Renovation Week III

Another great week is under our belts and the weather is cooperating for the most part.  While we did lose one day to rain the remainder of the week was very productive.  We have also reached a milestone in any renovation as seed has been sown! 


Stone curbing from greens and tee cart path edges was removed this week in preparation for grading and relocation of cart paths in some areas.  


The drainage and gravel layers are complete on the 3rd green, and the 14th green is not far behind.  Greensmix is scheduled to arrive early next week.



Fourteen of our sixteen existing greens that received the fumigant were floated and seeded this week. Expansion work on the ninth and eleventh green will be completed early next week before seeding of our final two existing greens takes place.



The lake on #5 got bigger and so did the tees throughout the golf course!  Much of the fill from the lake is being used to expand and raise tees.



RCC staff focused on consolidating and leveling the existing drain inlets in fairways.  Damaged pipe is also being replaced in preparation for seeding next week.
