• Irrigation System Pressurizing: Depending on the progress of holes #1, #9, #10, and #18 the goal will be to pressurize the system in the middle of February. The Irrigation system will assist in additional dust control around the entire course.

• Bunker Construction will begin at the beginning of March.

• The 60 inch equalizer piping for #1 is scheduled to be installed at the end of February

• The projected opening date is early November.

Golf Course Architect, Jason Straka's next scheduled site visits are: 

1) February 11th - 13th
2) February 18th - 20th  
3) March 2nd - 4th 

Did you know:  

Once the drainage lines and catch basins are installed, a section of pipe is left above the ground up until it is time to install the grass. The exposed pipe is also surrounded by gravel to prevent any sediment from entering the pipe and contaminating the water during a rain. Following a rain event, it may take a little extra time before the water finally reaches the pipe as it goes through gravel.
