Spring 2025: Aerification Update

April 23, 2025 by tarabahl

Spring is in full swing, and with it comes the essential work of golf course aerification—the foundation of healthy turf and high-quality playing conditions. We’re excited to share our 2025 spring aerification progress and timeline so far.

Fairway Aerification Completed March 18th

We kicked off this year’s turf maintenance with fairway aerification, which wrapped up on March 18th. Thanks to cooperative weather, this crucial step was completed on schedule. The fairways have healed beautifully and are now providing excellent playing conditions across the course.

Greens Aerification Completed April 16th

After a short delay due to inclement weather and a team member’s emergency appendectomy (they’re recovering well!), we successfully completed greens aerification on April 16th. The weather during this process was ideal, allowing us to thoroughly fill the aerification holes with sand and achieve excellent surface results.

  • Topdressing sand is currently being brushed in, watered, and mowed regularly.
  • Players can expect healed green surfaces by May 7th.
  • Green #1 is currently the most heavily sanded and will receive final adjustments this week.
  • Green #17 will be lightly topdressed again to ensure uniformity.

Tees & Approaches Aerification Scheduled for April 22–24

The final piece of our spring aerification program is underway this week. Tees and approaches are scheduled for aerification from April 22nd through April 24th. These areas will be topdressed just as heavily as the greens to ensure consistency and long-term turf health.

  • On Thursday, April 24th, play will begin on Hole #10 to allow our team time to complete Holes 1–6 efficiently.
  • We expect tee and approach surfaces to be fully healed by May 14th.

Looking Ahead: Mid-May Course Conditions

We’re pleased with how everything is progressing. By mid-May, all playing surfaces—greens, tees, approaches, and fairways—will be in fantastic condition. Aerification is never the most glamorous aspect of golf course maintenance, but it’s critical to keeping turf healthy and surfaces smooth and playable throughout the season.

Thank you for your patience and support as we complete this important work. We’re committed to providing the best conditions possible, and this year’s aerification schedule is setting us up for success.
