#7 Construction Phase Complete

New drop inlet in fairway to which the re-graded area will run to

Sod over the trench that holds the new outlet pipe

Today the contractors were able to finish the construction phase of the drainage project on #7 fairway. Now that construction is complete we enter the establishment phase of the project. #7 will remain a par 3 until the sod has had time to take root. Once the sod has rooted, the hole will  be re-opened as a par 4. The hole will then remain cart path only until we feel that the area can tolerate cart traffic.

Progress Near #3 Cart Path
The area to the right of #3 cart has eroded due to cart traffic and tree roots, making the area aesthetically displeasing and unsafe for carts to traverse. With some of the sod we were able to re-use from the project on #7 we were able to make progress to this unsightly area. We hope to complete work to this area as soon as we can feasibly manage.
