Concrete

Today we are starting the first of the new path installations. Our first priority is finishing the path work around the pro shop and front range area. We expect to be in that area for the remainder of this week.

We ask that you please refrain from driving through this area for the next 10 days as we allow the concrete to cure to full strength. Parking for the pro shop should utilize the main car parking lot until the barriers around the pro shop are removed. 

Marshwood Update

We are officially closed for the summer and work has begun on the course. The front nine collars were removed yesterday and 2 trucks of Celebration sod will be arriving shortly. Our goal this week is to have all front 9 collars re-sodded by Friday afternoon. Fairway preparation also began this week. We have started a deep vertical mowing to eliminate as much thatch as possible. This is the practice used to provide firm fairway conditions moving forward. This also helps provide more soil to the surface to allow the new sprigs a great environment to grow in.

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.
