COURSE MAINTENANCE UPDATE
With our Pitch & Putts now open regular hours our maintenance crews and gardeners will start ramping up for spring. You will start to see some work being done over the next few weeks.
After some thin turf coming out of last year's drought the Pitch & Putt courses are in pretty good condition. The crew has been working at Stanley Park to complete some substantial brushing of overgrown areas around the perimeter of the golf course. Additionally, new hole signs at Stanley Park will be installed later this spring.
There is also a plan to do a more comprehensive aeration program at the Pitch and Putts this spring and over-seed all traffic areas from winter play. Once irrigation systems are pressured up, all staging areas and tee mats will pressure washed.
We are planning to perform aeration work at all three pitch and putts starting on April 18th, weather permitting. Watch for updates on the specific days for each course. We will do our best to perform these important maintenance procedures with as limited interruption to the golfer as possible.

By email to 3-1-1 regarding Queen Elizabeth Pitch and Putt:
"First of all, THANK YOU for offering free golf in the winter months. I know for a fact it gets many people hooked on the game, and gives families a chance to introduce their kids to golf as well."
"Secondly, the improvements to Queen Elizabeth Pitch and Putt, namely the new creek that winds across the 3rd hole, is AWESOME!! It's so good to see and hear running water, and it cleans up the soggy areas where the water had been backing up. The groundskeeping staff at that park are so professional, and it is clear that they take a great deal of pride in their work. Parks are certainly tax money well spent!!"
We thank everyone who takes the time to provide us with any type of feedback. You can leave your comments at 3-1-1 and share them with us throughout the golf season as we re-start our monthly online survey in May.
