Welcome

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. If you have questions beyond the information found on this blog, feel free to contact our golf course superintendent, Trevor Hedgepeth.

Kinloch Golf Club Enhancement Project - Week 10 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 10th Week Update!! Sod prep is nearly complete and sodding has now eclipsed 30 acres!!!

In our last update, we reported that we had laid over 19 acres of sod. Since that post, over the past 8 days, we have installed another 11 acres of turf. I cannot say enough about all of the teams involved. The productivity has been unreal!!

The 11th Hole 



The 12th Hole 





We always knew that holes 10-13 would be our biggest challenge with respect to stripping and sodding. They have the most Bermuda contamination and across those three golf holes, we eradicated nearly all of the primary rough. And although the pace is still frantic, we are happy to report that holes 10-12 are complete and 13 and 14 are nearly done. In addition, the strip and prep operation is nearly finished with #18. Our pace continues to be excellent!! 

The 15th and 16th Holes - Prepped for Grass 



In a project of this scope, we stay away from projections or forecasts. And not to mention, I am extremely superstitious:) But I will say that our current schedule is very exciting!!

The training center hard-scapes have begun and will be complete next week. 



The clubhouse renovation continues as well. The kitchen is nearing completion and the interior of the clubhouse is prepped and ready for carpet, paint, etc.
