2014 Year In Review

During the December Greens and Grounds Committee meeting we took the time to review some of the accomplishments of 2014 benefitting the grounds at Isla. Simply maintaining the grounds is a full-time job, but we always strive to go above and beyond to accomplish even more for our members. As we prepare to enter 2015 I felt that this would be an appropriate time to share with you some of the highlights from the past year.

- Constructed new wall on #5

- Installed new sod and landscaping at clubhouse

- Planted bamboo along the parking lot right of #1

- Desingned and installed a butterfly garden

- Expanded the forward tee boxes on #'s 1, 2, and 5. Built a new forward tee on #9

- Added a total on 3900 linear feet of drainage on #'s 5, 6, 12, 13, 14 and 16

- Scalped rough down to fairway height and continued maintenance of increased fairway acreage

- Re-grassed the bottom half of #8 fairway using plugs from the May greens aerification

- Renovated front bunker on #15 green

- Planted new palms on beach by gazebo 

- Renovated landscaping in front of sign at front entrance

I wish all of you a Happy New Year!
