Re-paving cart paths


As most of us know, the paths have deteriorated over the years as tree roots have created a series of annoying speed bumps on many holes and also in the NW corner of the parking lot. Early winter onset delayed fall paving but the project will resume in the spring and should be completed by opening day.

Repairing Divots

 

Paving Program in Detail

We will be repairing the cart paths using one of three strategies:

 

Removing the existing damaged pavement and then "coring" out the subsurface to remove roots. We will, when possible, use a trencher to cut tree roots. The trenching will need to be an ongoing process in an effort to control root damage. Clean gravel will be brought back and the area will re paved again.

 

Unfortunately, many of the damaged cart paths are directly adjacent  to large trees that, some may argue, are an asset to the golf course. Removing those roots would not only negatively affect the tree's health but would also seriously hinder the tree's stability. The approach in those circumstances will involve smoothing out the roots by applying small lifts of pavement and creating, hopefully, subtle humps. In time we will have to address these areas again but without removal of those trees this seems to be the best approach.

 

Other areas will involve the creation of a new cart path and that will require excavation of native material and adding gravel and then paving.
