Agronomy Update – September 4, 2026
Bermuda Grass & Bunker Project.
This week, the
agronomy team treated 10 acres using our GPS sprayer and completed holes 1-11 with
a handheld sprayer. We will finish the Roundup application this coming Tuesday.
Our civil
engineering partner also marked the work limits for the fairway bunkers on holes
8, 12, and 15 in preparation for the pre-construction meeting with the county
next Wednesday.
The Fairway
Sodding & Bunker project kicks off the week of September 14. On that date,
the construction company will install erosion and sediment controls on fairway
bunkers 8, 12, and 15. Please check with the pro shop for any hole closures
during this work.
Sod
installation will begin on Hole 1. We will keep you posted as the project
progresses.
Course Operations
Late-week
storms kept the crew busy. Wednesday brought 0.6 inches of rain over about 40
minutes, followed by 2 inches Thursday night in roughly an hour. The bunkers
took a beating, so Friday morning it was all hands-on deck, a crew of 10 spent
the entire day pumping out water and repairing washouts. The good news: the new
bunkers drained well and held up with minimal washouts.

Daniel and
Santiago also tackled a tough irrigation break in the parking lot. Maple-tree
roots had grown over two valve boxes, making the dig-out a two-day job. All
told, the repair took four days, but it is back in working order.

Thank you, as
always, for your patience and support while we continue improving course
conditions.
