Renovation Update

A couple of heavy rain events slowed production of bunker shaping for a few days however we remain on schedule for substantial completion by mid November.  Bunker work continues with holes 8 and 9 the only remaining holes to shape.  Better Billy Bunker, sand and sod are following closely behind having progressed through 10, 4 and 15 near the halfway house.  Greens tees and fairways are filling in nicely and have all been mowed except for the 18th fairway.


Crisp fall days are perfect for completing the project.  Next week looks to be more of the same.

Despite the heavy rain events the BBB and ProAngle sand are performing as advertised.  Not a single washout!


Poa annua roots (right) from the PPG are no match for 007 Bentgrass (left) from the 13th green.


Squirrels are not helping the cause here!


We've utilized covers to help keep the soil temperatures warm and aide growth as well as keep the squirrels off.
