Project Update - September 6

We continue to move towards the finish line on the bunker and tee project. The new forward tee on #15 was grassed today. This means the only sod installation remaining for the project is on #1 tee. We were scheduled to install the sod on Friday but heavy rain at the sod farm has delayed the installation date until this coming Monday. Fortunately, this gives our employees a little extra time to finalize irrigation installation and final grading.

We mowed the sod on holes 4, 5, 6, 13 and 14 yesterday. After further examination, our current plan is to reopen those holes to play beginning this weekend. The bunkers are marked and will be played as MANDATORY Ground Under Repair. We don't want anyone to walk on the bunker slopes at this time and ask that you do not remove the ropes or stakes for any reason. Because of this, the ground under repair will extend vertically to allow relief if your next shot might be interfered by the ropes and stakes. If your ball or stance lies within the marked area, if your swing is impacted by a rope or stake, or if your next shot might be impacted by the ropes and stakes you may take relief. To take relief you must drop within one club length of the nearest point of relief no closer to the hole. We will be restricting all cart traffic from the newly installed sod including those players with blue flags. This is important in minimizing the stress on the new grass. Thank you for following the restricted guidelines.
