Course Update 3/31/21

 We stayed busy these last two weeks of March thanks to the unusually warm and drier weather.  Tee aerification is complete on all three nines, along with approach aerification on Orchard & Grove.  We also continued cleaning up sticks and debris throughout the property, and began prepping bunkers.  Fairways have been mowed several times now and collars/approaches received a first cut of the season.  The turf is quickly greening up and it won't be long until we're back to our regular mowing routines.

Had to remove one more tree on the right side of Lakes 9 that was hanging over the rough too much.

Applying a healthy dose of sand to the tees prior to aerifying.

Aerifying over the sand helps work it into the turf canopy and keeps the holes open longer to incorporate more sand during brushing.

We started mowing the intermediate (step-cut) rough around greens and fairways.

Topdressing and aerifying approaches.

Here's the larger equipment we use to supply sand to the small topdresser used on greens, tees & approaches.
