CommonGround Golf Course

CommonGround Golf Course is a new Tom Doak designed facility scheduled to open in the spring of 2009.

The facility will be the home of the CGA & the CWGA, and will be an affordable public facility built to support the mission of both organizations to "...represent, promote, and serve the best interests of golf in the state of Colorado".

The facility will include a world class 18 hole Championship Golf Course, a short course devoted to Junior Golf development, and a full service practice facility.

The Post Construction Walk Through....

On Wednesday, October 8th, the management team did the final walk through with Renaissance Golf Design's lead architect, Eric Iverson. Eric was surprised at how well the grow in was going and how thick the grass was throughout the course. He continued to reiterate how much fun he thought the course would be for all levels of golfers.

Since there were no major post construction items to address, the discussion primarily focused around the mow lines and heights that Tracy will be starting to establish in the spring. Although not set in stone, for normal day to day play Tracy anticipates mowing the greens at 1/8", the tees and green surrounds at 1/2", the fairways at 5/8", and the rough at 2"-2.5". Regardless of where the mow lines fall, all agreed that each hole should have a unique mow out yet provide plenty of shot options for players to choose from.

In other news, Calcon Contractors has been given the "ok" to begin the construction of the Starter Clubhouse, so we should begin to see some things happen on the site preparation within a week. Trust me, with as freezing as it has been in my office this week, I can assure you that no one wants this new building built quickly more than I do!

I did not have an opportunity to take any pictures this week, but I posted a few new shots last week. To view them, click here: October 6th Photos Finally, we had a professional photographer out this week, so I will post his images as soon as we get them.

Have a great week!
