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.

1. 6 holes are completely finished and 3 more in the construction phase.
2. A total of 105 trees have been removed and stumps cleared.
3. Over 200,000 square feet of sod has been installed.
4. Over 40 french drains installed with thousands of linear feet of drainage pipe.
5. Two entire greens complexes rebuilt
6. 32 new bunkers built w/ 22 bunkers completely finished
7. 5 new tees have been built
8. 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.
