It's the most wonderful time of the year...... not only is it March Madness, one of the best tournaments in the world, but it's also AERIFICATION time!! The time when our season officially begins. Aeration of tees, greens and fairways is usually not very popular with golfers(OR our employees come to think about it:) but it's THE most important process that we will do during the year. This process will help in the removal of organic matter, relieving of soil compaction, improvement of water infiltration and drainage, and increasing the oxygen in the soil to help healthy root growth .
Our Aerification Schedule:
Back 9 Fairways/ Tees......March 6th - 9th
Front 9 Greens .................March 13th & 14th
