Rather than shutting down a golf course for many months to completely rebuild Tees and Greens, they should close the course for 1 month to renovate the existing course, plus make limited changes that can be completed within that time span at a very limited budget. This is not a budget issue . . . Throwing more money at something doesn't improve it.
Wait for the aeration schedules to start up. You’ll again “read” how golfers appreciate (bitch) about this necessary maintenance to try and keep these courses up. I see very few people taking care of our exec courses like they did their home courses. The tee boxes are full of gouges, greens covers in unrepaired ball marks. Fill a divot or two, repair your ball marks. If just 1/2 the people would fix their divot/ball mark plus one more there wouldn’t be any unrepaired left and these courses would stay in much better shape.
