This fall we added a new back tee on 15, adjusted the slope on 9 green, expanded the putting green, and completed the tee expansion on hole 17. I say completed, because this was planned, in part, with the bunker project. When we shaped the bunkers on 7 green we had an abundance of extra soil. Instead of hauling it around the course or off site we decided to build a base for a future tee expansion on 17.
The original, single tee was 5500 square feet, we doubled it to 11,000 square feet with a forward tee that lines up better with the approach. Most of the expansion was pushed towards the creek, this will allow us better space out the wear pattern on the tee. The back tees on 17 used to play from 142, now they will play from 154.
The new forward tee on 17 will be used for juniors and have a set of red tee markers. This will be in addition to the original set of red tees that will play from 115 yards. This will give an option, especially to our beginners and higher handicaps, and hopefully make for a more enjoyable round.

Do you have any photos from the 15 tee expansion and the 9th green? I've been out of commision since July and haven't been able to get out to see any of the changes.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I do not have any finished pics of 15 tee or 9 green.
