Throughout the year, we create a massive amount of green waste. A majority this volume is a product of the hundreds of trees that reside on the course. When not vacuuming up fallen leaves or cutting up downed branches, we spend a vast amount of time tree trimming. This form of maintenance is important for several reasons including player and staff safety, improving irrigation performance, protecting mowing equipment, and preventing insect and disease hosting. The debris is collected and stored in the nursery area until being ground into mulch and re-utilized on the course and at the clubhouse.
