With the exception of a few punch list items the irrigation renovation is complete on holes 11-18 of the Hills course therefore the back nine will re-open for play on 7/2/11 once we complete scheduled cultural practices on the Hills and Highlands next week. We’ll now begin installation of the irrigation on the front 9 so these holes will be closed beginning 6/27/11 with a tentative completion date of 8/17/11.Once the Hills course is finished will begin installation on Grand Club Drive. Some of the punch list items include cart path repair, sod installation within impacted areas and gravel installation around grounding.

Holes 11-14 of the Hills course have been completed as part of the phase 2 Irrigation Renovation. Holes 15-18 are next on the schedule in an effort to complete the back 9 of the Hills and TPCA staff continues to have a vital role as it relates to quality control during installation. Potential punch list items are being addressed as we move forward but the final inspection will be performed by Aqua Turf International at which time all aspects will be reviewed by the parties involved. I’ll keep everyone informed of any schedule changes that may occur via the information channels we’ve established here at TPCA which include the Friday Flash, TPCA website & Irrigation blog as the project moves forward.
