The trees are gone from the 3 tee box area and all of the silt and construction fence is in place. All critical rootzones for remaining trees have been located and protected. Now it is on to the demolition of the walls.
The main reason for this work is to correct a life safety issue. Due to the severity of this, Vail Golf Club has no choice but to correct this issue ASAP. As you can see here the retaining wall is failing and the surface of the tee box is beginning to slide. The tee box is in poor health and does not set up properly with the green.
In this project all of the tee boxes will be re-shaped and expanded, most of the walls will be removed by a grass slope. The cart path will be re-aligned and trees, native grasses and even some wildflowers will be incorporated into the area. The timeline for this project is about 4 weeks. A temporary green for 2 and a tee for 3 will be in place until the new sod for the tee box rooted properly for play which could be mid-June.
There was a separate bid process for this work and Landscaped Unlimited won again. Along with the irrigation system, the goal is for both crews to work simultaneously to have the area prepared for irrigation so the new tee boxes can be established properly.
