The day has come! Our golf course project begins the morning of August 13th. Due to the work being performed, the fourth hole will play approximately 100 yards shorter to a temporary green beginning the morning of the 13th. This is due to the significant amount of construction that will take place around the #4 green complex. The temporary green is required not only for the safety of workers but for golfers as well. The green will open back up for play in a few weeks once it is safe for golfers and no longer detrimental to newly installed sod. (To be clear, the greens themselves are not under construction. The sod referred to here is the grass surrounding the greens and bunkers.)
Our project this summer entails reconstructing the slopes surrounding the greens on holes 4, 5, 6, 13, 14 and 15 as well as building a new tee on #1. The catalyst of the project is the need to reconstruct bunkers which are 12 years old. The age and condition of the current bunkers is such that adding new sand in not an option for success. It is necessary to completely rebuild the bunkers from the foundation up. We are taking advantage of this project to ensure the locations, shapes, sizes, depths and appearances of our bunkers and surrounding slopes are appropriate for the long-term enjoyment of our members.
I will be posting updates to this blog frequently throughout the project to keep you informed of the work being done as well as notify you of any interruptions there may be to the golf course.
