The latest on #3

Almost there, a bit short on sod on Saturday. New sod will be cut today to be delivered and installed tomorrow. The top part of the hole along the new cart path and the old cart path are all that remains to be installed. The sod is coming from Emerald Sod Farm in Commerce City, CO. 3" cut is being put down for all rough areas, tees and fairway sod is at 3/4".
This is a view from the cart path in front of the forward tee looking back. You will notice an erosion mat on the right side of the hole and soon to be on the left side. These areas are going to be native and grown in by seed.
The final completion date has been rescheduled to next Monday, June 15th due to the recent rains we have had. There remains a little more drainage work, but everything here is on the right track.
Opening these areas is uncertain right now. The sod must begin to root before any play or traffic of any kind is allowed. My biggest concern is the hillside between the holes. That must be safe enough to walk on before opening the second green. But everything should be open by Fathers Day Weekend.
