From the Course
As temperatures cool and the days grow shorter, our golf course maintenance team shifts focus from the usual mowing and watering to other important projects around the property. This time of year provides a great opportunity to tackle tasks we don’t always have time for during the busy growing season. We dedicate more attention to out-of-play areas such as the slopes around the course, nearby streets, and the landscaped spaces surrounding the Clubhouse. It’s also an ideal time to address irrigation improvements—raising sprinklers, upgrading
components, and resolving any issues that require more time and precision. Leaf cleanup becomes a major focus as well, especially with the many Ash trees throughout the course keeping us busy. We also take this opportunity to raise tree canopies, which not only improves playability but also enhances irrigation efficiency during the warmer months. No matter the season, there’s always something to be done to keep South Hills Country Club in top shape.
