Back 9 Ditch Network Update


Progress on the Back 9 ditch network has been tremendous despite wet weather. Pictured below is an aerial photograph of the Back 9 and the progress that has developed in just one week’s time. The yellow lines demonstrate ditches that have been cleaned out and the red lines depict work that still needs to be completed.
Pictured above: progress from last weeks construction activity. 


As illustrated, the ditches servicing 18 golf hole and the Practice Facility have been cleaned. In addition, the “Main Ditch” or main artery of the Ditch Network that all lateral or supplemental ditches are connected too has been cleaned as well. These ditches still need to go through some final shaping and contouring but it is safe to say that step one of removing vegetation from those ditches is complete and looking good.

In the weeks to come, the team from MacCurrach Golf will be transitioning into the red line ditches to commence the cleaning at those sites. The red line ditches will service the far side of the course adjacent to the Ogeechee River and golf holes 10,11,15,16 and 17.

Construction activity will be limited to the ditch network and the back of the practice facility causing minimal or no disruption to members playing golf. All 18 holes and the practice facility are open for play.
