One of our small projects for the winter is to clean-up some of the cartpath ends. Over many years of use and traffic, the end of the path starts to chip away, develop loose asphalt, and show extreme turf wear and compaction. We do things on a regular basis to relief compaction and improve turf quality, but sometimes the asphalt needs work. This causes the general traffic to avoid the straight off section of the path and use the two sides for exit. Below is a picture from last summer, you can see due to the roughness at the end of the path everybody exits left or right.
By improving the asphalt and turf quality at the end of the path, ie a smoother ride and exit, we can get golfers to use more exit points.
As we have discussed in the past, the key with traffic on turf is scattering and moving the traffic around. This improvement will now allow the golfer to also exit off the end of the cartpath along with the two sides.
