Golf Course Improvement Project Update
August 15, 2014
Rain, Rain, Go Away…. At least for the next three weeks! The cooler temperatures and rain have significantly slowed down the progress of the Bermuda fairways. The ideal weather for the next three weeks is sunny with high temperatures of at least 95 degrees and little to no rainfall.
The course is still on target to open on September 13th. The tees and greens will be great. The enlarged teeing areas will give us more flexibility with tee locations. As with all new courses, the fairways are going to be in good shape when we open but will not reach full maturity until next summer.
Work is underway on the new tee complex on hole #11. This will bring the total yardage on hole #11 to 551 yards. While constructing the tee complex, drainage will be added to the lot. This addition will significantly reduce standing water in this area.
The removal of old sand in the bunkers is complete. The process of refilling the bunkers has started and should be complete in about two weeks. The bunkers will be filled with sand that meets or exceeds the USGA specifications. This new sand will provide a more consistent playing surface in all of the bunkers.
