Several months ago, I had reported that we had planted some wildflowers throughout the golf course in hard-to-maintain areas to add some color and habitat. These areas are now in full bloom and looking quite striking. Below are some recent photos that I took to illustrate this.
Over the last week or so, we have been prepping areas around the golf course for wildflowers. All of the areas that will be done should in no way affect the play of the golf course. There are several bebefits of doing this. This is one step in the certification process for the Audubon Sanctuary Program that we have registered for. You can read more about this project by clicking the tab at the top of the page. The wildflowers will provide not only beauty, but habitat for butterflies, birds and other wildlife. A few of these spots will eventually host bird boxes as well. A second benefit of doing this is to eliminate hard to maintain turf areas. Most of the areas are along the steep-sloped sides of tees where it is difficult to maintain with our equipment. This in turn, will save labor. We plan to start the seeding process within the next couple of days. Below are examples of areas that have been prepped for the seed.
