Grass Range Tee

The grass driving range tee is now open for the season.  The schedule will be the same as last year with hitting off of the grass on Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, and hitting of the matts on Sun, Mon, and Tue.


As the tee was constructed and grown-in last spring, we did not open it until mid-June and closed it the beginning of Oct.  My planned schedule is similar this year by giving it a little growth and recovery time in the spring here.  Now that it is actively growing we will open it each year in mid-May and leave it open until the turf starts to slow down growth the beginning of Oct.  While it is actively growing, we can quickly grow all divots back in.  The days on the turf will stay the same as last year with 4 days on the turf and 3 days on the matts.  It is a smaller tee because we did not have room to build it bigger, so 4 days gives 1 month to work through the tee front to back with a different setting each day, also meaning we have 1 month to re-grow the previous divots before we are back on that same location.   Last years timing worked out very good and it is exciting to see that we can be back on the turf for a practice facility for the next 5 months.
