Winter is the best time to remove and prune trees because the ground is frozen. While in this frozen state, heavy equipment can be used on the course with minimal damage to the turf. We've been lucky so far this winter with good ground conditions (until this week) and have been able to do tree maintenance on 3,5,6,9 and 16 so far this Winter. Below are some examples of tree issues that cause us to remove or prune trees.

The off-season gives us the chance to improve other areas on the golf course. The bridge on 16 will be refurbished The existing decking and hand rails will be removed and replaced with new rough sawn oak planks and treated hand rail material. The steel supports are inspected to ensure a safe crossing over Fleming Creek.
