Before and After on 3 Creek

Erosion 3 Creek Continues

After two trees were removed, the area was graded.  This removed soil that has been moved around during flooding and provided a base for rocks to be installed to prevent erosion.

Next the cart path was removed because the creek had been undercutting it.

Then a heavy erosion fabric was installed in order to keep the rocks from settling into the sub-soil.

Then rocks were stacked on the liner starting at the water level and moving up.

After the rocks were stacked the crew filled any holes in the slope by hand with smaller rocks to strengthen the slope.

Once the rock work was done, forms were set and concrete was poured.

 The area around the new cart path was graded and grass was planted in areas where the soil was disturbed.

Erosion Work on 3 Begins

Scott Peck and Professional Golf Services arrived this week to begin erosion repair work on the creek between 2 and 3.  They are going to repair the section along 3 cart path between the two live oaks.  This is the area with the most erosion and the cart path is in immediate danger of being compromised. In order to keep disruption to golf play to a minimum, this project will be done in sections so PGS will be back in the spring to continue repairing other areas on along the creek.

The cart path will be removed in this section in order to regrade the area properly.  It will be replaced once all of the dirt work is finished.

The Ash tree on the 3 fairway side and the leaning water oak that is rotten on the bottom will be removed.

Once the cart path is removed and the slope is graded, a fabric erosion liner will be installed and rock will be placed on top of it to prevent future erosion issues.

Completion pictures coming soon...
