#1 GREEN AND BUNKER PROJECT UPDATE

As a reminder, work will begin on #1 to our Green Complex on October 15, 2019. During this time and until we re-open in the spring of 2020, a temporary putting surface will be available in #1 fairway until the green is restored and grown-in for early May golf.
The project work will break ground with McDonald and Sons Design and Construction Co., our goals will be to preserve the original design intent while modifying the green to become more usable and fair with our modern green speeds. This is not a total rebuild, simply a modification of the subsurface by matching the existing green specifications, re-working the added material and reusing the existing green's sod to reduce closure time and keep our surfaces consistent. Enclosed you will find the document that details the specifications of the changes.
Along with the work to the green site, we will also address the issues with the front right greenside bunker by rebuilding this complex. Over the past few years, this bunker has become compromised due to the heavy rain events causing significant contamination and collapsed grass slopes. Our goal is to restore this site as close as possible to the original design to keep the integrity of the bunker complex while improving the playability and repairing the drainage issues. During the construction, we will be using the Better Billy Bunker System which is widely viewed as the best liner on the market and a bunker sand was selected to help us achieve our goals on the golf course.
