Landscape Project

We recently pulled out old, overgrown shrubbery that partially died from the harsh winter. The two areas we aesthetically upgraded, were behind #1 Lakes Course Tee and behind the pro shop/banquet area. We are extremely happy with the way it turned out and we hope you are as well!

Below is a picture of the before and after of one of the flower beds. We used mostly perennial plants that will provide extended color throughout the main golf season.

Bees in Bunkers

 

The bees you are seeing in the bunkers are called Eastern Cicada Wasp Killers. Although their large size and swarming can seem intimidating, these bees are non-aggressive. Unless these insects are directly handled, they try to avoid contact and WILL NOT STING PEOPLE. Control of these wasps are extremely difficult, because they do not swarm or have nests. They are a very solitaire bee that prefers to be by itself. The Cicada Wasp killer will be around for 4-6 weeks and we are currently on about week 2 right now (7/11/14.)

The picture to the left is one of the wasp killing the Cicada insect, that it is named after. The picture on the right is a typical burrow that you will see in a bunker edge.

 

Once again, there is no danger with these bees. We apologize for the inconvenience.
