Significant progress continues to be made on the Warren Valley Golf Course property as we inch closer to spring. Over the past several months, the updates include:
• All 200 acres of the golf course have been cut down to turf height.
• On the West side, tee boxes and fairways have been carved out.
• The golf course has been professionally sprayed with pesticides, fungicides, and chemicals to eradicate weeds.
• The golf course is staffed with a highly experienced and full-time superintendent, assistant superintendent, mechanic, and support staff of 10 experienced golf maintenance professionals. Work has continued through the winter, six days a week (Monday through Saturday) every week other than Christmas week.
• All 18 greens, a practice area, a putting green, and a nursery, have been resodded with disease-resistant (flood-tolerant) bent grass. The greens have been top-dressed, sprayed, aerified, and mowed/rolled daily through dormancy.
• Over 215 downed and overgrown trees have been removed (including stumps) from playable areas of the golf course and will be permanently removed from the grounds. • All existing bunkers have had weeds removed, turf edged, and drainage repair. Eight original Donald Ross bunkers that had grown into grass bunkers have been fully restored.
• The entire golf course drainage system has been mapped, systems have been repaired, and a additional drainage has been added. Standing water on the golf course is being addressed for the first time in years.
• Three bids have been collected to address river and bridge issues.
• All irrigation leaks have been repaired. Greenside irrigation has been fully repaired, with all heads replaced. Golf course irrigation pumps have been remanufactured and restored.
• All greens and tee-boxes have been aerated.
• Eighty brand-new Ez-Go golf carts have been purchased.
