Golf Course Update

Things are moving along very well and we just keep knocking out and adding to our winter list of projects before the next season. Lately it has been a very wet winter season and mix that with our fairway top dressing program equals basically sand patties that take a while to dry out and drag into the fairway. We have knocked out a few fairways that have already been top dressed so they will look a little cleaner next time your out.

We have started our next drainage project on #3 fairway. This will alleviate the puddling of water on the cart path edge and the water that settles in the middle of the fairway, Once complete we will be onto the next drainage project located on #16 where the carts exit, stay tuned on that.

And finally we have some sod that will be delivered for the the top fairway on #16. We wanted to bring the fairway down a little bit and this will incorporate the 100 yard marker that was previously in the rough. The approach on #4 will be expanded on the right side of the green as you walk up. The reason for this is because we have done this on various other holes on the back and need to incorporate them on the front, it will be very subtle when complete and will look great.

Look closely and you can see the extension, or grass we cut
and will be replaced with bentgrass.
