Maintenance Update

Aerification Update

We have completed fairway and rough aerification on the front 9. We will be taking a break during the week of October 15 - October 21 due to the upcoming Men's Club Member/Guest tournament. The tournament will be held Friday the 19th through Sunday the 21st of October.  This gives us the opportunity to focus on other areas and prep the course for the tournament.  There are still plenty of open spots available.  Check with Gregg or Johnny in the pro shop if you are interested in playing.
Aerification will resume on the back 9 starting Monday October 22nd. Thank you for your patience during this process. I know it can get a little messy with all those plugs around.  Remember, it is for the long term health of the turf.

Maintenance Update

What is it?

I have been asked several times, "What are those dead spots on the greens next to the collars?"

These areas are where we sprayed bermudagrass that was encroaching on the greens.  Our greens are mostly a combination of bentgrass and Poa Annua . Some golf courses have bermudagrass greens, but we don't want this grass invading our greens.  Bermudagrass loves the heat and spreads rapidly during the summer months.  We use a selective herbicide specifically designed to kill bermudagrass.  You may notice the bentgrass and poa yellowing or becoming discolored, but it will heal with time.
