Golf Update


The severe drought conditions have resulted in some of the lakes on the golf courses having less than average water levels at this point. Our focus continues to be on adequately irrigating the turf areas to maintain quality and consistency. This does not allow us excess water to fill the lakes while the water district is asking for conservation in all areas. Cooler temperatures and hopefully some rain activity will help greatly in restoring the lakes to their normal volume.

You may have noticed some greens work on holes #3 and #5 of the South Course. As mentioned in previous updates, we used healthy turf from the original green on #15 North to makes these repairs. This will result in a quicker recovery time of these areas and better overall putting surfaces.

Finally, here is a reminder of the upcoming course overseed and aerification dates:
*North Course- closed Sept. 23-26 (aerify fairways, greens and overseed tees)
*South Course- closed Oct. 15-27 (aerify greens, overseed rough and tees)
*Practice Facility
      East Range Tee- closed Oct. 6-24 (aerify, overseed)
      West Range Tee- closed Oct. 20-24 (aerify, overseed)- hitting from artificial turf mats for   approximately two weeks.
