Chehalem Glenn Golf Course

We tried something new this year for aerification.  We have closed nine holes Monday - Friday to allow the staff to complete aerification of greens, tees, and fairways properly getting everything sanded and drug in.  So far it has gone very well despite a few weather interruptions.  We appreciate everyone's patience with this process as it will allow us to keep the course in great condition throughout the year.  The more sand we can get down and drug in, the better (firmer) the playing conditions will be during wet periods. 

This week we closed the front nine, and will open it back up on Saturday.  On Monday, April 30th, we will close the back nine, re-opening it on Saturday the 5th.  During the closure on the front nine this week we were able to accomplish a couple extra projects.

First, we installed a retaining wall along the path going to the 6th green.  The hill has started to erode and was covering about two fee of the path.  Here is a photo of the work done by TDP Landscaping.  Thanks to Terry Paskett and his crew.

Second, to help those players that have a difficult time carrying the ball a distance we are working on building forward tees that take the ravines out of play for most of the course.  When we are finished on the front nine there will only be one shot that requires any kind of forced carry.  Here are some of the photos of the work.

We are also working on new tees on #1 and #5.  We should have all the new tees built, sodded and ready for play by sometime in June.  These will make the course much more beginner friendly and allow you to enjoy the day with your kids, wives, or other golfers new to the game.

Thanks to The Saunders Company Construction and Derek Daniels for their hard work.
