Want to give a huge shoutout to the members who came out to the Divot Party on Thursday! Thank you for all your help getting the course ready for the Men’s NCAA Regional Tournament and the summer ahead! #UNCGolf#UNC#FinleyGC@UNCFinley
Finley Golf Club is officially open! Has been a great year working through the project with many ups and downs but the finished project is now on display and it does not disappoint. Here are some photos just before opening.
From bird boxes to pollinator programs to sustainability efforts through best management practices, golf course superintendents make golf courses true environmental assets to the community. https://t.co/7SszYFgkMe #ThankASuper
The course had its first round played on it this past Tuesday as the Men’s Golf team came out for a practice round. Huge thanks to the entire crew for getting the course to this point. Much more to do ahead of October!
Final fairway of fraise mowing project is almost complete, so why not have a little lunch picnic to celebrate!! Thank you to the hard working team members of @FinleyAgronomy and @RNATurf for getting everything done in 5 days!
That’s a wrap on fraise mowing. Huge shout out to our crew this week/weekend. Many 12 hour shifts to get this wrapped up so fast. Now it’s time to turn up the fertility and grow these fairways back in! #UNCGolf#Agronomy#Turf#FraiseMowing#UNC#Golf
One of a kind practice facility for the golf team at the UNC Finley Golf Course. Tiftuf, Prizm Zoysia, TifEagle and bentgrass all being incorporated in different facets.
With only few new tees getting new sod, it was time to aerify tees and double vertical-cut. Next up is getting some nutrients on them and bringing in the sand. #UNCGolf#Turf#Agronomy#UNC#Golf
Take a look at the new number 1 Par 3. The sprigs are still growing in but everything is really starting to take shape with the high temperatures. More photos of each hole soon to come. #UNCGolf#FinleyGC#Agronomy#Turf#Golf#UNC
WrappIng up a wet and nasty week, but that didn’t stop our amazing crew from knocking out some big projects. Here are some pictures, enjoy the before and after video from new #7. #UNCGolf#FinleyGC#Agronomy#Turf
The Tif Eagle sprigs are here and have started to be spread on the greens. Here is a look at the new 3 green this morning. Hope to have a mower on them in about 2 weeks!
All 18 greens complex’s have been built and sodded. The collars have been sodded with Tahoma 31 Bermuda and the rough/approach with 419 Bermuda. The Better Bunker Solutions has been installed on all green side bunkers. Photos of 18 green and photos of every green coming soon.
Heres an update to the renovation at Finley GC. There has been major work done to the old 12-18 holes making them into the new front nine. Currently, most of the work is being centered around green complex shaping and building the USGA Spec Greens Soil. Much more work ahead.
