The team is doing a great shop on our curbing projects. Again, my goal is to have a standard curbing look throughout the entire golf course. Each year, we select areas along cart paths that desperately need curbing and we slowly chip away at it. One day, I'd love to see all tee and green complexes curbed! The stone that we are using is expensive and that's why we only do a little bit each year. Above, is the temporary basin we installed on #3 last year. The purpose was to allow us to work on the bank below and establish grass on it without it continuously washing out. However, the basin inlet and boulders stuck out like a sore thumb. Below is what the area looks like now after new curbing was installed to contain and direct sheet flow runoff.
On #2, this corner was always bare of grass because of carts and mowing equipment cutting the corner too close. You can see curbing was installed and the ground level around the tee was raised so it is flush with the backside of the curbing. It is now ready for sod.
And finally, we are working today to install curbing behind the 6th green towards #7 tees. This area is always wet because it's a low spot. This will be a huge improvement because we'll now be able to direct water into the existing basin.
