We are underway to construct a few new tees on the golf course and make some revisions to another. Pictured here is the beginning of a new "yellow" and a new "green" tee box on the 4th hole. The first step is removing the old sod and putting it aside to re-use in the future. The second picture shows the location and the view from the green tee.
The second step is to lightly till the area to break up any other turf and root structure to provide a better profile for the new tee box. We are currently bringing in new soil to build up the level of the two tee boxes.
While the soil is brought to the location we will begin doing a rough shape to the tee box. Once the rough build is done, sand is brought in and tilled into the profile for a better medium for turf health, much like what was done on #3 tees this spring. We will have Landscapes Unlimited come in and level out the areas and prep for sod. The edges of the tee box will be sodded with the previously cut sod. In the spring, short cut bluegrass sod will be planted for the tee surface.
The tee surfaces will end up being approximately 25 feet by 25 feet, plenty of room for teeing grounds. In a nutshell, they will be a tad smaller than the new forward tee on #3. The distance for the green tee will be 285 yards and the yellow will be 310 yards.
We also plan to re-build and widen the green tee on #8 and widen and level the blue tee on #9.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us to get these done.
In the spring, the Colorado Golf Association will re-rate the golf course with the recent changes.
