  • #13 Black Tee extended and re-leveled. Currently closed until 5/6/18.
  • All bunkers were raked, depths checked, and addition of Quartzite sand made to faces for firmness.
  • Stump areas to be finished with seed or sod week of 4/16/18.
  • Detail work will continue around the property with mulching, debris clean up, and normal daily routines now that weather and temperatures should begin to average out.
  • Driving Range Tee work will begin 4/17/18 with removal, followed by concrete pad installation, and finished with Turf Hound Tee install. Turf Hound is set to start installation on 4/25/18.
  • Tennis courts have been resurfaced and will be opening as fences are repainted and new wind screens installed. Our plan is to have 3 courts fully open by 4/20/18.
Finally, the Northeast had some spring weather this past week to help welcome members back to Pine Hollow. Our staff was also finally given the opportunity for a productive week and I'm optimistic that the extended forecast will provide us with more good work weather ahead. 
Over the coming weeks, we will continue playing catchup on project work and spring aeration once cleanup and desired property details are achieved. The only exception is the Driving Range Tee Project which we will begin work on this week. I'll communicate accordingly to the Pro shop on which tees are open daily once ground breaks utilizing both grass tees to minimize member inconvenience and traffic. Our plan is to have all work finished and open by the final weekend in April.
Better golf is ahead and once the season begins we will be ready! Thanks again for all your support and we will continue to keep you posted on our progress. Welcome back!
