Hole by Hole Tour Oak Bay Part 1

This past Friday, we took a trip up to Port Severn to see the developments at Oak Bay. The course is growing in really well. Not seeing it on a daily basis allows one to notice a real difference in maturity. Here are a few points from our recent visit.
- The greens continue to mature as the maintenance staff continue to top dress and train the greens down.
- The fairways conditioning is pretty impressive given the fact the back 9 holes were constructed and seeded late last Summer.
- Tweaking of the golf course will continue as we monitor public play of the facility.
- Construction has begun (or will shortly begin) on the clubhouse and the marina. Both are anticipated to open next season.
- Many of the created environmental areas continue to thrive (more on this in a later post!)

While at the course, we took photos of each holes and have created on pictorial tour of the golf course. View Holes 1-9 in today's post and look back for Holes 10-18 later this week.
