9 Hole Improvements (Greens & Tees) <br />Improvements to the golf course have taken many forms since our arrival. The health <br />of the greens and tee areas were in need of the most attention. It has taken almost <br />30 months but all the greens have healthy turf and functioning irrigation and quick <br />couplers. They have been aerated, and top dressed weekly, and it has lead to <br />Laurelwood's greens being considered on their way to being as good as it can get. <br />The tee boxes were a different challenge. Some of the tee boxes were shared <br />between holes which lead many people to arrive back at the pro -shop only having <br />played 6 holes. There was not enough teeing area so people ended up playing on <br />dirt. We began the process of separating the tee boxes, building new tee boxes, and <br />adding to small ones. We have built or added to 16 tee boxes on the course. This has <br />added functionality to the game that was not present at Laurelwood before. Now the <br />best players can play a length that matches their ability, and women, seniors and <br />juniors can play our new forward tees and not feel like they are playing on a small <br />dirt circle at inferior quality compared to the others. In the past, all players played <br />at /or around the same distance. This was one of the many factors that kept the <br />golfing community from regularly visiting this facility. We purchased Granite Tee Box <br />Markers for all Tee Boxes (see attached picture). <br />*Granite Tee Markers alleviated a <br />directionally challenged golf course <br />*Took approximately 30 months to <br />achieve healthy greens (soil tests are available) <br />*Built or added 16 tee boxes to <br />incorporate all calibers of players <br />
