Course Update 1.12.14




I decided to begin the first post of the year with a YouTube video put together by my Dad. He has been using a drone like helicopter to take aerial photos of Ridgewood and other courses. Just click play above to see some really cool footage of our course and a few others. You can also click here: YouTube Video. Click the link below to view more photos of RCC from the air. RCC Aerial Photos

In other news, we have been busy working on several areas of the course. Check out the list and pictures below for more information.
  • Water Cooler Stands - Slabs have been poured and Mike Brasheers is hoping to complete construction by the end of the week.

  • Maintenance Facility Clean Up - We are a long ways from finished but we have definitely made some progress in the last month

  • Seed and Sod - Last month I mentioned that we had re-grassed the large area between 15 and 17. The sod is doing well and the tall fescue seed in coming in great. In addition, we used a combination of annual rye grass seed and erosion control mat to complete the marina project.

    We have also been very busy working on our capital plans for improving the maintenance facility, finalizing our 5 year equipment package, and initiating our Master Plan in conjunction with Colligan Design. This week we will begin trimming trees, continue irrigation work, begin our nursery construction, and grind several stumps.
