We developed this blog to provide golf course maintenance information to our members. From projects, small and large, to updates on course conditions, we want to provide as much information as possible. Although we hope this blog answers all of the pertinent questions regarding our operation, we always welcome more personalized dialogue.

Winter Projects Update 3-16-2016


Over the past week, the construction crew has wrapped up all of their work on each project site. Chris Kelly and Landscapes Unlimited did a great job throughout the course. Now that the heavy lifting is over, our maintenance crew has been very busy laying sod. We have been laying 2-3 trucks per day for the past 7 days straight. All in all, we are about 95% complete with each of the projects.

Winter Projects Update 3-3-2016

We are happy to report that sod is going down on many of the projects.  Project areas are getting their final grade and they are rounding out nicely.  

After #3 tee tops were finished we added new lines of Tall and Fine Fescue.  The Fine Fescue will add a nice element of texture.


We continue the same principle here on #6 tee with the Fescue lines.


We have finished laying fairway sod on #9.  The open area you see will be the new intermediate line.


This is the continuation of #10 creek and will channel through #18 fairway.  


We have sodded around #11 tee with Tall Fescue, and will have Fine Fescue sweeping around.  The Bentgrass Tee top will be coming soon.



We have started laying sod on #11 fairway, and we will finish the area off with intermediate and Fescues.


This will be an extension of #11 fairway and give the creek a finished look.


We have started sodding the left side of #12 fairway, and will shortly be finishing the right side.
