Bunker renovations

The bunker renovations performed by Golf Creations last year were a big success. They are back on property today finishing the rest of the Weiskopf green side bunkers. Depending on weather they will be here anywhere from 10 days to 3 weeks. The holes that are left are 1, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18. If you have any questions about the project please email me at Sam.leatherberry@ourclub.com

Great day for golf

It was great to see everyone out on the course yesterday and today. Both courses are coming along nicely, we just need to dry out. Here are some pictures from around the course this weekend.

Prepping the courses

Both courses are coming along nicely with spring cleanup. Our efforts have been mostly focused on the Weiskopf course. It is a much easier course to cleanup from winter and drys out much faster. We rolled greens on Wednesday and plan on mowing them tomorrow weather permitting. All bunkers have been edged and raked. Sand was moved around to proper depths and sand was added to some fairway bunkers. The rest of the Weisopf green side bunkers that were not rebuilt with the Better Billy Bunker system will be rebuilt starting late April or early May. 1,8,9,10,12,15,16,18 are the remaining holes to be done. We will continue to add sand to the fairway bunkers as the drains that were added in the past year are performing great. As the fairways and tees dry out we will mow them too. The Devlin course has many more branches and cleanup than Weiskopf. The bunkers take much longer to edge and the greens stay much wetter since they are soil based, not sand. We will open the Devlin course once we have the amount of golfers needed for two courses.

Much nicer

Sand was added and spread out in both fairway bunkers on #1.  New Finish rakes were added to the sand pro this winter for a better, smoother, more consistent rake in the bunkers
