Native Areas
Last year the grounds committee in consultation with the Board and in conjunction with the Master Plan decided to develop several areas of the golf course that are generally not in play by allowing native grasses to grow naturally.
This was done for several reasons.
First, allowing these areas to grow naturally means we don’t have to use limited resources (both financial and physical) maintaining areas that are generally out of play. It also lessens the amount of chemicals we use. Additionally it promotes the wildlife that inhabits these areas.
These native areas also provide definition to the holes that they border giving perspective where previously there was none.
We realize not every feature of the golf course will please everyone. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and where one looks for it. And these decisions were not made in a vacuum. They were meant for the betterment of our golf club and enjoyment for all.
It would be nice if these changes were viewed with that understanding rather than backbiting and causing controversy for all.
