Great Crested Flycatcher Box

Eastern Bluebird Box

 New Additions!

Just a quick note on a few "new additions" for the golf course.  Brian Beckner from Native Bird Boxes was here Monday to install 20 new bird boxes.  The variety of boxes are species specific for our environment.  We are now equipped to attract Eastern Bluebirds, Red Breasted Woodpeckers, Screech Owls, Carolina Wrens and Great Crested Flycatchers.  Our existing Purple Martin houses will be refurbished and relocated to enhance their population.  We have two Osprey poles located on #9 and #16, we will attempt to add some nesting material to enhance the habitat.  One surprising find during the visit was the activity in the Wood Duck box located in the lake left of #7 tee behind #8 green.  It is nice to be a part of a project that encourages our wildlife population.  All of the boxes were installed with nesting material to attract the proper species.  Brian will monitor the boxes and report the activity.  He is looking forward to giving guided tours this Fall that will encompass our role in wildlife management.

Below are a couple of pictures showing the cart path extensions on #4 and #15.  The additional cart path will provide for more exit points and reduce the wear and tear that was prevalent on these holes.   We are in the process of re-grading a few other cart path ends to improve wear resistance and functionality.   

Thank you for patience during these summertime closures.  The cultural practices being employed during this time will have a long lasting impact on the quality of our playing surfaces.
