Paving

BA Blacktop has been at KGC for the past 2 days and finished their part in paving the cart paths. We had to close the front and back nines on different days to limited interference between the paving crew and the players. Each day the paving crew shows up on your door step it costs over $7000 so it was to the clubs advantage to make sure the pavers could work without any interference. Everyones understanding with the respect to inconveniences caused by the paving project is greatly appreciated and will be, hopefully, rewarded with a nice smooth ride!

Hot mix had to brought to the paver from staging areas since the tandems could not access areas within the golf course


Loaders travelled across certain areas on the fairways with the only real damage on #6 where there was severe rutting.


This just shows the amount of equipment needed to do even a tiny project like KGC just did


End result

You can go to www.kimberleygolfclub.com/news.html to understand how we chose which areas to core out and completely re-do versus "over paving". There remains numerous spot that still need repairing but it is probably wise to look at paving cart paths as an on going maintenance process versus a one shot deal as long as we are dealing with trees and their roots. Now that paving is complete the grounds crew will spend the season tying in the edges and cleaning up all the seemingly random piles of debris left all over the golf course.
