Building Strong Roots

The long hard winter took its toll on the golf course. Even the greens that came through the winter looking healthy have lost significant root depth and mass over the winter. Now is the time where we are trying to build those roots to prepare us for the upcoming season. For this reason we will be very conservative with our mowing heights for the next few weeks. This will result in noticeably slower green speeds. Our goal for the next few weeks is to improve the health of our greens. A strong root structure will allow us to present our members and guests with excellent putting surfaces throughout the season. As we begin to lower our cutting height you will start to see an increase in green speeds. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress throughout the Spring.
