Kelsey Creek project moves on

The work in Kelsey Creek has moved from the 11th and 16th holes to the North end of the course.

This photo shows the area on #11 where the stream was widened and large woody debris was added to create new fish habitat. The areas where the burlap is showing will be covered with soil and eventually planted with native shrubs near the end of the project in September. There is a yellow line on each side of the stream showing the margin of the water hazard. Anything between the white line and the yellow line is ground under repair (GUR). There are ball drops on each side of the stream to hit from if a ball lands in the GUR on that side of the stream.

The contractor has moved their operation to the first weir in the stream near the 8th green. Each weir will be lowered so the jump height over them will be possible for juvenile fish. There will be a road constructed down the left side of the 7th and 8th fairways for equipment movement back and forth. All of these areas will be restored by the contractor before the job is finished. These areas will be marked GUR and a free drop may be taken with no penalty. I'll keep this updated as work moves south toward the 8th tee.
