Seeding Next Week

During the week of May 3rd through the 7th, we will be seeding all of the renovated areas. The renovated areas on #2, #4, #6, #7, #8, #13 and #16 will all be seeded with a fine fescue blend. After seeding, the irrigation will be set up to water the newly seeded areas every hour on the hour starting at 8:00 am til 5:00 pm. We will monitor these areas for water during heavy play to ensure that members and guest are not disturbed by the running irrigation heads.

While we wait for the germination and maturation process, please take care in and around these areas until the turfgrass is mature and we open them up for play. It should take about 14 days give or take a few for the fine fescue to start showing and then about another 14 to 20 days until it is mature enough for play. The golf course maintenance staff will do everything in our power to hasten the maturation of the fine fescue. We would prefer to have these areas open for play sooner than later.
