Construction update

The last week has been great!  A lot of progress has been made on the construction of the new nine holes.  The Nicklaus architect was here for two days this week.  While he was here he put his stamp on #6 green and #7 green, fairway and tee.  We look forward to him coming back at the beginning of May. 





Most of #7 fairway has been shaped.  Drainage is being installed on #7 fairway.  Drainage will be installed on #7 green this week.  Tees have been shaped and cored out.  Drainage will be installed in the tees this week, as well.  The next step is to get approval on the entire hole and start installing irrigation.

#6 green has been shaped and is ready for drainage this week.  The tees are currently being shaped and we will get started on the fairway this week. 

#5 was also started last week.  The green complex was rough graded.  That includes the green, bunkers and other features around the green.  This seems to be a really cool green surround.  I don't think it's going to be easy, but it looks good. 

My helpers giving some perspective on the depth of the greenside bunker on #5. My youngest is in the middle of the bunker and his older brother is on the top of the bunker.

 

 

 

This week looks like it will be another productive week.  We dodged a storm this weekend.  If we could dodge another this week, we will be able to get a bunch accomplished.  As always, if anyone has any questions, just let Chad or me know.
