May 2008 Construction Recap
As the 2008 construction season arrives, a recap of what work has
already occurred seems in order. The majority of earth work (dirt
moving) has been completed throughout the property. Large drainage pipe
as well as the main irrigation line is installed on the front nine. The
cart path bridges to cross the streams and wetlands in the property
have been constructed. Most importantly, the majority of the shaping
for the front nine has been completed. The plan for the near future is
to continue the installation of the remaining irrigation lines as well
as the sprinkler heads. In conjunction with that, the shaped ground
will be covered with topsoil. The next step will be the construction of
the features; greens, tees, bunkers, and cart paths, and finally
seeding.
Check back regularly, as the construction accelerates, this
page will be updated often.
