The contractor has successfully completed the project including, but not limited to the
following:
• Renovated all 18 greens, restoring the greens to original size and condition
using new Tiff Dwarf sod.
• Renovated/reshaped all greenside bunkers to address shape, ease of
maintenance, installed bunker liners, repaired/installed drainage to all
greenside bunkers, and installed new sand.
• Re-established the lakes edges by removing excess grass and silt
accumulations along all lake edges.
• Renovated/reshaped all fairway bunkers to address shape, ease of
maintenance, installed bunker liners, repaired/installed drainage systems to all
fairway bunkers, and installed new sand.
• Added cobble at lake edges to stabilize the ground along the shore line due to
water encroachment. The cobble provides a firm foundation even with wicking
action from the lake. The Contractor and Architect agreed that if we rebuilt the
lake edges without installing the cobble the erosion problems and soft
conditions would continue.
• Rake caddie renovations/modifications: Since several bunkers were
combined, added, and removed as part of the renovation project, additional
rake caddies needed to be added, reinstalled, and repaired to complete the
renovation. Earth Sculptures was able to protect in place nearly half of the
existing bunker rake caddies.
• Removed one bunker, reshaped and resoded on the Firecliff Course hole No.
11 (not included in original scope). Per Court Order, the City of Palm Desert
was required to remove the first bunker on the left from the tees on hole No.
11 by December 15, 2009. Additionally, the Court Order required that
additional trees be replaced and installed; Desert Willow staff has completed
this work.
The Mountain View Course will remain closed until November 2, 2009, when it is
scheduled to reopen after reseeding has been completed.
