October 16, 2024 As Rams Hill Golf Club is now officially open and we are excited to share the golf course with the public after all of the incredible work that went into this summer’s turf conversion. All fairways, roughs, tees, and surrounds have been successfully converted to TifTuf bermudagrass, following last summer’s putting green turf conversion to Mini Verde bermudagrass. This multimillion-dollar project has provided a complete transformation to the golf course’s playing surfaces while also allowing Rams Hill to use up to 25% less water annually. In the final weeks leading up to opening on October 4, the Rams Hill team has been perfecting mow lines, defining the surrounding bunker color, detailing, edging, and planting greenery. The putting greens are set to open at an 11 on the stimpmeter!  Both the putting greens and fairways now feature a strain [...]

August 15, 2024 Our commitment to providing an exceptional golf experience is always evolving. We are excited to share that our newly planted TifTuf bermudagrass fairways are thriving in the heat of summer. Currently the team is completing the topdressing of all tees, approaches, green surrounds, and landing areas.

August 7, 2024 Rams Hill Golf Club is in full-growth mode and doing exceptionally well. To support the development of the new TifTuf bermudagrass fairways and enrich the soil with essential nutrients, the maintenance team has begun top dressing the golf course. What is Top Dressing? This process includes adding a layer of nutrient rich sand to the newly planted turf which will then settle into the soil. The benefits of top dressing include a smoother playing surface, improved drainage, thatch control, and to promote lateral growth. Additionally, each putting green planted last summer with Mini Verde bermudagrass has undergone aerification and top dressing. This operation is essential to healthy greens to allow air into the soil and roots. Each putting green gets compacted from foot traffic and it is important to allow the roots to breathe. This [...]
