Raising Low Spots

One of our winter projects this year will be to level low spots in our fairways. There are old drain lines that have "sunken" over time. These areas create dips (low spots) in the fairways, which can lead to awkward lies and stances for the golfer.

The staff will remove the sod, add greens mix underneath, level the area and place the sod back. Then the areas are tamped and topdressed. The sod work will visible for most of the winter but by spring it will knit/blend in perfectly. This will not only help playability but it should create less areas for water to puddle during rain events. Which in turn could lead to quicker turn around on cart path only days.
