Our course renovations are scheduled for the end of August. The course will be closed from 2 PM on Sunday, August 25th, and will reopen on Friday, August 30th. During this time, our Greens Team, along with contractors, will be hard at work making improvements.
Contractors will begin work on the fairways on the Sunday afternoon with a large scarifying machine to de-thatch the turf by removing old organic matter. The dead grass will be collected in large trailers and removed from the course. Following the scarifying, we will core all the fairways with our large Verti-drain machine, removing five-inch plugs which will be left to dry and then rubbed back into the surface. The loose grass and thatch will be blown off, and the fairways will be cut to 10mm. Fertilizers and amendments will be applied to aid turf recovery.
This same process will be mirrored on the green surrounds and approaches. The recovery period for the fairways and green surrounds is approximately 2-4 weeks. Preferred lies will continue during this period.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to improve our course!
