Course Update

Throughout the fall a number of projects were completed to include tree trimming and fairway slicing to improve drainage.

This winter has been a rollercoaster ride as far as temperatures go. One day its -20 the next day it is above freezing. But I think there has been enough snow cover to protect the turf from temperature fluctuations.       

After we closed the course last fall I aggressively aerated the old fairways (1 to 6,16,17,18 of the 18 hole course and 1 to 9 on the 9 hole course). I concentrated on the low areas of the fairways where water sat last spring. This will help break up the layers in the soil and allow water to penetrate the soil faster.      

We did some tree removal last fall where trees had been down for a while but we never got around to cleaning them up.

We also replaced two culverts, one on the 18 fairway at the creak and the other one on 7 fairway on the 9 hole course at the creak.
 
See you in April.
