Redesigning # 9 Greenside.......

This hole has had its ups and downs. It was shortened to a par 3 during the last renovation but eventually put back to a par 4.

The greens complex was situated on a hillside with no room for a player to miss the green.

This caused the green to suffer from silt being washed across the putting surface. The green also had sunlight and airflow issues that have been addressed before this renovation.

We started by grading out the hillside. We only had to lower one set of irrigation heads approximately 8". We did locate the greens drain Clean out under 6" of dirt.

The hillside after grading. All the dirt removed was used to build up the left side of the green to enlarge the greens complex.

 The retaining wall under construction.

 The wall is up and the final grading is going on. We edged out the greens to original size and design. we also removed the gravel walk up from the cart path.

Laying the sod. We did a Zeon Zoysia collar and the rest of the area is Tifgrand Bermudagrass. We even Had the owner (Tony) and G.M. (James) helping to lay all the sod.

 The sod is down, the wall is up, and the water is being laid to it.

We now have a hole that is a little more player friendly and gives you room to miss the green. All that's left is to fescue the hill behind the wall and around the perimeter of the sod.
