I have been asked a few dozen times if the bunker in front of the #8 green is going to be removed. Well....here is your approach shot on #8 with NO BUNKER! Sod will be installed next week!

The weather has been great this week helping us make progress on holes 8,10, & 18. Today we started adding the greens mix to the greens cavity on #10 and started adding sand to the bunkers on #8. The pictures below are the fairway bunkers on 8 with newly added sand. Both holes will be sodded early next week!!!

As the project nears the halfway point and the weather is bringing our progress to a screeching halt, I want to update everybody where we stand and what has been accomplished.
As the project nears the halfway point and the weather is bringing our progress to a screeching halt, I want to update everybody where we stand and what has been accomplished.
- 6 holes are completely finished and 3 more in the construction phase.
- A total of 105 trees have been removed and stumps cleared.
- Over 200,000 square feet of sod has been installed.
- Over 40 french drains installed with thousands of linear feet of drainage pipe.
- Two entire greens complexes rebuilt
- 32 new bunkers built w/ 22 bunkers completely finished
- 5 new tees have been built
- 150 tons of sand delivered on site
As you can see we have accomplished a lot since September 9th with plans on getting a few more holes finished up before winter settles in.
The picture below is a close up of the sod on 6 green. As you can see...the healthy white fibrous roots are starting to really grab and I couldn't be happier with the progress!

Had a great turnout for my tour yesterday! Please keep an eye out for the next tour as we wait for some better weather before we schedule.
Below you can see in the picture of #18 tee that the tees have been stripped of the sod and used on the new tees on #6. It's a great way to keep some of the costs down and recycle as much sod as possible. We are supplementing sodding these areas with the grounds staff and had just enough to finish sodding all of the new tees on #6.

Today was a good day as we had 16 holes available for the membership to play. But things are moving quickly this week in fact hole #6 got seven truck loads of sod just today, so I wanted to update everyone on what holes are open and which holes are closed.
Starting tomorrow, holes 6,8,10, & 18 will be closed, with the chipping area being played as #10. I'm extremely happy that we are able to still have 15 holes open in the middle of such a large project.
As always feel free to email me at hlynch@columbinecc.com or call (303-726-0811) if you have any questions or concerns. Feel free to join me and ask questions during my GCMP tour this Thursday at 5pm or Saturday at 11am.

Next week... holes 5,6,7,8 and 10 will be closed. Please remember holes 7 and 10 have replacements. I know this is confusing but please ask the golf shop if you have any questions and follow all signage on the course.
Also....as we near the halfway point of the project, there is a number of places with new sod. Please stay away from any of these areas with golf carts. Walking and playing from these areas is permitted but please try to keep carts away from any new construction. Thank you!
Below I have attached pictures of the new green side bunkers on #8. Take a look....still have 3 green side bunkers but have removed the bunker in front of the green. There are 2 smaller bunkers on the south side and one bunker on the north side. Greg feels having no bunker to hit over on such a long hole is a great improvement.
