Drainage

This was the seen this past winter during a heavy rain. Behind #18 green the cart path and the slope have surface drainage that runs on to the putting surface. This created a difficult situation during one of the Men's Team Play matches because the pin location was where it is shown in the picture.

To help minimize the water shed that comes from behind 18 green we are installing sub surface drainage. The drainage will be typical with drainage that we have installed in other areas of the course. It will consist of a trench 12 inches deep. At the bottom of the trench there will be 2" layer of gravel put down before we a lay down a 3" perforated pipe. Then the trench will be topped with gravel and new sod installed on the top of the trench. This drainage will help minimize the amount of surface water that feeds on to the green. In addition to this drainage project, we will also be address a wet area on the right side of the #12 fairway. All of the work will take place over the next two days.
