The first of three planned resurfacing projects at Grapevine Golf Course will start next month.
During the Grapevine City Council meeting April 7, a contract not to exceed $518,750 was given to Greenscapes Six for resurfacing the greens on the Bluebonnet 9 and the putting green located near hole No. 1 on the Bluebonnet course.
The Grapevine Golf Course comprises three courses: Bluebonnet, Mockingbird, and Pecan.
The details
Co-head golf professional Chadd Kaiser told the council that the plan is to start May 11, and the project would take four to five months. The process includes removing the putting surface and organic matter down six inches deep and replacing the layer that was removed. Then, would come the growing process, watering and fertilizing.
According to Kaiser’s presentation, the greens have not been resurfaced since the course opened in 1998. The lifespan of TifEagle Bermuda grass is about 20 years.
The work by the Liberty-based company will also include removing the first bunker on the right of hole No. 7, adding a bunker on hole No. 7, adding a bunker on hole No. 9 and sod work throughout the course.
Kaiser said the plan would be to reopen the Bluebonnet course in September if there are no delays.
By the numbers
Kaiser said Grapevine Golf Course has seen at least 83,000 rounds of golf played each of the past five years.
“The wear and tear to the greens, based upon the number of players we have had in the past several years, is why the greens resurfacing project is so important and vital to the overall experience,” he said.
Kaiser said the plan is to replace the greens on Pecan in 2027 and Mockingbird in 2028.
What else?
With the closure of the nine-hole course, tee time intervals will be every eight minutes up to 10 a.m. and then every nine minutes after 10 a.m.
