment and
flower box on the ladies’ side and a camouflage painting that blends in with
the landscape on the men’s side.
Playing golf on Tuesdays at Warrenbrook,
Lindholm was familiar with the facility centrally located on the 18-hole championship
golf course. Manager of the facility, Bill McCallum, discovering that his
regular customer was an artist, arranged to have the work completed.
“For what can best be described as a
concrete bunker is now a far more attractive facility that blends in nicely
with its surroundings,” commented McCallum.
“I really enjoy playing golf at Warrenbrook
and am happy to make a contribution to the landscape on the course,” add
Lindholm.
Warrenbrook is one of five championship golf
courses in the Somerset County Park System. In addition to Warrenbrook are
Neshanic Valley Golf Course in Neshanic Station, Green Knoll Golf Course in
Bridgewater, and Spooky Brook and Quail Brook Golf Courses in Franklin
Township.
It was recently announced that all five county
golf courses have been recognized as River-Friendly by the New Jersey Water
Supply Authority and as Groundwater Guardians by the Groundwater Foundation.
