Golf Course Architecture

quote:

All bunkers have been lined with Better Billy Bunker and filled with Premier Play sand from Arkansas. The entire course will be sodded, and all the short grass areas, fairways and tees will feature Stadium Zoysia from Bladerunner Farms. Green surfaces will be TifEagle and rough will be TifTuf bermudagrass.

Sounds great! I remember fondly Santa Maria after the greens were reworked. It was nice! Firm tho.

Imagine putting some effort like this into City Park.

I’m very excited about this course. It looks like they’re doing some really good work out there.

I love Zoysia! The ball sits up like it’s on a tee.

I was told by someone that know Jim that his intention is to make it comparable to the U Club in quality and play.

I'll be curious as to what it will cost to play?

I believe it will be open to the public during the week and for limited tee times on the weekends.

It’s pretty impressive. The transformation is fun to watch.

We were told play will be for members only till May 2027.

There isa mountain of fluffy white sand waiting for transport there

The ground looks really fertile dark grey soil. Should make for nice grass growing
