Off-season Construction Begins

We are making great progress on our 14th tee expansion project.  The sod has been stripped, tees are being benched in, and we are beginning to see the general shape of the new tee complex.  The new tee will give us much needed additional teeing space in the Blue and Gold areas.

The show must go on!

Well...winter came in with a bang and seems to want to stay!  It kept us from getting out onto our projects on the fourth and fifth holes for a couple of days, but we don't have time to sit around.
Shovelling snow on holes four and five to continue construction in February.

Course Improvements


As we move into the winter, we start to concentrate on course improvements for the upcoming season.  We will be renovating the fifth tee complex to not only add much needed tee space in the gold/blue areas, but also to change the angle of attack from our back tee.  We will also be adding a bentgrass collection area around the back left side of the green.  We have started shaping and cleaning up the creek on our fourth hole.  This project will not only help enhance the aesthetics of the area in front of the green, but it will also help speed up play throughout the season.  Stay tuned for updates on these projects and others in upcoming weeks.
