2008 Construction Recap

The front nine constructions is complete! September saw the finishing touches of construction on the front nine. Golf holes seven, eight, and one were finished just in time to allow for germination and growth this fall. Now it’s time to transition into golf course maintenance practices; mowing, fertilizing, watering, leaf blowing, and more mowing. There is also plenty of clean up from the construction to work on this fall. It was amazing to watch the construction site transform into green grass! We still got a lot of work to do, but playing golf is not too far away.
