Turf Hound Mats on Par 3 Tees

Nine Hawk Tee with Turf Hound Mat

The new Turf Hound mats on the par 3 tees will be removed prior to golf on Saturday morning May 21st. The exceptions will be number nine Hawk and number eight Raven. These two mats will be removed before play begins on Tuesday May 24th.

The reason we use the mats on the par 3's in Spring is because bentgrass on the tees is very slow to start growing in the spring and has very limited ability to recuperate from divots. If we didn't use the mats the tees would get severely beat up from divots before the season really gets going and would be in terrible condition all season.


The micro climates for holes 9 Hawk and 8 Raven are even less conducive to turf growth early in the season so we will give those holes a few more days.
