Native Care


Over the last few weeks we have been mowing our native areas throughout the course. The red stakes are not marking a lateral hazard, they are just temporarily marking our drip lines for the new spruce trees planted. The mowers going through some of these areas can damage those lines.
Mowing the natives each year is a good practice, not only for finding golf balls, but it gives us the opportunity to manage our weeds and provide cleaner rough areas for play. Once they are mowed, the staff will rake out the remaining grass and leave it less congested of organic material. It allows for better plant growth and healthier roots.
