SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Community – March Update

Golf in March:

March has begun, and with it, the busiest golfing period of the year. The dormant turf will soon begin to green up, and we will begin the growing season. This will be an exciting summer as the greens mature and soften, and the fairways thicken, and weak spots fill in. This will be our first summer coming up wherein the course was fully dormant during the winter, and the potential for summer conditions our best yet! Stay in tune with the Forecaddie to keep up to date with everything pro shop and golf course related. In the sections following, you will find all the information relating to this month in golf, as well as contact information for our golf associations and our Greens Committee. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

Gold Maintenance Schedule:

A maintenance plan is put into place at the beginning of the year. Variance in weather and agronomic conditions may require changes to the schedule. March Maintenance Schedule The driving range tee is planned to be on the artificial turf for one week beginning Monday, March 21st. The natural turf will be rested one week per month, except in December and January when it will be rested for two weeks in those months due to the slowing of the growth rate of the rye overseed.

Every 3-4 weeks, November through March, we will delay tee times one hour on a Monday and Wednesday to allow the staff to paint the greens and fairways.

Back Nine morning nine-hole times will not be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on a year-round basis to allow maintenance time to complete weekly tasks.
