More winter work

Winter still has a good hold on Virginia. It looks like we have a big storm heading our way this week. At this point, I think everyone is ready for Spring, especially the turf care crew!! We are ready to start and finish building the rest of this golf course! Everything is moving along great, so far. The area where the new pond is being built has been cleared and the dam is ready to start being built.

The project manager will be here Friday to meet with us to go over final details and get a firm start date for the golf course construction. We will begin construction at the beginning of March and the golf course construction company will probably be wrapping by the end of August. At that point, we will just need to finish growing in the course.

So far this Winter, we have finished mowing down the wetlands and bunker surrounds. I think the bunkers have turned out really nice. We have received a lot of good feedback. During the upcoming season, we will continue to maintain the surrounds in a similar fashion. The areas that shoot into the bunkers will continue to be a more "native" look.

 

We are all hoping that the weather will cooperate during the upcoming season!
