Bluegrass Sod

While out on the course the last few days you may have noticed our staff prepping some areas for sod.  A few areas were damaged during the micro-burst that occurred on July 7th.  The area pictured was damaged due to the heavy crane that was brought in to removed the uprooted pines by the driving range.  We also plan on placing some sod at the pool and by the 7th tee where we saw significant storm damage.  Also we hope to address a few other areas with any additional sod that we may have.

New Plantings on 7 Hill

When the club was given permission by the town to remove pine trees located on the hillside on 7 it was with the stipulation that new plants had to be added to the general area.  We selected some bushes and other plants from local nurseries and have begun the process of planting them on the hillside.  The plants will be located further up the hillside where they will not be detrimental to the quality of turf but rather add a nice visual when playing the hole.  These plants are all native species which will also have a positive impact on the wildlife of the course.

Storm Damage

The club received significant storm damage yesterday from  a tornado / micro burst that hit the area around 5:30 p.m.. There are dozens of trees down all along the storms path and significant damage to the course and clubhouse. The course is currently closed and will reopen after it can be assessed for safety of golfers and guests. Check with the pro shop for availability for the golf course and clubhouse facilities.

Arthur comes to Concord CC

Tropical storm Arthur made landfall in Concord yesterday.  In total the course has received an inch and a half of rain since yesterday.  While some areas of the course are a bit soggy, the greens have been mowed and are ready for what looks to be a great remainder of the weekend.  We hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend, we look forward to seeing you around the course.

4th of July

The golf course is in great shape heading into the summer.  The weather thus far has been good with a tough stretch of high heat and humidity coming in on Monday.  I hope to see all of you around the club; if not please have a safe and Happy 4th of July weekend!
