Tucson Course Opens on Monday, October 23rd
#3 Fairway on the Tucson Course
What to expect when Tucson Re-opens next week:
- Cart Path Only to allow the new Ryegrass adequate time to establish prior to regular cart traffic
-You will notice that Tucson has more thin Ryegrass spots than the other
two courses when they re-opened. This is due to the cooler night time
temperatures while growing in Tucson.
- Soft conditions due to the frequent irrigation required for Ryegrass establishment.
- Higher than normal mowing heights as the Ryegrass continues it's
establishment process. Mowing heights will be adjusted as the new
Ryegrass matures.
- Slower than normal green speeds due to a higher height of cut in
preparation for cooler temperatures. Green speeds will increase with
cooler weather and slower Bermuda growth.
Tucson Bunker Project
When Tucson re-opens from overseeding, the Tucson Bunker project will be
complete. All of the bunkers on Tucson will be in play...sorry no more
Ground Under Repair bunkers. All of the bunkers on all 3 golf courses
have had new liner and sand installed the last 3 summers. The golf
maintenance team appreciates everybody's patience while we completed
this project. We hope you all enjoy the new sand in the bunkers.
Cart Traffic Update
At this point in time the golf courses will remain cart path only. It is
our goal to get carts back out on the turf, as soon as the newly
established ryegrass can handle some cart traffic. We encountered warmer
than normal conditions while overseeding this year. This has caused the
following:
-Wetter areas due to increased irrigation
-Slower germination on slopes and areas difficult to keep wet
-Increased Bermudagrass competition with the new Ryegrass
As we see some cooler temperatures in the near future, we are expecting
these issues to improve, which will allow for cart traffic. Look for an
email and video update next week regarding when carts will be allowed
back on the courses. Thank you for your patience during this time.
