Six Green Opens Today and All of the New Tees Except I, II on 13.

We used all of the old nursery green we could around the property, had the architect reshape it and then installed Kentucky bluegrass.

The new IV tee on 15 and a shortened fairway with new rough sod.

 

The new I tee on 15.

The new IV tee on 5 looking back.

We added more material to the area behind 4 green to 5 tee then sodded all of it with Kentucky bluegrass.  It will be mowed rough.

The new I tee on 16.

Triple rolling all of the new tees once the construction company used their plate compactor in two directions and hand tamped the high spots.  We opened the 14th tee last Saturday for play. 

A view from the championship tee on 4 looking at 14 tee.  Fescue seed was spread under the straw mats to return that native grass look.

GCIP Update October 1

The new II tee on 16!  We are currently cutting down the brush and tall weeds around the east side of the tee.

The new IV tee on 6 is open for play.

The new III tee on 6 is now open for play.

The new II tee really looks sharp.  The fescue in front, left and down the right side will be mowed down to regular rough.

The new I tee looks to be playing 585 yards and will need a cart path with a turn around behind the tee.

GCIP Update August 21, 2026

The bulldozer for six green arrived a day late as the trailer delivering the dozer didn't have any brakes Monday morning.  When it arrived mid-day on Tuesday, my team and I moved the transport mats in front of the dozer across the sixth fairway.  The mats worked so well!

Halfway crossing the sixth fairway.

Patrick was ready for his half and waiting for me to get my half, the handles worked great.

Getting started on the new sixth green.
