Introduction

Welcome to the Aspen Glen golf course maintenance blog!  As mentioned above, the purpose of this blog is to bring our Members up to date infomation about what is happening on the golf course.  This will include information on course conditions, discussions on agronomic practices, and will show case improvement projects taking place on the golf course.  This site will be updated weekly by the golf course maintenance team.  We hope you will find the content usefull and interesting.

Projects

We have number of projects going on on the golf course right now so I thought it might be interesting to share some pictures: 

This winter we spent some time sprucing up the golf course restrooms, including new counter tops, vanities, and fixtures.

The cart path crossing #15 fairway needed to be redone this year.  After much discussion, we decided the best thing for the area would probably be to take the path out all together and make it one continuous fairway.  We removed the old staylock material and road base.  We then filled it back in with sand and soil and applied seed.  This area will be ground under repair until it has grown in later this spring.

We also had to excavate and replace three irrigation valves this year prior to pressuring up the irrigation system.

One thing you don't see on the golf course is all of the miles of irrigation ditch we have to maintain in order to get our irrigation water.  We manage three ditches, all of which originate near Carbondale and are gravity fed down to Aspen Glen.  This year we had to replace an old section of liner near the boat ramp down from the 133 bridge.
