IDCC Golf Renovation - Update as of 6/16



As of this Update, work is progressing on many components for multiple holes, as shown in the pictures below (click on any pic to enlarge)

Area in front of #6 green, being raised to enhance drainage in front and to the right




Sod (celebration Bermuda sod) being added to tee bank on #1. 
We sod all slopes around each Tee and Green complex to prevent erosion during grow-in period  


New lowered tee on #5 also back of tee is raised adding tiered effect




This is Billy our laser tee leveling expert, doing his work on LADIES tee on #6




LADIES tee box on #1 already laser leveled and ready to sod the slopes!



Crew installing 6" perforated pipeline in ground for drainage.

As an FYI during this project we will install nearly 3/4 of a mile of underground drainage in the greens and fairways of Island Dunes CC.






Sod going down on #1 tee and #7 tee, see special note on sod at the end of this post


New tee box on #4, note that tee is now tiered, also the back tee was eliminated due to a shade problem and could not grow grass on it!


New drainage for #9 fairway near the green. 


Special Note on SOD

After being hit with over 20 inches of rain in late May, June has brought some relief and allowed us to complete a good number of scheduled deliverables. That has not helped our local sod suppliers however who are still under water, forcing us to go elsewhere for sod at a further distance and increased cost. These costs are being controlled as much as possible despite the effects of Mother Nature on this project.
