Lake Update

Shoreline ready for concrete.

Today, our lake contractors, Cook and Solis Construction Inc. will begin to install a liner in the lake.  Over the last week, they have been scraping back a foot of soil to be used as cover on the liner and hand digging the keyway for the wall.  Concrete will get poured next week, starting Tuesday when trucks will drive right into the lake basin and pump concrete to the shorelines.  During this process, it is very important that golfers stay clear of the haul road.  That means that no carts will be able to park on the right side of the 11th green because the concrete trucks will need to keep moving, not waiting for play.  A staff member will be on site to help guide traffic and prevent delays.  Click on the link above to see some of the handy work by Cook and Solis.

This is the path for concrete trucks, near site of future pump station.

 The liner is a thick, waterproof membrane that will be welded at the joints and even to drain lines entering the lake to ensure it remains watertight.  When the 17th green is open to play this weekend, players will not be allowed into the lake for any reason to protect the liner.  That means no retrieving balls or playing from the hazard.  The lake edge will be lined with caution tape and signs to help relay this message.

Installation of new overflow pipe.

Also, the pump house is "on the rack" finishing up assembly.  It will come ready to go and completely assembled.  I'm sure everyone is eager to get the course back to a normal 18 and start realizing the water savings this project will allow.  The wait is definitely worth the reward, so thank you for your patience.  Don't hesitate to contact Mike Spayd or myself if you have any questions about the status of this project or any course conditions.
