The course may be closed to the public, but Lady Bird is still buzzing with activity in early November. While we’re closed for planned maintenance, the crew is moving from greens and tees to bunkers, cart paths, the clubhouse, and the driving range.
We’re nearly finished overseeding the greens and tees, adding fresh seed to the existing turf to help create a more consistent putting surface through winter and spring. New seed needs a little extra attention to get established. Short, frequent watering cycles throughout the day help the seed germinate, and the 10-day closure gives us time to keep that schedule without golf traffic on the newly seeded areas.
The maintenance crew is also edging the bunkers and adding sand, mulching, trimming along the cart paths, and tending to the trees around the clubhouse. It’s a good time to handle the details that keep the course looking its best year-round.
There’s work underway indoors, too. We’re adding a utility room on the southeast corner of the clubhouse, including new plumbing to install a washer and dryer for cleaning the golf cart towels. We’ve also had the hallway and Cardinal Room carpets cleaned, giving those spaces a fresh start ahead of the holidays.
The Range Servant building is getting attention, too. We’re remodeling it inside and out. We also store our junior club sets there, so the improvements will freshen up a useful part of the range.
A lot is happening while the course is closed, and we appreciate your patience as the work gets done and the new grass begins to take hold. Follow us on social media for more updates from Lady Bird.
