Construction update

As we push through July, construction on holes 2 and 18 is in full swing. New bunkers were constructed in the same style as previous years and drainage was added to a wet area short and right of 2 green. We also extended the approach around to the left of the green in preparation for the future as we start to use the tee box that plays over the water more frequently. A truck load of sod was laid around 2 green and bunkers last week, and the remaining open soil will be covered early this week.  For now, the new bunkers and sod are all "Ground Under Repair" and are not to be played from until fully healed. We expect to open the bunkers and approach in 10-14 days.

Demolition and reshaping of 18 tee is well under way, also. The new 18 tee will consist of the same rectangular tees as in previous phases, sodded to Bermuda grass, with varying lengths that gives the Grounds department the flexibility to make the hole play different yardages, as well as spread traffic. The tees will be slightly lower in the front than the old tee used to be, and the new tees in the back will be slightly higher. This process will continue at the start of the week, along with the early stages of drainage at the bottom of 18 fairway, as well.

We will continue to open each new portion of a hole as quickly as possible, as it matures enough to handle the foot traffic. Look for the hole construction diagram in the wooden pedestal to find the location of the tee markers as we shift things around to accommodate the work.

We thank you for your patience during construction, and if you have any questions let us know.

Etiquette Reminder of the Month

Please don’t stand in one place for an extended period of time to practice putting. Your footprints can be worn into the green.

See you on the course!
