Kinloch Golf Club Enhancement Project - Week 5 Update

Friday, July 5th, Kinloch Golf Club, in conjunction with Landscapes Unlimited, began our summer-long, facility enhancement project. As we travel through the project, please check in for weekly blog posts which will update our progress. 

Thanks for all of your support as we are very excited about this project and the product we will offer this coming fall!!! 

This is the 5th Week Update!! Progress continues to be incredible!!


Since our last post, the inside renovation of the clubhouse has really taken off. Below are some shots of the locker room, great room and kitchen... respectively. 




With our re-grassing initiative, the fairway stripping has begun. We have treated the Bermuda in the fairways 4 times with non-selective herbicide. Due to the lower height of cut, we are confident that these areas are ready for excavation and sod prep. We will not be laying sod for another 10 days, so if we should see any re-emergence of weeds, we will treat one final time before sodding. The cutters are almost through 9 and the clean-up/prep crew is through 5!!! 



In addition to the bunker and grassing renovations, we will be restoring over 2500 linear feet of our lake banks. That work began yesterday and it looks wonderful. 



The training center expansion continues to move along very nicely. We now have our clock 
back :) 
Early July 


Today, August 9th 


This is the final bunker to be completed. As I took this picture, the polymer was being applied and the sand is coming tomorrow. This would mean that Landscapes Unlimited has de-sanded, graveled, sprayed and re-sanded all of our bunkers in about 35 days!!! Incredible!!!


While our greens continue to just hang out:)
