With the warmer weather looming we have begun to install sod on our winter projects. The fourth tee is completed and currently growing in. The temporary tees are located in front of the forward tee for the red, gold and white tees and behind the back tee for the blue tee. Due to the amount of play seen in the late fall and early spring, the forward tee was being over played with minimum recovery. Because of this we temporarily closed the forward tee so that both tees can be opened under optimum conditions. The good news is that both tees will be open for play in just a matter of weeks.

The seventeenth middle tee has its playing surface completely sodded with a majority of the rough sod around the edges in place. By having the playing surface sodded already we will be able to open the tee up sooner. Currently the white tee markers have been moved up to the forward tee.

The fairway expansion and rough to the right of 8 green has also been fully sodded. This project began with the removal of a rotting oak tree. With the tree gone the area was not pleasing to look at and offered little in terms of play. A small mound was constructed to challenge golfers and provide better aesthetics. The right side of 8 also had new irrigation installed which will keep the rough dense and lush throughout the season. The fairway has also been expanded to the right of the approach. It is important to remember to keep off of new sod while it is rooting to the ground, please follow all signs and markers to direct traffic. The current path to the green from the cart path is to go around the back right bunker.
