Wildflowers

We are incorporating three wildflower areas on the golf course.  The wildflower areas are located on holes 4, 9 and 12.

The first step in this process was to mow down the area of long grass. After the area was mowed, we then sprayed roundup to kill the existing grass, reducing competition with the new wildflower seed as it germinates and establishes.  Next, we tilled the areas to create a good seed bed and remove the dead grass.  Finally, we seeded the areas with a low-grow wildflower seed mix and incorporated it into the soil.
