The new putting green is getting closer to opening. We are waiting for some small areas to completely grown in. Overall, the green is very healthy. We are hoping to have it open within the next three weeks. It is important to note that it will be a little slower then the other greens. It takes a couple years for the bentgrass to fully mature. Once it has, the speed will match the other greens.
Starting yesterday, the construction crew began sodding the 18th green complex. They have installed bentgrass for the fairway extensions, low cut bluegrass for the intermediate cut and turf type tall fescue for the rough. They also installed some fine fescue on the bunker edges. We plan to finish sodding by tonight but might need to purchase a small quantity more next week to fix some construction wounds.
