Rough Maintenance Standards Checklist

Rough Standards:

The rough will be maintained at a height between 2.25 and 2.5 inches with rotary mowers. The primary or intermediate cut of rough (area roughly 15' around fairway) will be maintained at 1.75 inches and be mowed two times a week

The rough bordering fairway bunkers will be maintained regularly to maintain proper turf buffer between the bunker and fairway.

The rough will be mowed at least once a week when actively growing with perimeters of fairways cut a second time if needed. Growth regulators will be used in the spring and fall, to slow the growth rate of the grass around the fairway perimeter.

Large remote areas of rough will be cut monthly.

Broadleaf weeds will be controlled as needed to promote aesthetics, playability and uniformity.

Edges and O.B. areas of course will be mowed monthly: these areas include wooded areas with turf, fence edges, and out of the way native / meadow areas.
