#5 Time Lapse
Great Hazard Time Lapse
#4
“The Great Hazard” on #4 is transitioning from the rough-grading stage to
the fine-grading stage.
During this process our new bunker faces are being sand-capped with our old
bunker sand. As PCC lies in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the U.S.,
the combination of plenty of annual rainfall with heavy soils can cause native
fescue’s to naturally become thick. Sand-capping is an effort to try to
keep the new fescue drier and thinner than what they would naturally want to
become.
We expect final approvals on #4 next week. This will allow us to sod
around bunkers quickly thereafter.

#5 / #6
#5 green and #6 tees were buttoned up this week.
This provides members a clear view of our finished product. Bentgrass
green, tee, and approach sod was installed this week. In addition, the
one-third of #5 fairway closest to the green was also sodded.

#6
We will be heading down the home-stretch on #6 next week as well. Sod
has already been placed around two fairway bunkers. We will be lining the
remaining greenside bunkers today. By the end of next week, we hope to
achieve final approvals so we can complete the hole within the next couple
weeks.
Phase 1 Rough Grading
Rough grading continues on #4 & #7 tees, and all of #7. Next week,
rough grading will begin on holes #8 and #9 as well.
