Perfect Execution

The “sod” projects crossed the finish line last Thursday perfectly timed for a Friday soaking rainfall. All areas turned out great!  We fixed two separate areas along cart paths that usually hold water and the walkway to #15 tees.  We also fixed three sinkholes in high traffic areas and two separate tee renovations!  More cart path and sinkhole sod repairs to come this offseason!

Outta Here!

It’s official! Our contractor has finished shaping their last bunker and are packing up!  Another demanding couple of days of work and our BHCC team is close to the finish line.  Sod and sand on #13 and drainage and liner on #5!

High Gear

Another busy day as we are locked into high gear this week!  The BHCC squad worked on drainage, liner and sod on hole #13.  The shaping crew worked on hole #5.  Tomorrow we will be laying out a lot of sod!

If bunkers weren’t enough we are replacing the roof and gutters on the pumphouse too!  

Quarter Acre

Another exciting day!  More drainage, liner and some sand in the bunkers  on #12.  Even better was the delivery and installation of over a quarter acre of sod in one day.  With this much area we had Midwest Turf come in and give us a hand!  At the end of the day most of the greens complex was finished.

While sod was going down trenches were dug for drainage and irrigation work on #5 and #13.  The future bunker on 13 will be located where the old irrigation line was and has to be moved.  A drainage line was trenched for the same bunker.

Doubling Down

Two more bunkers were completed today minus installing sand.  We are going to wait till tomorrow morning when the ground is firm from freezing temperatures overnight.  Everyone stuck around a little longer including our contractors today.  We made a huge push to get the entire complex in final grade form to start sod work tomorrow.

Big progress every day this week, tomorrow’s update will be flashy so check back!

Two Down Tuesday

We knocked out two of the six bunkers at #12 greens complex today.  One other bunker is completed with shaping and ready for drainage first thing in the morning!  Planning for another great day on Wednesday!

Still Kicking @ss

We continue to push towards the finish line!  More progress made over last few days!  Hole #6 is now complete aside from some sod work.  Hole #5 was still a little too wet so we jumped up to #12 green complex.  A huge transformation is currently taking place and I can tell already this one will be my favorite new look on the golf course.

Significant Progress (A Lot of Photos!)

We finally caught a window of opportunity this week.  While it was still a short window, it’s significant because the sod fields were finally open for business.  We received zoysia sod for the first time in over a month!  

The guys really worked hard and was able to complete drainage, liner and sand in two bunkers at #6 green.  Then we completed the sod work around the same two bunkers on #6, the fairway bunkers and green side pot bunker on #5 and the left side fairway bunker on #12!

Our contractor completed the shaping of the final green side bunker on #6 and the right side fairway bunker on #12.
