Oakridge Photo Update

Here are a few progress photos from this week...

Wall Update #5

We knew the wall on #5 was failing, although we really didn't understand the extent until we de-watered the lagoon and were able to see first hand the decay of the wood.  The photos below give you a much better appreciation for exactly why this work was necessary.  Currently we are working on establishing the rough grade of the new slope and anticipate installing the "turf reinforcement mat" beginning early next week.  We have scheduled grassing of the bank for June 11th and 12th.

Oakridge Project highlight - Practice Facility Plans

Beginning today, we close the Oakridge Practice Facility. We are incorporating work in this area to upgrade the practice facility as part of the Oakridge restoration project.  Current plans include:

• Conversion of asphalt paths to concrete
• Repairing root intrusion along the “member path” to the back range tee, along the #10 side of the range
• Removing redundant paths and improving the safety and flow of traffic
• Defining parking spaces and curbing to prevent parking on the turf
• Improving irrigation coverage and efficiency
• Defining range targets and enhancing the short game practice facility
• Laser leveling and regrassing of both range tees with Celebration bermuda grass
• Re-landscaping the pro shop and range areas

It is our desire to get the Practice facility re-opened to members as soon as possible and anticipate that re-opening within 2-3 weeks.  We appreciate your understanding on the closure while the work takes place.

Oakridge Restoration

The work surrounding the wall project behind #5 green at Oakridge started this week. Lowering the water level of the lagoon and sod stripping is taking place in preparation for mass grading to begin on Monday.
