Due to the overwhelming positive comments we received this year about our new expanded intermediate rough cuts, we will be adding a few more. These new areas will be found on holes #1,#3,#7,#15 and #18. All in all these areas will make up about 40,000 sq ft or just under an acre of new intermediate rough.
These extra cuts are targeted in areas where the higher handicap players tend to hit, now these areas will be more player friendly and help with pace of play.
The ditch crossing work on the eleventh hole is now complete. After several weeks of re-grading and the installation of extensive drainage, today the new sod was put down.
Now that the work is complete cart traffic will be restricted in this area until next spring allowing the new sod to become established.
From a pace of play and maintenance standpoint this area will now become greatly improved. The main area of the ditch will now be mowed grass that will better handle cart traffic and additionally if your ball lands in this area you will be able to quickly locate it.

For those of you who have played in the last week you have probably noticed something missing with the new sprinkler heads. All of the newly installed heads in the fairway do not have yardage numbers on them.
The yardages will be shot from each of the new heads and will be labeled on all that fall within the 75yd to 250 yd range. This will not occur until all of the new heads are installed throughout the course. Once all of the heads are labeled the existing yardage markers, will be removed in efforts to help remove some of the clutter found in the fairways.
