Wildlife Series: Red Tail Hawk

Red Tail Hawk

 

 

 

One of our many birds we see throughout the course is our resident Red Tail Hawks.  These birds can be seen throughout the golf course at any given time of day.  Early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you can hear their cries as they hunt.  Evan Collins, our assistant superintendent and National ClubCorp Super Star award winner, snapped this series of pictures during a late afternoon on the course.  Stunning photos of the course in is natural state.

We just finished a project at the Practice Facility to help dry up the walk on area next to the cart path.  This area historically stays wet, and with the addition of the new tee has taken on more water than the low area collected in the past.  We added a drain basin to catch the majority of the water next to the cart path and also installed lateral lines to catch the runoff from the slopes.  These additions should keep the area in a drier state, allowing our members to better navigate the area.
