Day one of the project was extremely productive. All of #1 green is demo’d, and #5 green is close. Hartman Construction was prepared, and executed their plan efficiently. Our staff made the application to the fairway expansions, as well as assisted with irrigation demo. Soil from behind 6 green being used for #1 and 5 […]

The Stage is Set
On Monday, the golf course Master Plan work begins. #1 and 5 greens will go to temporaries in their fairways. You will see Hartman Constrution, along with our staff, begin the labor-intensive demo process. Because of design changes, both of these greens need a large amount of soil hauled to them. That soil will come […]

Yesterday marked 5 weeks of playing golf, that literally flew by. A lot of things have happened, and I’ve had a few consistent questions, so I’ll try to shed some light on them. Question #1: Why were the deep tine holes on #13, 14, and 15 greens larger than the rest of the course this […]

We’ve been slowly lowering the height of cut on these areas for the past 3 weeks, and are at a height that is now easily noticeable. These grassing lines are part of the Master Plan, which is bringing back the original Seth Raynor […]

It’s been a roller coaster winter, and just like we didn’t want, a few extra weeks of it. But Wednesday at 10:00, we can put all of that behind us, and kick off the season. The weather looks great, I hope you can join us! If you haven’t already heard, this winter was a tough […]

We just completed grooming the winter ski/walking trails on the front 9. With more snow on the way, we’ll plan to have both loops groomed by the weekend. Also, the deconstruction of the old bridge, and installation/construction of the new bridge has begun. The old bridge sections were removed today, and surprisingly, the concrete was […]
