Course Projects

Right now we have a few course projects that are currently being worked on and completed.

We are in the process of removing the section of fairway cut that runs around both sides of the fairway bunker on the third hole. We are taking the existing bentgrass turf and re sodding the blue/gold tee on 10, the gold tee on 17, two thin areas on the fifth fairway and some areas on the fourth tee and seventh tee. The two areas on three will then be re sodded with bluegrass and made rough height. We have also made the area between the green side bunker and the fairway bunker on three from rough cut to a fairway cut now.

We are also starting to incorporate more ornamental and native grasses called love grass and little bluestem throughout the golf course. These grasses will add an aesthetically pleasing contrast with the brown color of the grasses from the green fine turf areas of the golf course and will help with reducing water and labor to keep these areas as fine cut turf. This is also going to help decrease the amount of acreage of rough that needs to be mowed. With our sandy soil and severe slopes these grasses will do great. Most of these areas that are being done are out of play areas that will not affect the playability of the golf course but will enhance the aesthetics. One area that is completed is the gold tee bank of the third hole.
