Monday was a busy day at Rolling Greens.
Corey's Concrete, LLC was back at it and got the middle row of pergola piers poured for the patio project. That project keeps moving forward, and it’s exciting to see the footprint of that space starting to take shape.
We also started another big project on the course: our phased turf transition.
Yesterday we had holes #3 and #4 closed for renovation work. We started by mowing the fairways to get the dew off and help dry things out. From there, we vertical cut and slit seeded the fairways, along with the step cut, which is the transition area between the fairway and rough.
After that, we let the debris dry in the sun, dragged it with a steel mat to help break up the clumps and work the seed down into the grooves, then carefully blew off the remaining debris. Finally, we turned the water on and got the seed bed moist.
Thankfully, we got rain this morning, with more rain in the forecast. That timing helps a lot.
This is part of a slow, phased transition we’ll be working through during the season. Weather permitting, we’ll close one or two shorter holes each Monday and work through the course a little at a time. Next week, we plan to move on to #5.
The goal is to improve our fairways and step cut by introducing better grasses, thickening weak areas, and slowly moving the course in a healthier direction without tearing everything up all at once.
Would fall be the ideal time for this kind of work? Yes. But a full-course renovation in one shot just isn’t realistic for us right now. It would take more equipment, more labor, more money, and more downtime than we have available.
So we’re taking the Rolling Greens approach: steady progress, one section at a time.
This lets us keep the course open, keep golfers playing, and still make meaningful improvements each week. It may not look perfect overnight, but every pass with the mower, seeder, drag mat, blower, and irrigation is part of building a better playing surface for the long run.
Thanks for your patience as we work through this process. We’re excited about where this is headed.
