A survey of Poplar trees last fall found that around 125 of the 500 poplars on the property are dying or very near the end of their lifespan. Most of these, particularly the ones on the back-9, were planted in the early 1960's. Some are becoming a safety concern, while others affect course conditions and playability on certain holes.
Work began this week to remove up to 60 trees between now and opening day. Depending on the weather, there could be some cutting that remains in the spring. However, if all goes as planned, there should little or no disruption to play.
Plans are to replace trees in many areas. The timing and the type of trees will depend on a variety of conditions, but we will make every effort to get new trees started as soon as possible.
Did you know...that SGCC once had a single Green Ash tree on either side of the fairway as 150-yard markers. During course renovations, 12 of those trees were saved from closed holes north of the railway tracks, and planted along the roadway up to the existing clubhouse.
Have a Great Weekend.
