Course Maintenance is much more complex than mowing grass.

Our staff starts early & finishes late

The maintenance staff start their day at the crack of dawn. They start early to prepare their course for golfers with little disruption–enabling them to operate at peak efficiency. But, unfortunately, their productivity substantially decreases as the play begins. Therefore, the early morning work is critical to the overall course maintenance and the principal reason we start our tee times later in the morning.

On a typical morning, our maintenance staff mow enough turf to cover more than 25 football fields! In addition, the staff change hole locations, move tee markers, rake bunkers, clean up debris, scout for pests, and irrigate select areas. After the maintenance morning work, the staff shifts their attention to mowing rough, edging cart paths, and trimming the turf around bunkers and trees. Would you believe that most of this work occurs before lunch? 

Next time you play, take a minute to think about the hard work that goes into producing the playing conditions you enjoy. Instead of wondering why a maintenance employee is mowing rough in the middle of the day, consider their commitment to their work. Take the time to thank our staff directly. Maintaining a golf course is much more complex than simply mowing grass.
