Keep it in the Fairway!

As we head into the warmer months of the year, we would like to encourage you to keep the carts out of the rough as much as possible.  Advancing your cart down the fairway as opposed to driving in the rough is preferred.

During the hot months of summer the Zoysia is actively growing and able to withstand additional stress, compared to the cool season grasses in the rough, which tend to struggle more with the heat.

Our approach to managing cart traffic can be confusing with the changes throughout the year.   The 90 Degree Rule, which used to be our method for managing cart traffic has been replaced with a system that limits traffic in areas that are at their weakest stage of seasonal growth.    To summarize:

•  May - September:  keep the carts more on the Zoysia and out of the rough as much as possible.  

• October - April:  keep the carts in the rough and out of the Dormant Zoysia as much as possible.

Thank you for your help with this.  Small changes in how you make your way through the course will go a long way towards keeping the conditions we all desire.
