GOLF COURSE UPDATE 1/24/17

GOLF COURSE UPDATE 1/24/17

Tree Work Priority List:

  • (2) Pines between #1/#18 to open up window for golfers to play back to Fwy this will also help improve hitting area at #18 Fwy
  • Large Pine #3 for morning sun to #3 Green
  • Large Spruce #4 / #5 to improve morning sun to #4 Green
  • (2) Dead Oaks left of #6 Green also (2) trees along fence line 
  • (1) Large dead Oak left of #7 Fwy
  • (2) Pines at #12 Black Tee also Ash Tree to improve growing environment and aesthetics
  • Pines left of #12 Fwy to highlight specimen Maple, cleanup roots from playable rough, and improve turf quality
  • Pines right of #13 Fwy and behind green  
  • #15 / #16 thin out Pines to allow for better air flow, sunlight, and aesthetics 
  • Small trees between #1 / #18 to allow for better play-ability and sight lines across property
  • Large trees around Maintenance Area to be removed clearing more storage space
The above list outlines the trees we have begun selectively removing trees around the property as part of our ongoing tree management program to improve growing conditions and aesthetics around the golf course. As always these trees have been discussed multiple times with past and current Green Committees and our Professional Staff to ensure we are making thoughtful decisions on such a touchy subject. It is not my intention to clear cut the property, but instead, highlight our golf course and it's specimen trees. As you may have noticed the past two offseasons, we do our best to clean and renovate areas before spring golf returns and our busy season begins. Thank you for your support and if you have any further questions in regards to this process feel free to call.
