As we enter the 2017 season, snow has finally arrived and so has some very cold temperatures. Yesterday it was 9 degrees on the course in the morning. We have used the cold weather and frozen ground to preform some tree work. Saturday, Monday and today will continue to be marked with Aradar Tree Services pruning and removing trees. With very warm temperatures coming back later this week, we are hoping we can re-open the course very soon again.
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.
