Based on Master Board approval we will start construction on the
#9 lake of the championship golf course. Effective immediately you
will see the lake water level being reduced. Construction will start
once the water dries up in the lake. Construction began last month
and work will continue for roughly 65 working days depending on
weather. This will be the last lake that we will need to address on
both golf courses for years to come. We will also be adding more
energy efficient pumps. The lake will also get aerifiers to help
circulate water, a rock veneer wall like hole #17, a waterfall and
plantings around the lake. During construction, entering roped off
areas or any removal of golf balls is strictly prohibited. We will do
our best to keep hole #9 open but there may be times when we will
need to close the hole. Should this occur, we will update the website
daily under "golf course conditions" and you can take par plus your
handicap for handicap posting purposes and proceed to the next
teeing area. Furthermore, during construction there will be a couple
of days we will be diverting traffic within Sun Lakes due to concrete
trucks on property. This is done for your safety as well as to speed up
the concrete construction process.
Along with this lake renovation, we will be enhancing the depth
to the south end of the driving range. Rather than haul off excess
material from the lake project we are going to utilize the material to
make the range tee deeper. By having a deeper tee we will have more
consistent turf. The south end will be closed for six to eight weeks so
please use the north end tee to practice.
We truly appreciate your patience during this improvement
project and we think you will be pleased with the end results.
