GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENT Grant Suderman
Dear Members,
Spring has arrived as we are excited to welcome warm weather and golfers back to the course! Prior to turning the corner to the busy golf season, I want to highlight some of our most recent winter course enhancement projects. Over the winter months we put emphasis on evaluating ways to improve the golf course and member experience. Below is an update of some our most recent course enhancement projects.
#18 GOLD TEE STAIRS
We recently constructed a rock stairway leading up to the gold tee surface on hole #18. Assistant Superintendent, Stephen Wilds did a great job shaping and installing this feature. These rock steps match the previously installed rock stairway leading to the black tee surface also located on hole #18.
Fairway Drainage
Drainage was installed last winter on holes #3 & 10 to eliminate wet fairway areas which provided great results We have again started installing drainage to problem areas on holes #1,3,9 & 17. These holes were chosen due to having extensive problematic areas and/or traffic flow limitations due to the wet conditions. We will continue to evaluate adding fairway drainage throughout the property to enhance playing conditions.
