Sod work

Sod work started 6/15. We expect the work to progress quickly and with as minimal an impact to golfers as possible.

The sod crew started with 1 and 10 tees and are moving down 1, 10, and 18 fairways. Once those 3 holes are complete, work will switch to completing the remaining tees. When tees are complete, we will circle back around and complete approaches. That will complete our top 3 priorities. We will reevaluate resources and scheduling at that point to determine the next step.

We will proceed to all of the tees as the second step to give them a few days or more head start on the healing process. That way golfers are not displaced from the tee complexes into the fairways for longer than necessary. The approaches do not take quite the beating that tees do. Approaches can also be played as “ground under repair” and have less affect on a round versus teeing from much shorter distance. Although we are optimistic that the Bermuda grass sod will heal in and start to grow quickly, it will take some time. Our goal is to open most new sod for the International tournament on July 4^th.

Please be aware of all new sod and the sod crew as you play. We will continue to get things repaired as quickly as possible. Thank you for your continued patience.

Etiquette Reminder of the Month

Please limit hitting extra shots on the course, especially if taking large divots or making ball marks.

Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:
