Fairways are being OVERSEEDED with Chewings fescue and Bentgrass today as part of our long term plan to eliminate excessive thatch build up and incorporate more stress tolerant grasses to improve the overall playability of the course but also reduce our need for water, fertilizer and pesticides.

A reminder to golfers to not to apply bug spray while on turf areas. Please move off turf and apply while on a cartpath.
