Lake Renovation: Demolition Begins

The lake is pretty much drained and big equipment has been arriving at the course since last week.  Today, Earth Sculptures Inc worked to clear the vegetation between the future reservoir and the 11th fairway.  The large excavator in the photo dug a massive hole back in our waste area by I-15 to prepare a resting spot for the old concrete and to harvest good topsoil.  Soon, that machine will be carving up the concrete rim and mucking out the lake bottom.

The BHCC crew was busy as always with maintenance work, irrigation repair, and setting up a temporary green on the 17th fairway.  The green is located 85 yards short of the regulation green and will be in play during the week days as work continues.  The 11th hole will play as a par 3 from 150 yards.  Both holes will play as normal on the weekends.

There will be many updates to come as progress is made on this major project.
