Raven Front Nine Rough Repair


We have been testing numerous methods and equipment to be used in the repair of the front nine raven rough. You will notice the equipment has been working on the right side of number 4 & 6 Raven in areas that are planned as low maintenance areas that will be seeded to fescue.



Tilling dead turf to the right side of 6 Raven in preparation for seeding


Over the next 3 days members will have to contest with staff as they prepare for replacing turf on # 4 Raven. Staff will begin by stripping sod from the left side of hole in preparation for new sod to be installed on Thursday May 19th if the weather remains dry.



Members can please take relief from the work area if equipment or staff are in risk of being hit.



Cart Path Relocation Project 16 Hawk


The cart path relocation project on 16 Hawk is nearing completion. The gravel base for the new path has been installed and is now in use. The irrigation and drainage have been completed, the old path removed , top soiled and the entire area has now been sodded. Staff will complete a few small sod tie ins tomorrow and the final step of asphalting the new path is scheduled for Tuesday May 24th.






New sod installed on the old 16 Hawk Path Location



The new sod in this work area will be played as ground under repair until the sod has rooted well enough to handle foot or cart traffic.


10 Hawk Bridge



We will have a contractor on site Tuesday May 17th doing some repair work on the footings that are failing due to erosion at 1o Hawk bridge. The repair will be a stop gap repair and a more significant repair will be undertaken at the end of the season when the bridge can be removed and an improved foundation can be built.
