Update on Golf Course Rennovation: 18 Hole course almost complete; now the grow in Phase.

They  are making great progress.  The seeding will be completed this week on the 18 hole course. Update pictures are posted in the gallery.
 
I took the Saturday 9/9 tour with Matt; the course is going to be awesome! If you have not signed up for a tour in September, sign up now!
  • The only hole left to seed is #1
  • New  sand is in most of the traps. This will allow it to settle over the next 12 months.
  • Most of the equipment is off the course (except #1, which will be completed this week).
  • They expect water to begin flowing from the retention tanks (under Duke Chld Field) thru the par 3 to the 18 hole course lakes soon.

We will continue to post picture updates to the Gallery (in the top toolbar) .

 Match Play Continues.

Most of the matches are on schedule ; a few are behind. Do your best to keep up with the deadlines.

Important Milestones in the Golf Course Rennovation:

  • The course closed November 1, 2022. and they have had decent weather to work.  Highlights of note:

    • November-December:

      • Removal of trees is completed. The picture updates in the gallery from November and December show the impact.

      • As they remove dirt, they are starting to  build up the fairways (Hole 12 fairway has been covered with 12-18 inches of dirt). Jeff Werstak's pictures in the gallery from Dec 11 do a great job of showing how much they will raise the fairways.

    • January:

      • The Lake is completed left of 17 (see Januray 16 contractor update) 

    • Feb-March:

      • soft conditions keep the work moving slowly

    • April -May

      • The clay from digging the new lake on 17/18/15 is being used to form the goilf course. 12-24 inches of topsoil is placed over the clay.This will not be a flat golf course! Water will run off to lakes or drainage areas. 

      • See the new bridge over the water on 12 in May 9 gallery pictures

    • June-July

      • massive amounts of clay and dirt are being moved to create the new course

      • most of the bunkers have been rebuilt

      • The lakes on holes 18,17 and 15 are pretty well completed.

    • August-Sept

      • All of  cart paths have been paved by end of August

      • Seeding commenced on the North end of the course around Aug 1

      • Seeding of the middle of the course around Aug 18-25; 18 was seeded Saturady 9/9

      • Water will begin to flow into the lakes in September

  • Kemper Sports has been hired to oversee the rennovation (Press release on December 16, 2022), and manage the course after its reopens in 2024.  An initial presentation on their plans was held Friday, January 6, at 5 PM at the Clubhouse.  

  • The course architect, Rick Jacobson, gave  a presentation on the project on Januray 18, 2023.
