JANUARY — FEBRUARY
Sod
Areas were sodded due to traffic and bentgrass encroachment. These new varieties of grass will be able to withstand heat, drought and more traffic. We have sodded significantly throughout Champions, replacing bentgrass with bluegrass around numerous tee banks. There has also been sod placed on No. 6 fairway to patch up a couple of places and on the pond bank on No. 8 running the length of the fairway. Other areas include holes No. 9 and No. 18 where the Barbasol grandstands were located. Keene Run has also added new sod throughout the course, such as No. 1 tee & green and No. 6 green.
Tree Removal & Trimming
The removal of certain trees increases air flow and morning sunlight to specific areas. With another windy winter, we've removed trees on holes No. 6, and cleared areas behind No. 5 green, No. 16 green and around No. 17 tee.
Painting and Refinishing
Several of our fences have been repaired, including replacing the main entrance at Champions with new wood on both sides that will receive fresh paint shortly. We also painted and refinished numerous speed limit and stop signs across the property and neighborhood. Each winter we also paint and coat our tee markers and out of bounds and hazard stakes for a refreshed look.
