Course Update 6.12.26 - Rain, Landscaping, Aeration, and More!

Water flowing over the dam on 10 Blue - Sunday 6.7.26

Last weekend’s 4-Ball Championship was certainly a wet one, with nearly 3 inches of rainfall arriving between Saturday and Sunday. Despite the challenging conditions, our crew did an outstanding job Sunday morning getting both courses back into shape and playable for the event. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and participated.

Aerating 6 Gold green on Monday 6.8.26

On Monday, we completed a light sand topdressing and venting (also known as light aeration) on greens. While golfers may still notice some of the small vent holes on certain greens, the impact on ball roll is minimal. This practice improves airflow to the root system and is especially important during periods of high humidity - which have certainly experienced for the last several days. By Tuesday, course conditions had dried considerably, allowing our team to focus on catching up with routine mowing of tees, fairways, and roughs which continue to grow in full force thanks to the rain.

Our staff also worked alongside a crew from Southern Botanicals to refresh the landscape islands at the front entrance and along the main drive. Existing plant material was relocated, and a combination of liriope and caladiums was added to create a denser, fuller appearance.

We also put a new aerator into service this week that will be used extensively on tees, fairways, and roughs throughout the summer. One of the biggest advantages of this machine is its ability to pull and collect cores simultaneously, eliminating much of the labor-intensive cleanup traditionally associated with aeration. The collected cores can then be repurposed to help level uneven areas in the rough. Members can expect to see this machine in action regularly throughout the summer months.

Finally, progress also continued around the cart barn area where we were able to complete additional drainage work and install decomposed granite. The remaining areas are scheduled to receive a combination of Bermuda and Zoysia sod early next week.

As always, thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on the golf course.
