July 19, 2024 SaddleBrooke Course Closed One More Week The SaddleBrooke course, lower putting green, and chipping green will be closed for one more week. This allows the maintenance team the time to do the necessary cultural practices to the golf courses. Below is a list of items that the maintenance team will be working on during the 2-week closure. Click the button below to see the schedule for the summer. New Areas on Tucson #3 and #9 The sod on the new areas on Tucson #3 and #9 have made good progress over the past week. They will remain marked as ground under repair until the sod has established enough to handle regular play. New grass area behind Tucson #3 green. New forward tee location on Tucson #9. New Course Marking on Catalina #1 The installation of the new drainage channel along the left side of Catalina #1 is complete. There is a change to the course markings from what was previously there. The area of the ditch that is rock and concrete will be marked as a No Play/Penalty area. This is designated by the red stakes with green tops. Signs will be along the concrete portion of the ditch reminding golfers to not enter the drainage area. The same as it is on Catalina #5. The maintenance staff will also have an area marked as ground under repair in order to get some turf back established in part of the work area. Transition is Ongoing The golf maintenance team continues to focus on promoting Bermuda grass activity and health. All of the Rye grass has been removed from the over-seeded areas. This is really visible in some areas of the golf course where the Bermuda grass is thin or not even there at all. The maintenance staff will continue to work on these areas to try to improve the Bermuda grass coverage. This will include: Roped/Staked Off Areas The maintenance staff will be limiting cart traffic in certain areas around the golf course in order to give the turf relief from cart traffic in these areas. These areas will be roped or staked off. Please follow the directional signs and use the exit gates. It makes it tough for the turf to recover and establish if we continue to get cart traffic in these areas.
