Cart Traffic in Fescue Areas- a "no no!"

As many of you are aware, we have incorporated a number of fescue areas throughout the golf course over the past few years.

                    Left of hole 3

     Hole 17 natives in the background

These native areas have been established in an effort to enhance the aesthetic value of the course, to create a balance between maintained and naturalized areas and have made the course more challenging.

A topic of discussion that has not been addressed enough regarding these areas is carts driving into and through them. Posted on every cart is a sign that reads- please keep your carts out of the fescue areas (aka- the long grass). Cart traffic through these areas kills the grass thus promoting weeds to take over and it takes away from their aesthetic value.

      Hole 2 one day after stakes/ropes    

                       removed 

We do not want to stake and rope these areas as it is quite frankly an eyesore that detracts from the naturalized look of the landscape. So, please- keep your carts out of these areas and let others know the same!

 Enjoy the start to what we hope is a dry and sunny summer (minus the humidity!)
