Tee expansion project

We are currently undergoing a tee area expansion and "squaring" project. All in an effort to create more tee marker placement and to ease the stress on the tees during season. The square look is a traditional golf course design technique and will add more character to the tee boxes.

Expanding and squaring tee boxes

In an effort to return Vista Plantation to its traditional design, we have begun the process of squaring off the tee areas and increasing their size. This is an ongoing process that will take a few weeks to complete and a few months to fully grow in.

Collar and apron expansions

We have begun the process of expanding the collar, apron and approach cut around the greens

New collar and apron cut on 13 is greening up!

A few weeks ago we started cutting out new collars and aprons around 13 green, this begins our effort to restore the playability that Arthur Hills and Mark McCumber saw in their design in the 80s when the golf course was constructed. throughout the early summer and late spring you will see several greens undergoing this transformation

We are now listed on the Vista Plantation Golf Club website. If you are visiting this blog because you clicked on the link on that site.......Welcome.

Spring Topdressing.

This time of year is the time to begin a light to moderate Topdressing program to ready the Bermuda to knit together after the overseed grass dies out. As you can see in the picture, we are still using the black sand to help warm up the top 1 inch of the soil so that the overseed will slowly wilt in the dry afternoon heat.
