    Why Turface?

    A representative from Conserv inspected the fields. Properly grading the infields was the first step in enhancing field drainage. The second step involved firming the playing surfaces. Following the Conserv representative’s advice should improve the firmness of all playing surfaces while enhancing field drainage.

    Special Thanks

    These improvements would not have been possible without the hard work of Treasurer Barb Saylor, Travel Director Greg Case, Scott Smith and our field crew, and members of Aspen Landscape and Nursery.  

    More to Come

    Planning for Phases 2.75 and 3.0 are currently underway. More work to do, more improvements to come in 2023!
